  1. Type of Soy or Soy Blend you use? c-3 Additives if any? none Preferred dyes? liquid, Peak , Candle & Supplies Preferred wick (Not sizes)? Heinz Coreless, (CD) Pouring temp you recommend? around 200 What you do to prevent frosting? happens occasionally, i like the look What you do to prevent rough tops? I heat gun the tops, if i have to move the wicks Do you do anything to prevent wet spots? Hasn't been a problem.
  2. I think your decision on should be primarily based on who you sell to. If you have a store, you can make it a second grand opening, that you are now going colorless. If you do Craft shows, you may find it different. People are drawn in by color, so the lack of it in your candles may be precieved, by the causal passer-by as all vanilla. LOL, i have no idea why, i guess we can thank the "big boys" who have somehow managed to make everyone believe that vanilla is white. You'll really have to test your market to find out what's right for you. I personally do my soy jars in very bright vivid colors that attract people to my booth at Craft Shows.. Just my 2 Cents
  3. Deprending the the quality of the beans, you might use them for potpourri and on wreaths. If you are getting plump new beans then they are best to make your own vanilla sugar and vanilla extract. i found that once i started making my own, i baked ALOT more often, Lol,
  4. might try a touch of baby's breath on the sides, will add a bit of color and depth.
  5. Honey Gingerbread is OHH so Yummy, i recieved some Bath Melts in a swap and fell head over heels in love with it, i couldn't stop sniffing the melts. I've made Votives in it and Soy Jars and they smell ohh so yummy burning in my kitchen.. I'm making lotion with it right now (mine.. all mine! )
  6. [quote=mizbizzyb;519772]lol - I would love the DJ (DH is one) so if it is him, he would name drop for me or if it was one of his friends or employees, same thing. If it wasn't someone he readily knew, I would have him come mingle and then have people directed to me..... lol maybe I am different. I Think You are missing the Point here. Having a booth across from someone who is being loud and blaring music is very distressful to those of us who are used to providing customer service to ALL of our possible Customers. I talk to everyone who enters/walks by my booth. I Do understand that some people just sit behond a booth and wait for customers to ask to purchase an item, but that's not my style. I Like to interact with customers, even those who are just browsing or aren't even interested in Purchasing. You never know who you will meet. ETA: DEFINATLY CONTACT the show you have with the same DJ and tell them that this is NOT accetpable. Remember, You are paying them for the space.. THEY ARE using YOUR money to pay for the DJ.
  7. Turn Off the AC, The room is Much Cooler than you are pouring at and the Tops are cooling off much more quickly than the rest of the jar. I correct this By hitting everything with a Heatgun before it leaves my shop.

  10. Several Blue mica's discolor to mauve, which is what i think may be the case here, as i can see your swirl in a pale version.
  11. Paper cups, Cheap and easy to use. Just pinch a spout on them, also makes it easier when pouring a bunch of different colors for fragrances.
  12. I can't Control it any longer, i am SOO Upset. I paid an invoice for $240 on the 31st of May, checked my bank statement.. went thru just fine. So then on the 13th of June, they charged my card again.. well, causes a chain of events, and 3 bounced check charges of $34 each. The person who caused this problem claimes no fault, said that they reveresd the charges after they were subitted. SO what am i suppost to do, i look like a deadbeat to those i do business with because someone doesn't know how to keep their own books. Now i have just had to pay $102 in bounced check fees, because of someone's ill book keeping. What do i do now? The person who charged me doesn't seem to care that these charges were incurred, even though they had no business in creating fraudulant charges..
  13. You Might try this place http://www.buhiimports.com/cgi-bin/webstore.cgi?user_action=detail&catalogno=SY02-1, they have alot of the wire baskets
  14. i Came upon this article shortly after reading this question, i think as a result of information like this, and presented in a way as to be factual, it makes consumers worry, not to mention making Chandlers nervous to work with Gel. http://reviews.ebay.com/A-Buyer-apos-s-Guide-to-Understanding-Candle-Wax-Types_W0QQugidZ10000000000047348
  15. Different Co's Have their Fo's Formulated in different ways, so even when working with the same manufacturer, Formualtions and scents are different.
  16. GO WITH IT. I LOVE the font, and the flower logo is great, because it's not something you see all over the place, it's ORIGIONAL, which is something that is very often hard to find when so many people are trying to copy everyone else.. Go with it (LOL, until everyone tries to copy it)
  17. So What oils do you Use? You are always touting you oils and dropping your .. website.? So what fragrance oils are you using? I am very curious
  18. SINCE it has become impossible for people to purchase Lye, Given the new laws, being able to purchase kis should be held under the same restarints
  19. Anyone know where to Buy it. I got it from the buying group before and they are no longer carrying it.. I need more, and haven't found any good sources that don't require you to purchase 100 lbs.
  20. Perhaps they are made from a mold like this http://www.candlewic.com/store/Product.aspx?q=cPolyurethane,p285
  21. I've done Milkbath in Cute Little Kraft Bags, with Baggies of the Product inside. I just Double folded the top of the Bag, Poked 2 holes thru the top and tied a ribbon bow thru the holes.. Looks pretty darn Cute.. and very inexpensive to do.
