You Go Girl Pink, Purple, Orange Hot Flash Red, Red, Red, Black Tease Blue (as in balls) Picasso Similar to GG's Acid Trip Stardust Gold and Silver in a white base I don't have any idea for the rest of them
I gave away my black portion cups because as they sat, the FO's ate through the plastic and they all stuck together. It was a big gooey mess. That is a perfect example of long term testing. After 5 months, the cups failed. How long do those clear ones hold up to the FO's?
Check TKB Trading. They carry lots of the FD&C and D&C stuff. Here's one, FD&C Red 40 Alum Lake. I don't know if it's the same one SoapFreak was talking about or not. FD&C Red 40 Alum Lake
No third eye. You should be ok but next time mix your lye in a well ventilated area away from pets, kids and husbands. I don't know how to make lye out of wood ash, there are website that can teach you. If you're afraid of the jar stuff, I wouldn't suggest you make your own. You'd never know the exact strength. I do believe you can use Roebic but you should do a search on the name. I've seen it posted many times, you should be able to find that answer easy enough.
Test burns aren't good enough. I know you are new but you need to understand this. Every single jar must be thorougly tested for each FO, each color. Every single combo. This can not be stressed enough. Making candles isn't a joke, it isn't a get rich quick scheme. Fire is dangerous. You may not think so but ask anyone that has had a candle burn down a home. My neighbor across the street burned her house down because of a bad candle. This is serious. We spend $1000's of dollars to perfect our craft and we take offense to people that think they can make a nice looking product and then sell it after just a few test burns. This site is here to teach others how to make candles but also the safety behind making and selling candles. IMO, you have a lot to learn.
OK, if no one else is going to jump in here, it might as well be me. You are brand new to candle making, on December 6th you posted you were new and asked about soy wax. Here it is, two months later and you have an entire line of at least 5 different jars in several different colors and combinations of colors. I just have to ask. Have you thoroughly tested every jar in every scent and color combo? Do you have your insurance lined up yet?
Mine didn't have milk in it, Scented, just FYI. Also, forgot to mention, I use 1oz PPO and that bar I posted in the other thread is over a year old and the scent is still good.
Scented, sorry I didn't see this thread until just now. Here's a picture of OM Goddess in my CP recipe. I don't use Olive Oil. Hope this helps. It moves a little faster than some FO's but not much.
I use a whisk or an immersion blender (google immersion blender or stick blender) With my recipe, I get to trace within a couple minutes. Not enough time to walk out of the room. I don't rebatch, are you making soap and then rebatching it?
I have done 1lb batches but only measuring in grams and being very careful. If you are only trying to test colors. I'd go with 1lb (measured in grams) or 2lb and then divide into smaller batches for color testing. I read somewhere that someone does this in paper cups and can test 10 or more color/scents at a time.
