I am using CB30 and having some problems keeping the wicks lit after they have burned half way down. They have great throw! The wick tabs are coming soon at WSP and that will be nice.

What wax is everyone testing with? Problems?

I have problems with wet spots as well. The other day I was pouring test candles and one jar I was re-using. I had just got done melting the old wax out of it and dumping it. I just wiped the jar out and it left a wax residue from the old wax. I didn't care at the time since the candle is for me and testing. Out of the three candles I poured this one was the pretties and No wet spots and has stayed that way. So I am going to test pour a few more and wipe some wax on the inside. Maybe something you would want to try.

I do NG monkey Farts and call it Monkey Bubbles. I haven't put it in wax yet but people really like it in B&B products.

NG Passionate Kisses is good match. The Kama Sutra Misbehavin is yummy! I made some MP soap and like to just go take a whiff of it. I haven't burned it yet but plan on it.

Suzanne

Thank you! Just ordered a sample pack to try them out.

I LOVE that fragrance!!!! I didn't know anyone had a dub. Yummy

Can't find their web-site, anyone have it???

Extreme Newbie here! We don't have Health food stores here unless you mean vitamin or all natural?? We do have lots of coffee shacks though! LOL We also have an upscale market/grocery I think I will go ask them but what is the saflower oil originally for? What section would I look for it? I really appreciate the help.

Suzanne

WOW! thank you so much for the link I had never been there before!

I have tried one other recipe and had a huge mess! Monster size bath bombs:embarasse I would love to try this one but where do I get the Safflower oil?

Thanks

Suzanne

Your soaps are beautiful. I like the clear ones as well when the colors are so pretty! May I ask where you get your bottles?

Suzanne

Last I ordered it was in December and it is fine(just smelled it again). I did have the same thing happen with Ginger Peach from them. I am afraid to order more since the big bottle I have stinks so bad. I do really like their oils and have had very few problems.

I have been testing the wood wicks from WSP and I have had pretty good results as well. Its the only wick I have gotten to work properly. I was just about ready to give up. Does anyone know if their is a difference in the wood wicks from WSP and Candles and Supplies?? Wondering if I need to test both companies or not.

Great Tutorial!!!!!

Suzanne

I probably want the same jars you use since they only have a few frosted to offer. It would cost me almost $2.00 a jar to ship that is what make is almost $4.00 a jar. I live in Washington so maybe that is the difference. I check out the other place and they only have one style in stock. Thanks for trying to help me I really appreciate it!

NG has a Carmel corn and it is body safe. I actually put it in my cart to order yesterday.

I was looking for some frosted candle jars. I checked out Fillmore but it would cost me almost $4.00 a jar after shipping and the Jar store never seems to have them in stock. Is there any other places someone would recommend?

TIA

Suzanne

I have tried heating the jars, pouring at regular jar temp, let cool on the oven, cooling in the oven. Anyone have a wet spot secret to this wax?

Suzanne

No they don't come with bases. They say to keep them 1/4 an inch away from the bottom. I think if I decided to sell them I would probably add on the warning to stop burning candle when 1/2inch of wax is left. I don't know for sure but I will be testing a lot. I have three going right now!

I am currently test burning the wood wicks from WSP. These ones look the same as the ones I have. I wonder if they are made by the same manufacturer.

• I never heard of doing this! What an interesting idea.

What wicks are you all using?

I never thought about passing a little free sample, I like that idea. I really like all your ideas!

Thanks Everyone! I have some more hope now that things will turn around in the next few month from what you are all saying. I live in the rainy state so we only have a few weeks of sun left. Never thought I would look forward to that!

What I currently offer the hostess is a (A)free item just for hosting, (B)additional 2 free items for sales equaling $200 and one booking and ©with $300.00 in sales and 2 bookings they get an additional 2 item half off and 10% in total party sales in free regular priced merchandise. So I offer a lot of options and the more that is spent the more they get. I might have to add that they get an additional about per person that comes and orders, I like that idea.

I got got mine for NG and smells like Apples and Oak no question.

Another dilemma is that now I have to give the hostess something for hosing the party. The hostess was also let down and thought a lot more people would show. She spent a ton on food and wine. I think when all is done I lost money at this party.

I currently sell tarts, oils, reed sticks, plug-ins, wick-less candles, Bath and Body products as well as electric and tea-light tart warmers. I have all up for display as well as the scent for people to choose. I have specials like buy 4 oils get one free and start up packages as well. For the Hostess I offer a free burner or 4 oils just for hostess. Then I have incentives for how much people spend or booking and they get more form there.

I am getting so disappointed with home parties. I have done 4 and and average of 3-4 people show up and spend $20. I spend more just to put the party on. Not only that but I have to drive and lug all my stuff in someones house. I am not sure what other route to go to sell product! I am just sad I guess after last night. I even gave the hostess 20% of coupons to give to everyone if the came.
