Hi OFCILynn, When you say "true test," do you mean melt pool or wick testing as well as throw or just throw? I was just wondering this today whether if I do a test burn after say 5 hours or 12 hours if it makes any difference in determining the timing of the melt pool. TIA!

Thanks Anita, wish you could too!

Wish you guys were going, but will definitely report after.

Hi, Just checking to see who all's going? I want to be sure to meet everyone (unlike the Tx Candlemaker's Conference where I apparently had my head in the sand ). Hope to see you there! Rachel

Wish I could blame my similar problem on the heat--It's been over 100 for a week or so. However, I think I know what I did to cause zero to vaseline acceleration..... I accidentally put my oxide-in-glycerin colorant into the oils instead of into the lye water like I usually do. Don't really understand why this would make it happen, but it's the only thing I did different. Once again wishing I'd paid better attention in Chemistry! Then I think I blended too long to try to make sure it dispersed evenly and next thing I knew...vaseline consistency. :embarasse @##@!?!? Haven't cut it yet, but afraid I'm gonna have bubbles too.

Yep that was me next to Joyce--Real name is Rachel. I didn't read CT before the conference to know you were all hanging out at Comfort. Will know better next time! We ended up at Hampton and had a good time, but sounds like you guys had crazy fun.

I've been really happy with Media Temple. http://www.mediatemple.net/services/webhosting/ I'm not extremely tech savvy so I've been happy to find them pretty patient and helpful on the phone. HTH! GS

OK, clearly I must get to work posting as I don't think I like being called a wax drip! That's a new one..... Kudos to JT for an even better conference than 2004. Had so much fun, learned a lot and went home inspired! Can't wait for next year already.

Count me in too!! Crap Bunny, wish I'd introduced myself instead of admiring from afar! Next time we'll definitely hang out. Loved your demos, especially when you let your hair down to show us the serum
