If you use calking, be sure to get 100% silicone. GE has one.

Never seen white wash lids, but they are pretty. Lucky Lady...
-
When I attach a wood wick clip, I use clear calking. First put on bottom of clip and place with the wood wick. It will hold both in place so the melted wax won't melt and move it. I'm sure Permatex will work the same way. I've had Hot glue come loose when I poured hot wax into jar...

No it doesn't work well with paraffin. I have melted a paraffin blended with soy but by itself paraffin just doesn't melt.

Butterscotch Brulee, Buttercream, candy corn, maple nut crunch, wild honeysuckle.

Allen so nice to see you...

Can't you see it when your wax is melted? My wax is clear when melted and I can see stuff in it. Most times it settles to the bottom of my melting pot.

Are these the beverage pitchers that have the brightly colored lids?
Yes, I also have one for iced tea. This year the lids are orange, green and I think dark Pink. They have up to $1.29 in my area.
Also forgot to say I use soy wax, Paraffin doesn't work well in the micro, although I have melted small amounts. I put a label on the outside with scent name and what FO I use along with color and how many drops I use per pitcher.
I'm not that concerned about keeping the wax at a certain temp. If it gets too cool I put back in micro for a few seconds or minutes more. Guess I should not have answered since this is technically the paraffin section.Can you explain more of your method? How are you keeping temperatures at the level they should be? I use aluminum pour pots set over in a Fry Daddy full of water, but I'm open to other ideas. (Should I start another thread for this since it's not exactly in keeping wit the original question in this one?) -
I have a different pour pot for each scent, I carry over 100. Each pitcher holds 4 lbs of wax, I use plastic and reheat in the Microwave. Been doing this for 12 years and some are that old. I have found the ones from Walmart are perfect they cost about $1.00 each have a 5 inside a triangle, on the bottom, so it can be heated and is micro safe. Noticed this year the are smaller only about 31/2 lbs.

I get Emeraude from them, a scent from Coty. Love it. Now to check and see if they have Muguet Des Boi, can't find it at all anywhere.

I have a bottle of this from B&BW's but its way too strong. What would be good to dilute it? TIA

Every box of 402-415-444-464 are all made at the same plant. Golden Food/Golden Brands in Louisville, KY. If you haven't had frosting in 6 years then you are very lucky. I have been using their wax for 12 years and have pulled my hair out over frosting and leaking issues so many times I can't count. I have added Bees Wax, Paraffin, Palm Steric, CO, USA additive and who knows what else. With every different batch, the weather, temp of the room etc, I have had different result. Most times with candles I can put the jar with wax in it and remelt in the microwave, let sit and it will turn out beautiful. But who could do that every time. Some times I'll pour hot and have a fan cooling in a very cold room. Others I'll pour cooler and they are great. But one things for sure, nothing works all the time. It's probable the batch of wax and nothing you have done wrong....

What a clever name, perfect for make-up, font and all. I love the MM color too.

$20,000 when I was looking. And it doesn't heat the wax, just keeps it at a certain temp, once melted. But it is cool.
-
1/2 distilled water and 1/2 91% Isopropyl alcohol with your EO oils. Never had a problem with it going bad. I'd use witch hazel but hate the smell so much.
-
10 years ago it was only, no, you tell me what you think and no posting if you all ready know.
-
I almost always poke, one hole next to wick, with the end of a dowel, then fill with wax. If I pour at the slush stage I don't poke.
-
Pumpkin patchouli? I can't even imagine what that would smell like, lol. Where's it from?
Pumpkin Patchouli, I blended Pumpkin Pie Spice and Patchouli 1/2 & 1/2 and loved it, smells clean. And I hate Patchouli.
-
I have never had a scent linger, not in a homemade soap. Since I don't like anything with Patchouli or Musk, that might be the reason. But the stinking body gel for men last forever. And so does the "yuck" fabric softners. Saw a bottle of stuff "to make Fabric Softener scent last longer on your cloths" what could that be?

Uh-oh, I was just on Facebook and saw this warning about Pinterest going through my news feed: http://www.knoed.com/thewindowseat/pinterest-change-your-terms-or-were-leaving/
As far as Pinterest goes, what is she complaining about. I can't comprehend the whole Pinterest’s Terms & Conditions.

Do the Status jars have the flat glass lid included?

Natural Vanilla Bean
in Melt & Pour
Posted
Don't know, never tried it in soap. Put one in a bottle of mineral oil several years ago and it never did give off any smell. I know if you put a whole bean in Vodka for months it's used for cooking. Maybe simmer in and then let sit, an oil you would use for soap making, then add that to your M&P. Vanilla beans are expensive and I think it would take a lot to give off a nice scent. JMO
