Bringing back up cause it seems like they are coming out with more liquid gel. Check this info out... maybe I bought the wrong Carbomer.

I think they use Carbomer and FO.

the site will not let me go to different links. So check out Simmering Lights then go to: Shades Electric Base w/ Frosted Line

Matt Black would be beautiful! I'm doing a gorgeous shade of metallic copper.

Love all the ideal with the lids. Copper sounds nice.. Also love the silver that they are. Kyme what a great job, would steal in a minute if it wasn't so much time. Plus don't know how to do the burlap or the tag or crystal and where did you get those Keys. Was that a zipper??? NICE

Bring this back up to see if anyone has bought some warmers from Harmony? Also have you seen the simmer warmers from Pink Zebra, they're different.

How can it be worth it, to work at making tarts if you aren't making any money. If you have a great tart then they will pay more. You probably wouldn't pay more so don't think others will.

Look pretty...Did you get the fuzzy wool that hasn't been made into yarn? I have seen some on ebay. Wonder who would sell locally although love to get a pack with a mix of colors.

My Butt Naked is all fruit.

'cause I'm not sure if I should be happy or disappointed?

I do not believe that you don't know if you are doing well or not.

You have to have a shop owner that loves your product and will promote it. Maybe ask her to burn a candle or give her a tart warmer to melt your tarts in. . Consignment shops are great places and they need the scent to help with the musty scent they sometime have. Ask them to sell warmers, give them the names of companies that sell warmers. Irvins punched tin. Jackel etc. Tell them they can sell more tarts if they sell the warmers.

The reg black lids have white and are shinny. Not a prim look. The heavy metal type are so nice but cost more. If she can get them then maybe sell with gold and let her replace them. They just cost so much but look so nice.

Craigslist sounds like a good deal for you, hope it works and good luck.

For a short term use of the plastic. Store ground corn cobs or aroma beads in the empty bottle. It absorbs the last of the oils and you don't need any other jars. Also have poured the body and room spray base in the empty bottles to use the last of the scent. I have a couple of scents I can't get anymore that I have added the base to.

You have to be wrong. I HAVE MADE CANDLES AND TARTS FROM ALL THE COMPANIES YOU LISTED AND HAVE USED THE WAXes. They are wonderful. Maybe you didn't like the scent to begin with. All can't stink. What scents are you making that you want to smell like B&BW & Yankee. What scent at what % and from who, go ahead and name it.....

PS

Sorry about the caps but cap lock was on and I am too lazy to go back and retype. Although this is just as much typing...:undecided

But what does the sugar do?

That sounds very complicated. I can understand the layering and heat gun. But the sideways tilt looks impossible without the colors getting mixed. I'm going to retire from wholesale candle making soon so maybe I can play around with the 50 lbs of Glow wax I've had for-ever...

I thought using soy crayons would work. But it didn't, could see the color in the wick as it burned. With a very tiny flame I might add. Now tarts would work.

How do you do that with Palm wax? Since every thing needs to be either hot or kept warm. Your candle is beautiful...

I have a friend that is a very good knitter. She made a couple of gorgeous purses by knitting them with wool yarn and then felting them somehow. All I saw was the results and they were both really nice. You could not see the knitted stitches at all just solid heavy felt. Could this be done with soap? Would it be really hard? Not much of a knitter so I don't know.

I make them. I use Merino Wool. It is anti-bacterial. It never gets dirty. It suds the minute water hits it. It is great for people who have a hard time holding on to slippery soap. It lasts a very long time. The wool shrinks as the soap shrinks. They are not fast sellers as they are so different. People who buy them, like them however.

Is this a fabric? or the wool threads/fuzz? Also wondered how thick you make the wool. I noticed on mine some places were pretty thin. Would like to buy a bar of your felted soap to see what it should look like and suds.

Actually TKB Trading carries colors that match the discontinued POP colors. They have a huge variety of colors and in a variety of mediums for CP; mica powders, oil based, LAKE colors. Even ones for M&P; glycerin based, micas, FDA liquid dyes. Plus they even carry colors for lipstick and lipbalms, makeup, eye shadow, bath bombs, lotions, bath salts, body creams and butters, etc. I really like their prices and huge selection compared to other suppliers.

Good to know they got a bunch of colors back. Purple mica would work in CP and not discolor it's just different. Maybe swirling with purple mica would be better.

It just feels kind of scratchy. I made a couple of bars and I think I might have liked them if I had made a really sudsy soap and a larger bar. As it was I could hardly get any good suds so I have one in a drawer so I can see that I did make one.

Not much, I use RE/AH and the most is 8 dr per lb for a darker color. It comes in 1oz size and has hundreds of drops in a bottle. I would start with 1 drop brown in 1 lb of wax and see what the cooled color is. Just brown might be enough. They may even sell amber. http://rusticescentuals.com/Candle-Dye-Liquid/

Bet it does smell good. Good way to make the lids that are 2 piece look good. Nice.

Paraffin last forever, almost. I made candles with paraffin over 12 years ago. They still look and smell good, votives and jar candles plus some gel, all are fine. Still have wax I haven't used in all this time. Remember Luma ? wax from WSP?

That is very good. How did you get it to stick so good? And love what you did with the lid, good ideal.
