Hello Anji, you could try here David is really helpful on the phone he is very very good at his work and is very helpful, here is his site, http://www.candlemakers.co.uk/cmproduct/candlewaxes.html As for embeds i used to use plastic when i did gel candles, i got mines from a shop called au naturale, they had all kinds of plastic little goodies, hope that helps you hunni.

Thank you Crafty, yes i thik i stick with that, think ppl like it to be smooth and creamy and fluffy instead of brick hard. Cxx
-

How do i make a lotion bar?? i have not got anything for lip balm like bees wax or anything, but would love to make something with the mango butter?? Cxx
-
Thank you girls,. dont know if we can get shea oil here, never heard of it over here. I would love it to be pure shea, but i am worried about the texture of it, the feel of it, it will go brick hard, and i prefer soft, so even if i add a tiny amount of oil, will that help soften it? Cxx
-
Great thank you my dear, think i will just stick with my recipe i have with apricot kernel oil, as i want a nice fluffy shea lol.
-
I have mango butter ehre not a clue what to do with it, also unrefiend shea butter and cocoa butter deodorising type??
-
Thank you, so why do ppl use an oil with their whipped shea?? Cxx
-
I want to make unrefined shea as natural as possible, so can i just whip up unrefined shea on its own, or do you really need a carrier oil?? For the fluffyness??
-
Yes sorry my dear, bath melts, i cant find them here?:embarasse
-
Ok think i will keep it for myself and try again, this time, i will melt it all the way down and pour over the mango butter, thank y ou my dear.
-
No Crystala, i always got told not to melt it right down if i am whipping, just make it soft. Can i get rid of this or am i stuck with it now?? Can this be used? Or have i just wasted some
-
I wanted to play tonight with what i had here, so i got 3oz of unrefined shea, 3oz of mango butter and i put in 20 spoons of apricot kernel oil, coloured it pink and scented it strawberry, this comes from a body butter my daughter got, which is pink and lovely and fluffy. Thing is i tried some on my arm its a tiny tad grainy, due to the mango butter, so what could i call this and use this for, it also leaves a soft sheen to y our skin, so i reckon it will look good on a tan? What can i call this??
-
Aww that is nice.
-
Someone sent me a link to a recipe for bath truffles and it had a picture of them wrapped up in coloured foil, i have lost this link, i would be so happy if someone can send me this link again, i promise to keep in saved this time? Chris xx

Thank you topofmurrayhill, will get some vybar in then, and see how i go with that, i have made candles before but i have never made votives before and for such a small candle what a lot of work lol. No Scented, i popped in the pins before i poured in the wax, just a tiny amount around the base, but if i push on a hard surface they come out ok, i tried and tested one last night, it was ok, until more than halfway down, it started to smoke, the flame was quite high and smoking i cut the wick to 1/4 inch before i lit it, i then lit it, then bleew it out, then lit it again, still smoked.
-
Thank you topofmurrayhill, much appreciated, i have managed to get pins out, i just push down like Demenshia mentioned, i can get my wick in aswell. so the fo seepage, what causes this?? Too much fo??? the mottling, you think if i bought vybar this would stop it?? Is this why i have this?? Other than that, i burnt one of them and they were fine, started to smoke halfway down, so i need to sort that out also. Am off to bed, speak soon and thank you again my dear. Chris xxxx
-
No matter, i have sussed out the pins and wicks, now all i need is to play about until i get rid of air bubbles and top up right next time.
-
Is that all you add to your base, no oils just these 3 with fo??
-
Ok heres some pics, first one why are they not shiny, have bubbles and blisters? how am i going to get the wick inside this#?? :cry2:
