  1. sorry, I used a square 8oz mason jar, I dont mean tunneling as in wax hang up, I mean hole pockets in the soy making the candle tunnel. I used a lx 26 and the ones that do not have the holes have a perfect burn with no hang up, no additives except a tiny bit of coconut oil.
  2. I have tried several on your list and find them super good, I have tried a couple from saveonscents and they were not as strong as FBD!! I have tried the falling in love, Amazing Grace and Light Blue by Dolce & Gabanna all were great! The falling in love is awesome!
  3. I am using ecosoya advance but no matter what temperature I pour at, I ether get bad wick tunneling upon test burn or a crack with a crater hole, but I guess that is wick tunneling too because its by the wick, so what am I doing wrong??
  4. Is there a dupe out there somewhere? I so love it and would love to find a dupe!
  5. I am just trying out ECosoya CB advanced, with 4 and 6 oz tins and was wondering where is a good starting point for lx wicks? Has anyone had any luck with them in this wax, as in a good scent throw? I have some 16 and 18 you think they will be too small a starting point? Should I just try another type of wick instead?
  6. Thank You!!! I have already placed my order for some!!! I have looked everywhere for it!
  7. I was wondering if there is a way to make home fragrance oils? Like they sell in the stores where you put a few drops in the burner, I thought I saw a recipe for it a while back but now not even sure I did or not! Is there a way to mix FO with something to make some and put in dropper bottles? TIA
  8. I have certain recipes that seem to do really well with scent throw in soap and others that seem to just not hold the scent, is it my imagination or can different oils I use in a recipe affect the scents of my soap?
  9. Okay to ship to someplace like Thialand, is a FDA certificate needed for each product? Like say I want to ship 100 soaps, does each type need a FDA certificate? I am trying to search the net for answers but not sure where to look! I have someone interested in a particular soap, they say they have to have the FDA certificate for themselves and also from me, and not sure where to look to find out exactly how to acquire this! Any help would be greatly appreciated :undecided I am at a loss as to where to start!
  10. I don't think I have ever shown any of my soaps but here is one that is just so pretty had to show it off, or at least I think its pretty! It is made with pineapple scented glycerin soaps and the scent is pineapple and coconut blended together 50/50. they glycerin soaps are shaped as pineapple slices and I cut some of them up and pitched them in the loaf too!
  11. I recently also just started discounting the water! I love it, I have read it cuts down shrinking and the cure time! I will never go back, its so much faster to get them cut and on the curing shelf! My soaps can be cut within 6 to 7 hours! I am in love with it, my soaps barely shrink at all! *super banana* If you do a search for discounting water on here you can find a ton of great information on it!
  12. LOL I was sitting there looking at it and it sold went to look one more time and it was gone!
  13. WOW! GREAT just one more thing for me to purchase! Hopefully someone has tried it and posts there results with it! Thanks
  14. I saw some at WSP, I wish it worked in CP soap
  15. anyone know where to find a true dupe? I love the original and would really love to find a good dupe to carry in my line!
  16. The batch turned out perfect, I took my new soap beveler and cut off the tops that looked funny and the soap is awesome! I also pushed the puff down some and just let it sit, next morning it was just fine, the top was real ugly but came off to show a lovely soap! Don.t think I will try it again though
  17. Try http://store.scent-works.com/amgrpty.html or I personally have just got this in for a custom order and its GREAT! Very good dupe! http://www.saveonscents.com/product_info.php?language=en&currency=USD&products_id=3362
  18. Thanks! Well I patted it down, so now we wait and see Don't think I will try that again! Hopefully it will just be a good soap and settle down! But it looks pretty good and smells even better! Now the worst part, I WAIT! Thank you so much for your help, I was freaking out, it looked like a cake baking!
  19. OHHH NO!!! Can it be saved, its a big puff ball now, I have a fan blowing on it now
  20. I used the same recipe I have used 100 times, but this time I chose to get full gel so I popped it into the over on 170, it has been in there for about 45 minutes and its puffed up, not a lot but enough to go about 1/4 inch above the fill lines! what I was wondering, is this normal? Will it go back? It never went to gel, it looked like the edges were going into trace and then now its just a puffin up
  21. This site says it will open in August but its now September, anyone have any updates with the company? I so want another one!!!!!!
