  2. Spring Flower from Daystar ? ...I ordered it because I saw that it was a dupe of a perfume called ' Creed' ......My daughter who is almost 6 is named Creed !!!! So I thought Id order a sample ( I did) and make her special Creed candles !! ...I just hope it smells good !! Thanks Deana
  3. Enchanted Lites www.enchanted-lites.com ..Love their millenium blend wax and Chai Latte FO !!
  4. Does anyone know the approx burn time of 70/30 ? Ive made some candles and havent been able to really sit down and do a burn test on them BUT they do seem to burn down alot faster than just the soy. Ive done some 4 oz and 8 oz tins and I love they way they look, smell, everything , but just not able to guess the burn time . Thanks so much for any info !
  5. I like it but am just wondering if its just me or should the front be centered there ? I mean where you have all the writing under your heading. Just looks odd to be but it looks clean and inviting.
  6. Georgia I have a candle warmer thats 17w that I always have a tin on. I too was wondering how hot it was so I took the temp and it read 165 and stayed there. I think 24w would be WAY too hot !! edited to add more info
  7. Thank you for your reply! Have a nice evening
  8. Thank you for replying . All I was trying to get was opinion whether these would work as the GM at the supplier sent me a sample of stuff that will work and that will be here tomorrow. The woman sent me some as a ' opps wrong sizes' for her misjudgment that are samples as well. But before I try them I was wanting to see if anyone thought they would work in a 4 oz tin before I went thru the process. Thats all. She ( the supplier woman) did it as a nice gesture and asked someone else in the shop about these new ones she sent that I got today. ..The ones from the GM will be here 2morrow...From the stuff I was reading before about the wicks I had picked myself the first order, and the wicks the woman picked, to me looked like they would work ..they didnt . So I ask opinions .....Oh well....No biggie !!...and thanx for the link! Thanx for replying, tho !
  9. Uhh..NO..I ask suggestions as I dont know and am here to learn. I wouldnt even know where to begin without asking. The first I picked on my own were even worse than the last 2 I had. But the web address is appreciated. Have a nice day !!
  10. Good afternoon everyone !! I just got some replacement wick samples from my supplier and want to check with the experts here first to make sure theyll work. They are replacements from my supplier and sent not from my hero there that I love doing business with but an associate there.. She was the one that I had ordered from last time that suggested the wrong size wicks and I had ordered 100 of each size that she said would work that didnt , they were too small. So thats what led me to the main person who is fantastic there ...but back to my question....So the woman that I had ordered from the first time and had suggested the wrong size, sent me some samples of HTP 104 and some that say FT 1,2.....she knows that I have only 4 oz tins and thats it. I hate to doubt her but I got the wrong size from her last time based on her suggestion. So before I venture into this here in a bit, I wanna make for sure that these sizes will work with a 4 oz tin. .... thanks !
  11. Thank you for the great ideas, everyone ! Ill update when I get brave and reopen the 1 lb bottle and mix a little , hopefully, magic into it. ....ps Angela..too funny ! edited for bad spelling in thread !

The description of it looked really pretty interesting AND ( kicker) it was 'on sale' ...Now I know why !!...they know they screwed up by getting this nose hair , eye brow burning rancid ODOR...has anyone had the unfortunate task of taking a whiff of this ? If so is there ANY way to salvage it just a tad ??? It might be beyond repair ! but thanx for trying , if ya can !!

  15. They laughed at you ? ..thats not good !! ...I know you were being facetious, but MAN that sux !...I too had been wondering about the insurance thing . Does anyone know if you can add it to your homeowners ? Or what it cost ? So did the insurance people give you any input ..positive input ?..What I mean is what did they say to you ? Or maybe Im being too personal ..? Just want to try to arm myself for when I go looking ! yakoke ! Deana CedarRain

  17. I appreciate the replies again !!.. and Hope, I do have digital scales...... Ill be looking for the slush the next time, hopefully tinite !...Candle Makin Mom..dumb question here and probably self explanitory and Im meissing it, but what do you mean by, "Then let it sit over night to test the wick "..how do you test it ?..Im not being a wise acre !!...KayBee ...what an embossing tool ? And I tried looking at walmart site to price a heatgun, because I see so many of yall use them but their site is a little funk and when I typed in heatgun or heat gun it took me to CDs...do you know a price range on those ?....Crystal , whats your web address ??...and Vicki...Im calling Bruce here in a minute to request the sizes ... Again thanx so much
  18. Yall did so great at giving me ideas and info that I have another I hope you can answer....Ok.....so after the candle are poured and all, some people say they should sit 24 hrs, 48 hrs, 5 days...from what Im reading on here and most other places , 24 hrs is pretty popular of an amount of time til you can burn a candle... BUT how long til you can use a candle warmer ? ...Do you still need to wait the alloted amount of time as burning a candle ? ..I get pretty anxious. Ive only waited a couple of hrs and burned. Ive done a couple without a wick so I can just use my burner but they dont sit that long either. Im terribly impatient and thats not good, I know. Next batch ( hopefully tomorrow nite IF the promised wicks from Enchanted Lites make it ....fingers crossed tightly!!!.....)Ill wait longer.. thanx for your reply(ies) Deana CedarRain
  19. I mosy-ied on reading the board and saw that yall wrote !.. Heres some of the answers to stuff yall asked..First this is my husbands little measurements figuring...and scent flavor playing : on all of the they are 7 7/8 wax then like 3/8 one flavor with 1/4 something else..........or 3/8 and 1/8 ...or just whatever. but the wax always is the same......and the tins are the standard lidded tins........ On the adding fragrance...I read several places that 180 was a great temp to add. And here is 165 or so......he was pretty much adding at 170 or so.......also he was ad libbing off the sheet that came with the supplies from Enchanted Lites.... I was reading a little debate over whether the lid is better on after the candle is poured. What was the popular vote on that ? Is there a list anywhere that shows what fragrances are best to work with ...Like I read somewhere sometime that cinnamon is harder to get a throw from or something like that...maybe Im hallucinating ..??!!...maybe its late and I should be in bed ??!!...heheh Thank you for all you alls help !
  20. Hi yall ! Im new here and new with candle fun. I got my first soy and goodies from Candle Science then found that Enchanted Lites was way cheaper so got the next batch of goodies from them ..Im playing with 4 oz tins only at this time. Very much trial and ERROR !..Ive gotten 3 types of wicks and none seem to work, or Im doing something terribly wrong !..Ive got Ecoasoya CB with HTP 41 from Candle Science...the wicks had hardly any flame. ..Next I got 2 types of sample wax from Enchanted Lites and 2 types of wicks: Millennium container soy and just soy wax..the wicks are 44-28-18P and HTP 73. ..They drown....The first batch I did ( 3 at a time) they were really smooth and pretty and no flame so to speak..that was the Candle Science stuff. The Millennium wax had all sorts of weird looking bubbly looking texture.But when I put them on the candle warmer, theyll smooth right out and when they cool from the warmer, they look pretty good. ..They smell pretty good from the warmer. I just figured they would be stronger. ..And Ive played with the scents. Now mind you I can only get a good smell from the warmer because of wick problems.. The best smell Ive gotten in Chai Latte ( YUMMMMMMY) from Enchanted Lites..I got Sugar Cookie, Pumpkin Pie and Cinnamon Buns from Candle Science and the Chai Latte, Fresh Mowed Grass, Chocolate, Orange Spice, Fruit Smoothie , and French Vanilla......are these trouble maker scents ? I mean are they hard to work with ? ............what do yall think Im doing wrong here ?....Enchanted Lites said they would send me sample wicks for free because the lady helped me over the phone choose the wicks and I assume she was wrong.....I thought that was great customer service to do this for me ..!..Dont know what they sent..should be here tomorrow. Sorry this is SO long ! I hope yall have some suggestions !! And really a great board here !......
