The stabilizer didn't work with mine. It turned dark brown anyway

it didn't?? i thought it did work for you?? what scent was it?

wow! i sell my 13oz (made in 16oz smoth jelly jars) for $10.50. i getting ready to introduce the 8oz jelly jars (holds 6oz of wax) for around $5.75.

THANK YOU! now just one more question...who's C&S?

very neat!

is that handle a "generic" thing that can be added to any jar (with the correct neck size)? do you mind if i ask where you got them?

He has been 'dipped' in hot, highly fragranced wax, then drained, then fluffed up and left to set hard.

These are room fragrancers and aren't to be lit

Anjie,x.

well, i'll be...never heard of such a thing! how do you fluff them?

cute!

what do yo mean by "dipped"?:embarasse

i have been playing with my first peaks FO's...(sugar cookie...mmmmm!) on the bottle it says to add fo right before pouring....all the reading i have done says that it's best to add FO at a warmer temp...i have been adding it at 170-175*...i do 100% soy and pour very slushy....this wold not work to add right before pouring, obviously....so those that use soy and peaks...do you add your FO when the wax is hot? thanks!

i tried to search to see if this has been discussed and didn't come up with much...so forgive me if this is repetitive...i saw a jar at walmart that i would love to try and make a candle with, but will need to have 2-3 wicks. my question is, how do you decide what sizes to start with? this is how i was thinking of starting....say the diameter is 5"... i was thinking i would use, say 2 wicks that would go into a jar that had a 2.5" diameter?? since i use ECO wicks, i would try two 6's as a starting point....is that even close to how you would figure what sizes to start with? sorry if this is a silly question of if my "formula" is goofy...:embarasse i appreciate your input...so thank you in advance!!

thank you, again, for all your kind words...

the more i use these new labels, the more i love them and the ease of them over the hang tags...

southernscents....so are you trying to print on precut labels? if so, have you ever considered just printing on a full sheet and cutting them? it has saved me so many headaches, plus i can make any sized/shape label i need no matter what my container may be...i am not limited to only what i can buy as a precut label and i know my label will fit the container as i made it just for the container...kwim? good luck in your change over of labels and home decor.

thank you for your relies.

KK...i will try making one with less fo...i just always fear poor hot thro due to not enough FO...

i love soy wax in lotion...just sub some of your oil or water for 1-5% soy wax.

thank you!! nope, no foil back...they are vinyl waterproof labels.

so i burned my candle made with the oive oil wax from Swan Candles....the first burn was good with a nice melt pool...but now, everytime i light it, it smokes terribly...even right away when i light it...the wick is not too long. i used the normal frag load that i do with my soy (1.5oz ppw, this amount does not smoke in my soy). does the smoke mean the wick is too big or what? if that's the case, why didn't smoke on the first burn? i'm using an ECO wick. thanks for any input!

i have been loving the flavor oils from www.lipbalmtubes.com

i just emailed henry...

Olive Oil Container Candle Wax

Accu-Blend Olive Oil Container Blend MP128 made of all natural organic virgin Olive Oil & other quality ingredients

from their description...sorry, my bad...i wonder what the % of OO is....

from this thread....look back at the first page

this wax made from olive oil....so it's all olive oil...

just put the FO in.

thanks to this enabling post.. i *just weighed out some olive oil wax for a candle...can't wait to see what it does...i am lanning on starting with wicking it the same as my ezsoy candles.

try lavender eo and tto in emu or shea

hi, flicker...thanks for the input...the one time i used soy wax, it was the only thing i had changed in my recipe...i don't use shea on a regular basis...or at all in lip balm, for that matter....you know how in a candle if soy is added too hot to the jar it sets up funny? that's what it seemed like the soy n the lip balm was doing....kwim? if you don't add the shea to the rest till it's starting to set up, how doyou get it in the itty bitty tubes? i am going to alter it a bit (as it's a sickness in me to NOT be able to leave a recipe as is...<blush>) thanks for your help!

i'd like to try (with my own tweaks) this recipe, but the one time i tried using soy wax in a lip balm it set up all grainy....how do you prevent this from happening?

i have only ever used EZsoy from BCN...if poured cool enough, you'll get ceramy candles every time....at least that has been the case for me.

is it worth it do remelt it to the higher temp?
