    Just add the 1ounce samples you want into the shopping cart. It will charge you full price but will be adjusted later. In the coupon code box put SAMP99 before confirming your order.:D I can not wait to get mine!

    Thanks for the sale message! Just had to place an order. Couldn't find cranberry crumble, but got lots of other great sounding ones including cowboy blues. Hey, I'm from Idaho. I have a pom-poo dog that would never let me dress her. She is the reigning queen and we are her loyal subjects. LOL. Thanks again...makes sampling affordable! Beth

    Cranberry Crumble is under their Primitive Scents. It took me a while to figure it out.

    oh dear, same with me! In fact I'm a retailer for scented candles (and in near future of my own candles!!) and quilting stuff - but guess what? I bought this fantastic machine two years ago and never did any sewing with it, because I don't have any time with this damned shop:angry2:.

    Anyway, I won't walk the road to ruin alone:laugh2:and let you know about any sale I know of!

    Have a nice time,

    Inez

    Thanks! That is all I need someone else enabling me!:laugh2:

    Thanks Inez for letting us know about this sale! I usually buy from BCN but I do want to try and get some "food" and holiday type scents so this is a great way for me to try some! Now to just try and eliminate some! I have 47 in my basket! Yikes!! LOL Thats not counting more wax that I need and some I want to try!! Lord help me, this surely is the most expensive "hobby" with business intentions I have ever done! And here I thought spending 2k for a sewing machine was crazy!! This tops it!! LOL

    But, since you twisted my arm to order some new scents, guess Ill have to! LOL

    God Bless,

    Lynn

    I know exactly how you feel Lynn. I also have one of those sewing/embroidery machines! I am into the sewing/embroidery and candles for a hobby....and I agree an expensive one at that!:laugh2:

    Newbie here!

    I know this is an old thread, but I have been trying to wick the 8oz sq. mason and it is giving me a fit! I was at Candle Science today and they told me to doublewick it diagonally corner to corner. We will see what happens. When I was trying to single wick it would either smoke, large flame, huge mushrooms or the flame would dance around like crazy! This one is a booger! BTW I use ecosoya CB135.:D

    I received my order today! Fast service! I was hoping I would get them today so I could pour a few. We are leaving for the beach tomorrow and Wanted them to cure while we are gone! Nana's apple butter is one that I poured at 1.5pp and man it is strong cold! I may have to go down on that one! :o

    Testing

    OK. I am using a wick testing method I read about here where you pour the jars wickless then insert your wick. If it does not work just yank it out and put another one in! It is great!

    I am testing the paper cored wicks today. So far so good! I am waiting on some cotton cores also. I think I am a cored wick kinda girl!:naughty:

    I like the Hemp but I do not think they get hot enough..and of course

    there is the fragrance mushroom they create!

    :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:

    I poured 4 JS scents today and will test those next week. Nana's Apple Butter is strong Cold, Caramel Apple, Cinnamon Cider and Vanilla Butter Crunch. I used 1.5ozpp. I can probably go down on The Apple butter! Will update later!

    Triple Scented

    they are probely using gb 444 like mc sales and has a fo load of 2oz.

    by old industry standards 1/2 oz of oil was used and now if you use 1.5oz you can say it's triple scented, so 2oz would be 4 times.

    i've smelled alot of supposed triple scented candles and if the truth be known they probely have not even used 1/2oz of oil.

    My point exactly. I think it is so deceiving what these companies are doing!:undecided

    I have read several threads about this. I was browsing through several candle sites today that I have bookmarked. On the Homepage of one in LARGE letters was this:

    We use 4 times the fragrance of industry standards.

    :laugh2:

    That must be one strong soy candle! I am assuming they are saying that they use 2ozpp!

    I have read alot of threads about what % of Fo to use..and I know it varies from supplier to supplier. Here are a few questions I have..I am using the cb135 soy wax:

    1. The FO sticky that lists FO's that throw in soy...are these at 1ozpp?

    2. What is your experience w/ Just Scents? 1oz.pp?

    3. I am also considering ordering from Millcreek. 1ozpp

    I know these can all vary...but just wanted to get an overall analysis...:undecided

    Candle Size

    in Vegetable Wax & Beeswax Candle Making

    There are 16 oz candles that can scent a 10x10 and then there are those that can scent 3 rooms or more. There is the 5 ounce that is suppose to be for the bathroom but some can do a 10x10 room also. So there is no exact size per room but there is what is called a acceptable size candle per room but I dont what it is. I suppose King (TOP) Of The Hill would know that answer? ;)

    Yea that is what I want.....acceptable size per room! You always have my back Candlewitch!:highfive: Thanks!

    I have looked at their scents long before I ever dreamed of making a candle! They just all sound so yummy! I want to order from NG also...but could not resist this sale! The testing is going good! I posted a test update on the vegetable/category. Let me know what you think????;)
