Thanks!!!!!!!! I have actually thought about switching to 464...especially with the price increase!

I would not bother heating the containers. I know some say it works but with my experience it is not necessary with soy. I would just melt some wax in the microwave and pour a tester!

Exciting News! The Scent Works owners Tish & Mike will be attending the gathering! They will also be contributing samples, etc. http://store.scent-works.com/ The Gathering is definitley on! We are still open for attendees. I have planned on 12 for all the samples, etc. that suppliers are sending. UPDATE: Supplier samples & Door Prizes: Backwoods Flickers Bert's Heaven Scents FOH Candlescience A special thanks to all the suppliers who were so gracious to support our gathering! Gathering Date: Saturday April 26th 5:00pm Where: Meadow Village Restaurant 7400 Nc Highway 50 S, Benson, NC Tel: (919) 894-5430 Here is what I would like everyone to bring: Finished products(Candle/B& for each attendee. Once all have confirmed I will post the # so you will know how many of each product to bring. UPDATE: You only have to bring one item for each person attending. This is like a swap. Example: If there are 12 people attending you would bring 12 items only. Then each attendee would leave with 12 items each. Thought this would be a fun way for everyone to sample other's products. I have deleted bringing fragrance samples since we have had so many suppliers donate. I will provide bags for everyone to put their goodies in. I have contacted several other suppliers and once I have all the information on who is sending samples I will post. Red~ Confirmed 1. jakalex~Lisa 2. Marisa 3. Angel~Going2adopt 4.

The GB464 is very similar to CB135. I tested the 464 a while back. IMO you are pouring too hot. I had to pour the 464 at about the same temp as I do CB135....120 degrees or less. I pour just as the wax starts to cloud. Try this and see if it does not fix your problem! You should not need to do a re-pour with this wax.

I am hoping to keep it this date. Waiting to see how many people confirm they are attending.

Thanks everyone! This is a fun wax and it layers so nicely. I have found that it layers best if you let each layer cool completely before pouring the next.

I have pm'd everyone who posted they would be interested in attending. If I missed anyone please let me know!

The restaurant is right off I-40east. About 30 minutes from Raleigh. It is a place where we can get a long table and have plenty of room.

I will be right over! Lock your doors!

I just got some exciting news today! Connie from Backwoods is sending some fragrance samples to share at our NC gathering! :yay:

I will pm everyone after this weekend to let everyone get through the Easter Holiday. I am hoping we can get together in April.

Where can these be purchased?:undecided

I have tried all you listed but the JS and ICS (new version) is the best in CB135! Awesome throw and you can smell the cinnamon, bun & icing!

I have had good luck with some of the BCN FO'sI have tried. Twigs & Berries & Key Lime Pie are awesome! For Coconut, Daystar's Under the Palm Tree is the best. JMO

I love them both but if I had to choose a fav I guess it would be the Chocolate Milk.

Daystar's Fresh Lemon Slices (Serendipities) is awesome in CB135! I am very picky about lemon scents but this one is awesome! Great mixer also!
