Exciting News!
The Scent Works owners Tish & Mike will be attending the gathering! They will also be contributing samples, etc.
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.

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.

TheScentWorks owners Tish & Mike will be attending the gathering! They will also be contributing samples, etc.
Here is the thread if you would like to attend:

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!
-
I would love to come but need to google where in the world Benson NC is. I am way out in Davidson, NC. If it's not too far I may be interested in joining the group.
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.

Kaluha
Irish Cream (Bailey's)
Appletini
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!
-
Go AHEAD with your palm wax self, jakalex!!:yay:
Those look great!! :DI suspect you may be having more fun than is legal in most states!!
You know it!
Lock your doors!

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!
