  1. I also posted this as a reply on the soapmaking forum. Wanted to see if any candlemakers were interested. We are also in NYC - Westchester County. If anybody wants to start a soapmaking and/or candle making group for us New Yawkers, then please post the info here. Not sure where we could meet for it though. Maybe the New York Public Library in Manhattan just to start and then figure out something from there. Bob and DonnaMarie

  3. Show is called "How It's Made". Just saw the episode where they showed how votives, tapers and pillars are made by one of the big companies. They didn't clarify which company. Kind of interesting. If anybody is interested check local listings, it might be on again.
  4. Very nice. They also have the loaf pans at Christmas Tree Shoppe for a buck. I have stocked up on them because my Halloween and Thanksgiving ones were a big hit. So many different designs. These are going to be my best seller this year. Question: I'm assuming that these are the 9oz pans? If they are, are you triple wicking and how much are you selling them for? I am finding that I have to triple wick these. Bob and DonnaMarie
  5. Can anybody help me out with a dupe for YC Holiday Sage?
  6. AC Moore's and Michaels also have these for $1.00 a piece. I just made an order of 12 with a Happy Halloween on the outside of the container. Pumpkin Bread fragrance. Will post a picture tomorrow. Bob and DonnaMarie
  7. You are right. The scents that I have from Peak are bath and body safe, (ex. apple blossom, lavender). I am going to go this route instead of the kit. Food coloring, scents, and I already have candle molds I can use for soap or like other members said, use a lined shoebox. I figure I can save about $30.00. Thanks for the input angel, doris and scented. Bob and DonnaMarie
  8. I just went to Peaks and did the same thing. Without the colorants which would add another $30.00 for 4 different ones like the kit (although they would not be sending 1oz of each), the shipping is $10.41, saving myself about $9.00 or so. How did the food coloring experiment go? I would try the same thing if yours was somewhat decent. Another question, I have Peak liquid dyes for candles. If I just use a couple of drops just for swirling, would that be bad? I would only try the soaps on myself or my wife and not anybody else. P.S. I need some Peak FO's for candles so my order would incorporate these as well. Kill two birds with one stone is another way of looking at it. Thanks, Bob and DonnaMarie
  9. Hello all, Thinking about branching out into the soapmaking arena sometime next year. I came across the deluxe M&P kit on Cierra Candles. It seems to me to be a good way to get my feet wet at $31.00 plus shipping (which it looks like to be around $20.00). Hmm, maybe not such a good deal. Damn shipping. 1 lb. of MP Soap Base, Clear 1 lb. of MP Soap Base, White 1 lb. of MP Soap Base, Oatmeal 1 lb. of MP Soap Base, Aloe Vera 1 pkg. of 4 Color Nuggets, mixed colors 1 Soap Mold, 4-in-1 Geometric 6 ea. 1 oz. Soap-safe Fragrance Oils What do y'all think. Thanks, Bob and DonnaMarie
  10. I wanted to try the C-3, so I checked the boards and found out that Fillmore carried it. Their website says that they will send a 5lb free sample and you would only have to pay shipping, which turns out to be around $6.50. Pretty good deal I thought. Thanks, Bob and DonnaMarie Jack B. Nimble & Quick Candle Co.
  11. Brydean, I am also in NY. Where abouts are you? Since I am also looking for insurance please let me know if you can what is the name of the insurance company. You can pm me if you don't want to give it out on the boards. Thanks, Bob and DonnaMarie
  12. Hello all, Just wondering if anybody has signed up for this policy and how are things going with it. Are you finding that it pretty much covers all your insurance needs for you business? Bob and DonnaMarie
  13. I'm curious. Has anybody actually tried their wax. Is it possible that it might actually be good, or has anybody actually asked them where they are getting their wax? I can't believe that they own a manufacturing plant somewhere making their own. Is it a private label being made by one of the biggies? Maybe it is just a blending of different types of soy waxes that we all use. I have been curious about this for awhile. Bob and DonnaMarie
