  1. lol, yeah blowing my kitchen sky high is probably best avoided
  2. thank you I have some from just scent. for christmas I did gift baskets w/ handmade bar soaps and lotions for my friends, but now I've got some of these oils around still, and I want to use them up instead of just letting them go to pot.
  3. hello everyone I found candle tech while doing a google search, and thought this would be a great place to ask some question. first of all, I have never made any kind of candles/tarts in my life, so I'm really a newbie but I would love to make some for my personal use, and maybe for friends and family, etc. I have no intention of selling them, I just want to use up the stock of fragrance oils I have on hand that I won't otherwise use. So...my questions... I want a really hard wax that will just pop right out of my burner when I'm done and it's cooled. I hate having to dig and scrape that stuff out, but being a newbie I have no idea what kind of wax to buy. pilar? votive? something different? I'm completely lost! I've seen "fragrance modifiers", which claim to allow you to add excess FO for stronger smell/longer burn. are these effective? worth investing in, or too much trouble for someone new? I have some "embed" molds that I've used for soap in the past, can I use these for wax too, or do I have to buy special ones? thanks!
