Mine looks alot like the bottom picture already. Did I do something wrong. I haven't seen any separation at all either?

Mine is officially a glob of goo?

Mine's really frothy/bubbly. Am I stick blending too much or does it matter. I had the water heated up already so I shouldn't be too far behind lol.

I am but should I have the pot on the double boiler

Oils are in the pot but I have to do the double boiler method. Hope that's OK

KOH ready to go!

I just put it in the comments when I check out

The only picture I can find is Soap in the city's avatar. I hope she doesn't mind me mentioning it .

It's soap that looks like a cream pie that you sell by the slice. Tooo cute!

What's this pie soap stuff?

ETA: I messed up Scented's quote

I voted for CPOP but I really want them all lol. Is there anyone that would be willing to teach a class on soap pies? I think they're awesome but have no idea where to start :rolleyes2

Thanks,

This is my favorite thread so I thought I would start it. Should have started it yesterday but my eyes were crossed from looking for the golden egg lol.

I have been pouring tarts since 9:00 this morning. I gave my scent list to one of my Dad's friends and he ordered 1 of everything on my list .

I've poured 344 so far (24 per scent + 8 extra honeysuckle) and still have a few to do.

That's one way to make me get in gear haha.

Hope everyone has a great Easter!!!!

The instructions on her site said that the potassium carbonate is just used to make stirring easier.

HTH,

Kim

Well I bought it anyway just to be on the safe since I have never made LS. This is going to be fun!!!

I was just wondering if anyone had experience with this seller. I ordered a TOG mold Feb. 13th and still haven't heard anything about my order. I tried to e-mail him through Etsy on March 5:(th to see when it would ship but he has never responded.

I paid through paypal and I don't want to go past my dispute time limit but I don't want to be pushy either.

Definately don't cancel your upcoming shows. I've seen your work in the gallery and all of your candles are beautiful! Just chalk it up to experience and start getting ready for your future shows.

They really are beautiful candles!!!

On the "blistering", Could it be fingernailing you're getting? I know alot of people were having trouble with it at one time. I had it too but only with one kind of wax. I placed a link below of one incident on the board. Since the candle is red, you can see it really well.

Everything looks just beautiful!!! Congratulations on your new site

I know Robin usually starts this post but she hasn't been on in a couple of days so I'm hoping she's out celebrating her new job....YEAH ROBIN .

I love this post and look forward to reading it every week so I thought I would post it this week :smiley2: .

My goal for this year is to build up my tart stock so I finally got my molds in and am ready to start. I'm going to pour 216 tonight, shrinkwrap and label them tomorrow and pour 216 more. Yeah!!!

What's everyone else got going...

Nature's Garden has quite a few Downey and Gain Duplicates(Laundry Softener & detergent brand names). They had to change the names though so the only way to know if it's a dupe is to see if it has a "Proctor & Gamble" disclaimer in the description.

Indiana Candle Supply also has a great dupe of April Fresh Downey

Thanks so much for the responses...mizbizzyb, I Pm'd you.

Thanks again, looks like Peaks wins

Just wondering who has the best Blackberry sage. I've had some from ICS but it didn't seem very strong in wax. It was a very nice scent though. Is this just maybe a lighter scent or should I try a different one

WYW at BCN has a great Bamboo...

I checked the dpswax website and Mimosa is not listed. However, you can email here info@dpswax.com and ask if they have any in stock. I know that this is where Nu-Scents gets their products because I have been there when they have done pickups. Perhaps DPS has some that is not listed on the website. Might not hurt to ask.

I hope you find what you are looking for. Questing is tough.

Just wanted to thank you again and let you know that DPS has ordered a sample of the fragrance for me from their supplier!!! I'll let you know how it turns out.

Thanks again,

Kim

What about Mirage

Thank you sooo much! I will e-mail them now. I just can't believe it's this hard to find Mimosa

Thanks everyone for the warnings. I guess my quest for a straight Mimosa continues .

If anyone runs across it will you post it please...I've looked everywhere!

I think you are right Deb. I haven't tried theirs either though .

I really need a straight Mimosa so I hope they've straightened up with their Customer Service beacuse I haven't found it anywhere else
