Good luck and let us know how it goes!:highfive:

You need to test each formula because FO's are all different and will change the way your candle burns. HTH, Kim

Thanks so much for th reply. I have tested a CD 8 and, actually, thought it was going to work but, when I lit it again, it smoked like crazy!

I am going crazy trying to wick my containers . Can anyone at least point me in the right direction. I'm using 4630 with 1oz/pp FO and a 3" dia. container. I have one drop of liquid dye/8oz. Right now the zincs are winning but I was wondering if this is the ONLY wick that works or if someone has had success with a different type. Thank you SOOO much in advance, Kim

I know I asked this before but now I can't remember..Is it June 24th or July 24th. The home page says June but the general info tab says July :undecided

Yeah!!! My favorite thread . I'll be working on my swap items all weekend for the Bitter Creek convention next week (nothing like waiting til the last minute). I can't wait! Hope everyone has a great holiday!

Robin asked if someone could post this thread while she is gone. Sorry this is late :rolleyes2 . I'm still testing my 4630 wax after almost a year of testing J223 and giving up on it. Things seem to be going pretty well. I am very happy with the Tibetan Amber from NG and I could eat the CS banana nut bread. I've been testing it at work and everyone that walks by wonders where the food is at . I hope everyone has a good weekend and good luck to everyone with shows!

Well Robin I'm glad everythings OK. Sounds like you need a vacation. I don't usually post to the "Whats in your pot this weekend" threads because all i'm ever doing is testing!:rolleyes2 But I love to read them. This weekend I am pouring my final (hopefully) test candles for CS Banana Nut Bread and NG Tibetan Amber. I think I finally have these worked out.

This is week 2 without a "what's in your pot this weekend thread". I look forward to reading those every week. I hope everything's OK.

Thanks everyone for all the feedback. I really appreciate it :highfive: . It still smells fishy but at least I know theres still hope!

I wanted to post a picture so you could see it. I had someone ask me if it was ricing but I didn't notice anything strange when I poured it. Is this something you would see before or after your pour.

Thanks you for all of your replies. I really appreciate the help. Carebear...It IS a fishy smell! I hope it goes away. It's been around 28 hrs since I poured it. How long does it usually take? Doris...I don't think the oils are bad because I just bought them but I've never bought oils before so if they came that way I wouldn't know. They don't have a "bad" smell in the bottle. Candlespa LOL...Not making it right is probably what happened but I hope not . Meredith...I don't know if it morphed or not, it's my first but I can still smell the FO separate from the fishy smell so I hope that's a good sign. I added 1oz/pp of FO and the oils were Palm/coconut/apricot kernal/castor Thanks again everyone!!!

So it is normal to have this strange smell to it or did I do something wrong?

OK..I made my first CP soap today and I think it smells strange (I used candlescience honeydew melon). I can smell the FO but I can also smell what the oil/lye mixture smelled like before the FO was added. I hope that made sense.

I have the Carmelized Pralines in my cabinet but I haven't poured it yet. Looks like I better get Moving!

Just thought I would see what FO's throw the best for everyone else. My best thrower, by far, is Creme Brulee from BCN. I doesn't matter what I put that FO in, it will fill up the whole house! Yummy!

Thanks for the reply. I have a text logo now that I do change colors on but I'm wondering, if I buy a custom logo from a graphic designer, will I be able to adjust the color on that. I really want a logo no one can duplicate (easily anyway) but I have to be able to adjust the color.

I was thinking about having a custom logo done but I just want a signature text logo. Can you change the color of the logo to match your labels (I use alot of different graphics) or do you just get black text?

You could post in the classified section for more response but there is a co-op going on right now for the square tins. HTH, Kim

You're so lucky! I wish I had someone that could make these for me. They look like they would be pretty simple to make actually.

I want to stock around 20 scents. The tree display is only 2 1/2 ft so I think the baskets are pretty small but I love the filler idea. I was wondering what I would do if I got baskets that we too big.

I was thinking about basket too.:highfive: I found this online last night. What do you think? http://www.texasbasket.com/display/index.html also found this one... http://www.avdm.com/6countertop1.html

I am thinking about doing a small show in June to get my feet wet but I have no idea how to display my individually wrapped tarts. No one really seems to know much about tarts in this area so I think if I can diplay them well I can really sell them. If anyone has any suggestions, I would really appreciate it. TIA, Kim

Thanks, I get all my pictures from www.istockphoto.com HTH, Kim

Thanks for th tip! I will definately try that next time I post.:highfive: Thanks again, Kim
