  1. I currently have 7 wholesales and a couple of them are REALLY close to each other. I had thought about doing private labels but I just couldnt bring myself to do it. I work so hard and I am sorry but I want ALL the credit for it. I dont think that someone could pay me to take my name off of my products. I usally just take off my contact info and leave my company name. I may eat my words one day:D if I ever get a really good offer. I know that it works for alot of people to do the private labeling...so good luck and Congrats!
  2. I used shoe polish and it did smell when I was putting it on the candle but now I cannot smell the shoe polish.
  3. I have to come up with another packaging idea...I am using zip lock bags from papermart and it seems that I cannot let one scent touch another after they are packaged or else the bags will smell like the other scent...maybe I need a thicker bag....:undecided I havent tried using my tart bags yet...of course the are alot thicker so maybe it would work:D
  4. I just recieved this scent from Lonestar.....My new fav! I thought it would be musky...dont ask why:grin2: but its such a good FO!!!!
  5. I just recieved my order. These are the ones I got to try: Sassy Sweet Tarts Sweet Berry Deelites Apple Cinnamon Pomegranate Bear Claws Hot Baked Apple Pie Calm Down! Fresh Linen Vanilla Bean Sugar Cookie They all smell soooo good!!!!
  6. Just wondering because I am driving my hubby crazy with all the new scents I keep adding and with me buying so many from a site that I have never used before hes a little worried!
  7. I buy my blanks from bell and company and I add about 1 teaspoon to 1 1/2 tea. of strait FO to each one...I use Peak and bittercreek FOs. Why arent they very strong? I have some scent snippets that I bought from sweet pea printing before she closed shop and when I would add one drop of FO to them they were sooooo strong. I just feel like the air fresheners should be stronger...am I doing something wrong?
  8. I got some advice to buy sassy sweet tarts from Just Scents from this board...I am wondering if there scents are any good? I went kinda crazy on there yesterday and bought 8 different FOs to add to my scent list...I hope they are good...I usally only buy from Peak and Bitter creek. I now have 67 different FOs...guess I better stop adding for a while!
  9. Ive never used steric...I just freeze my mold to make that look.
  10. Where can I find a good sweet tart scent? TIA
  11. What is steric? And the FO is sunflower from bitter creek...my daughter wanted a pink one for her room.
  12. Im doing some testing on a 3x6 pillar and using 60-44-18z wick and 4625 wax. It has been burning for 3 hours...does this look ok? I just trimmed to wick and relit it so I will keep an eye on the pool! TIA
  13. Ok so the mold has a slit in it so I was able to run my spool of wick threw the mold and using clothes pins I kept the wicks strait. Now how do I finish the bottom of the taper...do I tie it in a knot and maybe dip the bottom of it into some hot wax? Any suggestions?
  14. Need some suggestions on how everyone is keeping their wick centered in the Grubby Taper Mold and also bracing it down in the bottom of the mold. I have the one from FlexiMolds with two tapers that connect with 1 wick. Using 4625/4794 blend and 15 ply wick.
  15. Thank you, guess I have to go pick up some shoe polish! I never thought about using the stencils to make other pictures either.
  16. I just recieved my electric sugar cone willow tree mold from fleximolds...I know alot of you order from them so you may know which one I am talking about. I am wondering how to add the darker color to the impression of the willow tree? It looks like the candle is colored DIRTY. I am guessing that you would rub some darker coffee brown liquid dye...right?
  17. Ive never read anything about adding anything other than strait FO....maybe you can though...Ill be waiting on that answer LOL:p
  18. I just got my blanks today and I will test some this coming week! I thought about spraying the FO and was glad to see someone suggest it on here!:smiley2: HAs anyone ever mixed there FO with DPG for the air freshners? (Just trying to save $) if it doesnt sacrifice the scent!
  19. Do you really think that customers freak out about wet spots after they leave with the candle? I always wonder if its something that bothers my customers...thats why I stopped using J223. Whats everyones thoughts on that....does it only drive the makers of the candle crazy?
  20. Wow! Thanks for taking the time to help me...I am soooo grateful! Me and my husband will look into it this eveing! If I need any help I will PM you! Thanks again!
  21. I have no idea what REAL TIME means or anything about choosing a shopping cart... seems so confusing LOL Can anyone recommend a easy first time startup web site for me to begin with?
  22. I am wondering how those of you that have a site charge people for shipping. I love how easy it is to ship things in a $8.10 priority box but how do you figure up shipping for everything? Im totally in the dark about this! Anyhelp or advise about a web site would be great~TIA
