@Kerven @kdmorgan Thanks to you both! I will add FO at 180-185 and try pouring at around 170. I do plan on testing it with a bit of soy blended as well. Just bracing myself for the inevitable wicking frustration...

Did you ever find a wick that you like so far??

Coconut  wax prices are on par with paraffin, and at present command a very nice competitive price. I found coconut wax to be more thrifty with fragrance, so the cost of the wax is offset somewhat by the savings on fragrance. This is good news! 

 

 

How much fo did you use in the coconut wax?

I learned that bulk apothecary now carries citric. Depending on where you live it can be a super bargain. $55 per 50# and there's always at least a 10% off coupon, often more. They sent me a coupon with even more $ off but I did not need any last week. 

 

shipping to me is super cheap as I am only a zone or two away. Overall it's the best price I have found as I can't get it locally. 

You know what, Im only a 2 hour drive away from them!!

Hi. Im curious where the best price online is for Citric Acid? Thanks!!

Kandle Krazy We are not beating up the "little guy". Its our personal preference. I don't feel that a supplier is "professionally loyal" to her customers when before she closed she sold particular wax and then without any notice, the wax went "poof" from her website and so afterwards the owner makes a post apologizing while she continue to sell oils, then without much notice closed her business. And your right, business' do close but most don't return and repeat that same business practice twice either and then return for a third time.  Naaaa, to many solid suppliers out there. JMO!

They carried a FO I liked very much, but after the MW's burn - no more.

What have you tried of MW's that you love?

She did have a few that I loved that I couldn't find ever again when she closed. I know ICS took over SOME of the Snowtop oils she sold way back when, but even those slowly went from ICS. I wont buy from FP for supplies even as good as they were back then just because of the Snowtop business and the Miami Erie business she closed and without much notice. And YES,..I LOVE Fragrancebuddy...I have been ordering the MW oils too!!!!! <3

I didn't receive any tracking info yet, ordered on Saturday..How long does it usually take to receive your orders?

I would pm her. I know she is really busy as she has a ton of business. My order has never taken more than 2 weeks to arrive but I only order soaping supplies not anything for wax.

Not sure if anyone has heard or orders from this fairly new supplier but her stuff is AMAZING! She tests all her supplies in her Youtube videos where she makes soaps that you can buy to smell the fragrance in the product(s). She is so very nice and GREAT customer service as well. Not to mention her prices are great too.

She has micas, soap molds, glitter, carrier oils, lye, ONE STOP SHOP.

Her name is Jennifer and she also has a facebook group.

website.. www.bescented.com

Anyone else order from her?

Whats everyones thoughts on this? Curious because she's sold in the past twice before this and closed down her supplier business without much notice to her customers.

WalMart carries a waterproof high temp silicone.

Anyone know what kind of jar this is and a supplier?

Thank you!

I love them! Glitter on the outside of your candles is really no different then grubby candles rolled in coffee grounds. THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL!

Seems like so much extra work and mess.

I feel sorry for the people who buy her candles. Yikes! I have been doing this since 2006 and I am still testing and learning things!!!

Is this just shaved wax that the person shaved? Hope this image works!

I just received 10 lbs of 3020 and 10 lbs of 3022. I emailed with them and they sent the samples right out. I believe it was Melanie I emailed with. Very nice lady!

Melanie is the one I emailed and got a 10 lb. slab as well. Honestly 3022 is my FAVORITE wax!

That is so awesome! Maybe you will do more home parties.

I am using Mica's still always have. Natures Garden has liquid colorants now that work in CP soap that I see a lot of soapers using. Welcome Back! Missed you!!!

I've done wholesale and drop shipping and I would suggest....DON'T DON'T do it!!! Its for their benefit and not yours, trust me. You are doing all the work even shipping the products to their customers and they make more money then you do.

How much FO do you add to your bath salts to make you bath water scented well? (I see so many different amounts).

It has got to be a sweet scent that is for sure. Those young'ins love sweets! Let's see Cotton Candy and Grape, Cotton Candy and Green Apple, Green Apple & Watermelon, Watermelon and Cotton Candy, plain Grape even. The Fruity Rings like JAJC mentioned seem to be extremely popular now. Leisa, tell us more about making these wax-dipped teddy bears for the Children's Hospital...sounds like a wonderful idea!

Every year for Christmas I donate 30 wax dipped Teddy's to our local Children's Hospital. It's for the little older kids that are in the hospital. The fruity loops will be a good one as well as any of the Cotton Candy blends among the boys & girls. They will all be white Teddy's and are really cute.

(Any ideas)...If you were to blend any fragrances to make wax dipped Teddy Bears for a Children's Hospital what fragrances would you blend? It must be unique! :undecided

Sometimes the supplier requests a pick-up from the carrier and it may not get picked up until the next day after printing the label and then it could take the P.O. the next day to scan the package. I have had packages not get scanned until they were in another town or sometimes until they were actually delivered.
