  1. Put my vote in. I really like the stuff. Sometimes I get a perfect pour but ,most of the time a little blast from the heat gun works out just as well.
  2. I like candlesource's The Great Pumkin too, added just a touch of vanilla to it.
  3. I am not saying parafin is bad, we all know we have been burning these candles all our lives. After starting to make soy I have switched, but I still have my old favorites. But I was just wondering if anyone has thought of the long term affects of being a candlemaker of parafin wax. Just wondering if it concerned anyone. I am sure no one there are no studies that say so. But we are now learning about second hand smoke. Just a thought.
  4. I came a cross a candle at a friends house a it had a tag on it and said NVSoy, wasn't sure if it was a type of soy wax like EZsoy, GW Cargill and so on. Thanks
  5. It's funny, some prefer no color then a lady buys a candle because it matches her room. No one can ever know. But I myself do most of my stuff without and some have muted colors. It's always a toss up.
  6. I was just remember a called that I received a long time agofrom a friend and and she said it was a soy candle and I could also use as a perfume. I assumed you rubbed the wax when unlit. So I just went and found it and looked a t the label. It stated on the label that it "makes a lotion, last a long time, helps heal cuts and burns. Dozens of scents." Didn't notice that before I used burned it for the fragrance. But cuts and burns. And it was scented with gardenis which I am sure is a syntheic fragrance because most of them are. I just hope people use are smart enough just to use the candle to burn as a normal candle and not anything else.
  7. Yes you can. I have done it in body care and in candles. I am burning it right now and it burns like any other candle. Have fun mixing.
  8. Does anyone have a contact for those clear plastic tops you place on the top of an open container candle that keeps the product from dirt and stuff. Its just real simple like a little sleeve for the top. I hope I described it right. Thanks
  9. I was searching for fragrances and came across strawberry ice cream from ICS haven't tried it but it sounded yummy.
  10. I think you are recommened to only burn candles a few hours at a time. I read candle box I got a while back and thats what it said in the packaging. and that is what I out on my label as a recommended use. i think if you burn it that long it would go quickly
  11. Try papermart.com ( I think they might have better prices) or floral suppy syndicate, I think the website is FSS.com
  12. I worked in a body care store about 15 years aog and we came up with a fragrance and called it Birds of Paradise. I believe it was a blend of French Vanilla pikaki and a touch of coconut. Which would make it sweet and a floral. I still have a bottle from that store and it is still so yummy.
