I live in So Cali and I bought the soy container wax kit from BCN a few months back...very nice value IMO!

Very nice people and great service IMO!

Several hundred dollars later I am still ordering from them and have also tried the following suppliers in this order, and I had no qualms whatsoever:

Candlescience

Just Scent

BCS

Candles and Supply

Farmhouse

HTH!!!

The cheapest shipping was through CS...and I bought a couple dozen jars and 2 8 oz FO's and more...

I got 12 4 oz tins and 12 8 oz mason jars from CS awile back. Great prices on shipping, and great service. I think the shipping was 8 bucks...

I will order from them again, fast and reliable.

HTH!!

And what is a true Verbena?

I always hear of berry, lemon or something before the word Verbena.

Then I get people who say they love Verbena.

I am confused!!:embarasse

Thanks for the very much needed advice!!!!

I use stickums, and wick setters, the metal ones with the v in the center, but I did improvise and use a metal tablespoon as a wick setter; bad, bad, bad!!!

I only have 2 wicksetters for now, really all I need, as it is a hobby for now...

LOL!!! As I small the wafting FO's in the candles across the room

Ziploc is bad for FO's. I use cellophane baggies, any kind of Party City bag that has the small party bags, and I think they have a number 5 on the bottom...I never found the number 5, but I have been making tons of tarts, and did use ziploc, and after using the cello bags, they work better IMHO!

HTH!

Is it idiot proof? I have made a few test candles with it. After the candle cured, eyeballing it, the wick seems off center to me. These were 4 oz tins.

TIA~!

What is the diiference between the above posted recipe and the smelley jelly

beads???

I have done aroma beads, and except for ornies, I was unimpressed (I may have a huge tart/candle nose though! LOL)

What I am asking: is the above recipe comparable to the actual smelly jellies?

TIA!

Congrats to you too!!! We are so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is so nice to be out of Tartland anyways LOL!!!:highfive:

Kinda sick of being a Tart pro

Only so much creativity with tarts, and I did the coffee ground sprinkle and the cinnamon sprinkle too!!!

Finally!!!!!!

I poured FH 50/50 in an 8 oz Jelly Jar and used an eco 8 and FH SnowyPine Fo...

Perfect MP, Perfect Hot and Cold throw...no mushrooming, tunneling or any wierd conditions!!

I am a happy camper, not because I am in an X-Mess rush to mass produce, but, I finally made a perfect candle! Whoot!!!

1 tart at least 16 hours, burned on and off! HTH!!!

I finally made 4 container candles today!! I used the FH 50/50 and Snowypine

uncolored! Two of them nippled and 1 that nippled cracked but I love it so much better then the ez soy! I have a heatgun so I think I can fix the problem.

I also had enough left over and made 3 tarts in metal molds.

So it can be done! I just had to freeze them until they got very cold and the tart popped right out of the mold!

I love this scent!!!

Well I found the thread I wanted here: http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38308&highlight=farmhouse+order+question

And yes I did my home work I was correct and Candle Buddy confirms it:

I was going nuts because I knew I had searched and read about 8 oz square masons with FH Blend and Snowey pine and cd 10's!!!

Thanks Candle Buddy!!!

No worries! Just a hobby, but I have not made a candle in like, 2 weeks, so I will takes notes and wait and see!

I ended up repouring it with a CD 10. The temp was still around 130 so I just reheated it on the stovetop to 150, my testing pouring temp... to avoid cracks...

This is the FH 50/50 blend and FH Snowey Pine

I only made 1 6 oz of wax for an 8 oz tester and added 1/8 FO...

Weighed it all, but rewicking took a toll on my measurements, so now I am under the "lip of the mason jar...

But I think I may like this 50/50 blend better than EZ Soy...

I like pouring at a warmer temp, and I think the throw will be better IMO!

Thanks for all the help!!

Well I tried a CD 14 I can alway yank it and wick down...Thanks!

This FO is amazing BTW!!!

Thanks!! maybe I should try a CD 14? I have a sampler pack so I am able to try cd14 right now!!!...I will try that!

Thanks!!! I have 8 oz square mason jars just doing 1 test candle, maybe a CD 12 would be best!

Sheesh! I read somewhere a CD 10 but I search and read alot, Have I done my homework?:undecided

I still have yet to try the FH 50/50 Blend and I want to make an 8 oz mason for Hubby, who decided on the Snowey Pine FO from FH!

I am ready to melt the wax, just so tired of trying to search and not finding the right thread! GAH!!

TIA!!

I made some tarts today with ezsoy and added some BW. The scent throw hot and cold is amazing! Maybe it is the FO or the temp you add the FO at?

I add my FO at 180 degrees.

HTH!

Thanks! I just wanted to play with my new shipment tonight.

What temp do you add the FO at? I did a search but did not find the answer!

I did find the pouring temp 160-165, but not the temp to add FO...

TIA!!

Thanks to all of you all who gave me some great names. I like them all. I was thinking about Chic Boutique but someone just open a store with the Boutique on it so that one is out. I think I am going with Mary Mary (for a change I will not hear "quite contrary":grin2: You know nursery rhymes stick with you:D

I love it!! I am so glad that you found yourself a new name!~~

Mary's Scent Shoppe.

I am new to this, but in the EZ soy wax my all time favorites are Candlescience's Cream Brulee and BCN Cream Brulee mixed with Country Berry Hotcakes.

FWIW I have not tried Daystar yet or NG. Either I am too late in the classies or I am waiting for payday! I did try JS and the throw was weak in the EZ Soy...HTH~!~!~!

Never did it in Soy but I have use them in 50/50 and throw is AWESOME lol

why not try it in your ezsoy..it won't hurt to try.

Dani

Because I only have 1 oz...

Thanks! I will wait for the FH 50/50...
