Does anyone know of a fragrance oil that smells like the Dreft baby laundry soap?Thanks,Karen~:smiley2:

Can anyone recommend a strong maple syrup oil for tarts? Thanks! Karen~

Is this the sissie's sugar cookie or is BCS sugar cookie different? Karen~

Thanks for the suggestion and offer..I need to place a Peak order so I will just pick up a few ounces to try..I have actually used their sugar cookie in container candles but didn't get much of a hot throw..Maybe it will work for tarts though..Thanks,Karen~

I just started making tarts and was wondering if any of you have found a good sugar cookie for tarts that throws well? I use KY para soy tart wax..Thanks! Karen~

The honey gingerbread from BW smells like a honey graham cracker to me..I poured a *new tester* candle in this scent and let it cure for a week and the hot throw this time was much better..The first one I poured I only let it cure for two days and didn't get any hot throw..Not a true gingerbread but definately a great graham cracker..Karen~

I have a sample of BW cinnamon buns,I will try it in tarts..What is a good sugar cookie for tarts?I made some with WSP sugar cookie oil and it smells great in a candle but in a tart it smells more like tanning lotion to me :undecided Maybe it's just me, but I didn't like the tarts as much as I did a candle in this oil..Just poured some sugar cookie tarts with Flickers oil, so I will see how they turn out once I melt a few..Thanks everyone for the replies,I will definately get a few samples from the suggestions to test! Karen~

I am using Ky's parasoy tart wax and need some suggestions for some good strong bakery oils that will make a strong tart..Any help would be appreciated! :smiley2: Thank you, Karen~

I am looking for the primitive recipe to make the molasses cakes that are hard,for display purposes..Hope someone can help? Thank you,Karen~

Well,I melted a one pound block of beeswax and added 1.5 ounces of fragrance..I got 20 tarts out of it..So,I guess the molds are not a true one ounce each..Just seeing if they would frost, which they did not..I am in the testing stage for tarts,which I have only had luck with the pure beeswax not frosting..But at the cost I will find something cheaper..The 416 frosted really bad,the soy beeswax mix frosted as well just not as bad..KY is supposed to have a good tart wax,so I may try that..Thanks,Karen~

I actually made 20 of the pure beeswax tarts and am currently letting them cure before testing..(one ounce wax for each tart)I get my beeswax for approximately $4.95 per pound,so 20 of them would be one pound and four ounces.."If" I sell them @ $1 each that is a profit~right?!I used 1.5 oz of wyw cinnamon sticks for scent..They absolutely did not frost what so ever and have kept their rich dark brown color..My question is I wasn't sure if they would be safe in a melter?Although I have read you need a harder wax for tarts..Beeswax is definately a hard wax..I also made some last week with a beeswax soy mix and those frosted as well..The pure beeswax tarts look beautiful..Thanks! Karen~

Just curious if anyone makes tarts with pure beeswax?Just wondering if pure beeswax is safe for melters?I tried the 416 tart wax and they turned out with lots of frosting.. Thanks! Karen~

Just received my mold to make the little cinnabun tarts.My question is what color do you dye them?I have some brown color blocks..Just not sure if you use a tan or brown..Any help would be greatly appreciated..Thanks,Karen~

Does anyone know of a technique used to get the "pitted" look to the primitive spice tapers? I know you roll them in a mixture of spices,but not sure how to get the pitting..Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Karen~

Can anyone suggest where to find instructions on making primitive pillars?I know some of the basics but need to know about wicking a 4x4 size pillar..Do you use a sealer or is there a self sealing mold?Best wax to use? I have only made containers but want to add pillars to my line..Any help would be greatly appreciated..Thanks,Karen~

Hoping someone can recommend a sugar n' spice fragrance oil that does well in soy?Thank you! Karen~

I tested the honey gingerbread and did not get a good hot throw although it smelled heavenly..I only let my 16oz candle cure two days before lighting though..Maybe I need to re test and cure it longer..Anyone else getting a hot throw in soy with honey gingerbread?I think I will test a sample of Peaks as well..I don't care for the buttery scents they make me sick.. Thanks! Karen~

Thinking of trying Peaks gingerbread cookies..Does it have a great hot throw in soy?Is it a realistic spicy gingerbread? I ordered some buttery gingerbread from WYW,and the hot throw isn't too amazing..Any suggestions on a good throwing spicy gingerbread from another supplier or is Peaks pretty good? I have tried and tested so many but still haven't found THE GINGERBREAD after all this time Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..No applesauce or orange notes..Just spicy gingerbread..Didn't like Cierra's, too bitter for me.. Thanks! Karen~

I will order a sample of it! Thanks! Karen~

Can anyone recommend a strong & true Jasmine oil for soy that has a nice cold &hot throw? Thanks,Karen~

Hello,I used the tin cans from Bittercreek...Maybe I didn't leave them in the oven long enough when I tried it..I am very thankful for your information..I will try this once again and see what happens..I do remember a terrible smell though..Will definately use fans and open the windows!!Thanks so much! Karen~

Yes,I used my oven but in the end they looked no different than when I first put them in the oven:confused: Any helpful suggestions? Thanks,Karen~

Not sure if this is in the corrrect section or not?I use pure soy in my candlemaking and have seen the tin cans at BCN..My question is what is the process used to make the tins look old &aged?I have already tried the process mentioned on BCN website but all I got in the end were some very hot tin cans that still looked the same..Anyone know?I am wanting a drab brown primitive look..Any help would be greatly appreciated..Thanks! Karen~
