I use it and love it! You could also call Brad Ford at Clarus as that is the supplier. He is a member here so you can just search his name.

Aztec has them too.

I mix 1/4 cinn stick to 3/4 pump souff and never smell a burnt smell.

Candlescience......

Looking for suppliers within reasonable driving distance from the Moline, IL and Davenport, IA area (Quad Cities). Any leads would be appreciated. I don't find the prices out of line at BCN or Fillmore but shipping is sooooo expensive.

Thanks

I love Candle Science.....I get all my oils from them and I have not found anyone else that comes close to them.

I ordered from them once.enough said!

Serioulsy - a pallet of wax - I don't think I'll ever need that much at one time. I just started last month and haven't sold a thing yet - I'm giving plenty away to testers who are actually providing feedback. I don't know if I'll ever sell any - I think it'll be a great winter hobby that I can use as gifts for family and friends. And I enjoy making the candles and tarts.

BTW - this board is awesome for newbies like me. Thanks for sharing.

Then you would a least want to order by the case. It will last a long time and you will know what you have. It takes up very little room. I order by the case as I only make/sell/give in the fall and winter. For tarts.....a ten lb bag should do.

okay, I bought those scales ya recommended (kd-7000?) on amazon. The basic weighing I figured out, but it came with no instruction booklet! I know this is silly to you all, but I have no idea what the "tare" button does!....? CAn someone explain?

The tare button zeroes out the scale so you can start weighing whatever you're gonna weigh. For instance, put a melting pot on the scale, press the tare button to set it to zero, then add the desired weight of wax. You could use it to add more than one ingredient if you want, and press tare between each one to set the reading back to zero.

Just to add.....the tare button makes it so you are only weighing your wax, not your pot. KWIM? Enjoy!

I also add CS cinnamon to my pumpkin souffle. It is so strong that one night I got up in the middle of the night and I thought oh no I forgot to blow out my candle. Well I had, it was just lingering all over the house. And I have a 2 story house and always burn my candles in the kitchen!

She is such a nice person....the owner.

Candlescience has a really nice Vanilla Hazelnut that works really well in 6006. I add a little bit of plain coffee fo to make it a latte.

And their plain coffee is awsome and very strong! I mixed some yesterday with pumpkin souffle and man is it awesome! I did 50/50 and I mostly smell coffee with a little cinnamon. The coffee is from CS as well.

If you were using 70/30 that has more soy than paraffin. The Ky para/soy I think is more like a 50/50. I tried it years ago.

Does anyone else now have a headache????

Yes!!!!!

Candle buddy....I mix some cs cinn stick with the cs pump souf and I have not notice a burnt smell. But alone I do.

I don't really know about Mr. Missy's Christmas Cranberry, but I blend CS's Cranberry Marmalade (50%) with Cinnamon Stick (50%) and it's really nice.

It doesn't smell like MC Spiced Cranberry, but it is a good seller for me. I named it Country Cranberry in the fall and Christmas Cranberry for the holiday season. Strong cold & hot throw in 6006.

That sounds great!

Jack Frost from CS rocks!

I have some bath and body works home fragrance oil, the ones that come in the .33 oz. Are these okay to use in making soy candles? Please do not tell me to "search" as I have already tried that. If you do not have something nice to say in your answer please do not respond. Sorry for the attitude, but there are a lot of rude people on here!

If you do a search you will find the answer to this is no. There has been previous discussion on this. This would be way to expensive and I am sure those oils are cut with DPG for the candle burners.

Nope.. How much FO are you using pp?

I am using 1.25oz/pp

1oz pp.

I needed to wick up on this one....anyone else?

I like Candle Science..

I second that......

No I have not bought fo's from them but I have bought jars and they have great service......

Ok I am at a loss. I used to use 70/30 wax and after it becoming scarce I switched to 6006. I like this wax alot. Burns with no residue left on the jar ext. I have tested many wicks and finally found one that does not soot like crazy. I am using a 4in cube jar from candlescience. I am using FO's that I know throw like crazy...wildberry mouse from cs for one. I am using 2 htp 31's. No soot, clean burn...my problem? No scent throw. Well a little but not what I want. Help!!!! What can I do now. I have used LX's, CD's and I did get a throw with those either. Just black soot. Oh and I am using 1.5 oz of oil with 17 oz of wax and 1 teas of Coconut oil.

Testing has gone well so far. Burn and throw meet expectations. Glass adhesion has been better than expected - kinda hate to mention that, because it could be just in the right pouring conditions at the moment. Additional testing will bear that out. Hope to have product to see within a month. Will update more as details emerge.

Brad

Any updates?

I am a double wicker too. Yes it is easier so why not?
