You're right. It is Snowtop. Arghhh! I cannot believe I was stumped on that one! If I had read the part about the FO being at ICS I would have known immediately. I wanted to make note of the lavender supplier before I forgot to do so but for some reason my mind was in a deep freeze. LOL Thanks so much for your help! ~Mt Annie~

Ok...I KNOW that I should know this...and I've racked my brain for an answer and even searched in the suppliers abbreviations...but WHO is ST? I know that I'll kick myself once I see the answer. (LOL)

Is Peaks' Fresh linen anywhere near their Clean Cotton? I've tried the Fresh Linen but not the Clean Cotton.

Thanks Sharon! I look forward to it.

Hi ladies, Could some of you give me a good starting ratio for orange and clove? I did a search on "orange/clove ratio" but came up pretty much empty ended. Thanks much!

Has anyone tried Bert's Marshmallow Madness ? If so, how does it compare to other marshmallows that you've tried?

Hi Trappeur, Thanks so much for the info! I wish that we had more posts like this. Most of us LOVE hearing about what works for others. And yes, people *do have their own personal preferences for scents but info like this is always welcome. Sorry that you were greeted in such a rude and un-professional manner. Most of us here do NOT have a corn cob stuck up our butts...but unfortunately...some do. Don't let those few scare you away or intimidate you. They're rarely noticed anyway. ~Mt Annie~

Oh goodie! She has a search function? I'm off to explore! Mt Annie Edited reply: On 2nd thought...I now remember using that search button on previous visits...but it just sent me to a 'google' web search instead. NOW I see that I have to scroll down the page to find those FOs on the DS site. At least they ARE aware of our problem and are working on it. I'm sure that searches will be much easier when they've re-vamped it all. =================

I absolutely agree carebear! I had a very difficult time finding the FOs I was looking for on the DS site so I just gave up too. It wasn't worth it. After almost an hour I still didn't find the ones I was looking for. I had emailed them some time ago about how hard it was to navigate their site but I never received an answer. I *did get an email from their mailing list a few days ago though stating that they were re-arranging the site hoping to make navigation easier. So...hopefully things wont be quite as difficult to find. ~Mt Annie~

Mike, If you've tried them...how does the black cherry from CS compare to AH, NG and BCS's black cherries? I know that you like the CS best.....but just wondering if you've tried those above for comparison?

Just as other suppliers....they have great ones...and not so great ones. A lot also depends on what you're using the fos in. A few of them throw well in soy..but a lot of them do not.

I 2nd the AH black cherry. It's awesome. Cajuns is also really strong!

Very well said. Mt Annie

OK...I too am curious. First of all ...I make candles and before I get a bashing let me say that all of my wicks are as centered as possible. Not perfect...(and I'm sure that none of you can claim absolute perfection)...but they're darn near close. However...before I started making candles I purchased literally hundreds of candles through the years and maybe even closer to thousands of them between myself and my family members...and a LOT of those wicks were off-centered. (I've even purchased a few "yanks" that were off centered...as well as other well-known brands)...but I have never, even once had anything even *close to a fire happen with those candles. (This was before I knew that wicks should be centered BTW) You may call that "lucky" and so would I if it had only been a handful of candles. But I must have burned hundreds of them with a lop-sided, off-centered wick. My only complaint was that most had little or no throw...hence I started making my own. So....I personally do not understand all the "horror" about the off-centered wicks. Could someone enlighten me further? Telling someone that they are horrible candle-makers or liable for serious lawsuit because their wicks are a bit off centered seems a little too extreme to me...unless I'm missing something. I know all the safety issues: "If wick isn't centered the jar could get too hot and crack...or shatter"....etc. etc but if you're using a nice, thick jar or a glass container made for candles...the likelihood of that actually happening is very small from my past experience from all of those that I've purchased and burned through the years. So...just wondering if I missed something really important. Mt Annie P.S. We live in a HUGE tourists town. There are TONS of candles made and sold here annually. I'd say that 5 out of 10 local shops here have at least a few candles with wicks that are not perfectly centered....but I haven't heard of any complaints, fires or law suits over them. IMHO I think you should let the matter go. You've already brought it to the store owner's attention. If something DID happen then it's their butt...not yours.

Once again....she was only asking for a general guide...NOT every single color that could possibly be combined from each and every supplier. Why does everyone keep thinking that? How you can get that from her original question is beyond me. She just wanted a general reference guide...NOT a million combinations as suggested from the replies. Her original question (once again) was: >>> I was wondering if there was a website that helped mix the colors available for candle making to show us what colors to mix to obtain the color we want?

Hmmm....so many to choose from. Guess I'll just have to try some of each and hope that I find something close. Thanks.

Pm'd you.

Has anyone tried "A Primitive Glow's" pear candle? I think it was called "Juicy pear" or "Fresh juicy pear". (?) I love that scent but have no idea who sells one even similar. It doesn't have that "sharp, bitter/tart" twang that most pears have. It's just a sweet juicy pear. Any ideas? Mt Annie

If you have enough..I'd love to have some too! Mt Annie

========================================== No...but that wasn't what she was asking for. This is what she was asking for..... >>> >>>>I was wondering if there was a website that helped mix the colors available for candle making to show us what colors to mix to obtain the color we want?

I know I'm a little late posting this...but I forgot about the thread! I'm going to check it all out. It looks like an awesome place! Thanks so much! Mt Annie

Thanks so much for your replies! The 6006 arrived so I'll see how it performs soon. It was from candlesience originally. Where would the batch # be located? It has a label with a barcode....and the original shipping label from candlescience.

I purchased a TON of Mulberry pillar candles just before Christmas at an incredible price from a store here locally and they were all 50/50 paraffin/palm. They burn *beautifully and I have to say that they seem to last forEVER. So...I don't see why you couldn't do a 50/50 blend. I'd give it a try. Mt Annie

Uhmm.,...what good would it do to know the "bad" batch # if you do not know YOUR batch #? LOL Just curious. Did you ever find out more about it? I just purchased some off the classys and I'm really hoping that it isn't a 'bad batch'. MT Annie
