I haven't used the preserve it, but I do use what you bought and it has worked for me so far. I use it on crystal clear labels and on the gloss white and it is holding the color very well. Good luck.

I have used them for the white gloss and like that (I ordered some clear circle labels but haven't used them yet). For the clear, I have gotten them from the classies (from onlinelabels.com) Don't know if that helps you or not, but just thought I would give you my

I'll be there! Can't wait.

I know it is not on your list, but ICS Fresh Pear is yummmmmmmy!

Be prepared, you'll be very addicted and your area won't stay quite so neat! LOL. Have fun, can't wait to see more pics.

You could make a hang tag with that information on it.

Good point Nanasnecessities. It is much cheaper to use card stock than the pre cut business cards. I just found a ream at Sam's Club for less than $8.00. I do use the hang tags on my wickless candles.

Thanks LightofDawn. I looked at that but there was just a couple names, must need to do the F5 thing on my computer.

So, who from this board is going besides me? Can't wait to meet some of you!

I started with hang tage and a scent label on the lid. I since changed to a label with a scent name & picture on one side and it looks much more professional. I think it is just personal preference though.

What is the addy to check if you are listed? I went to the home page and don't see where to look on that.

Isn't the date Sunday the 24 June? (not July)

That looks great, congrats on deciding!

I also use the same wax but I ust 8-9% FO with ECO wicks. I notice the "burnt smell" sometimes if the candle was on a marathon burn. (usually has a bit of a shroom) Don't know if that helps you or not, just my 2 cents. Good luck.

Very nice.

That's very pretty.

I can't answer all your questions but I did just get some of the KYglow wax. I was told by KY that this wax can not be scented. There is no additives in it to make it hold the fo. She also said that if you put the additives in, it will not glow as well. You may get more responses in the general candle section too. Good luck.

Has anyone tried the Aurora lamps? If so, how are they. What is the minimum order with this company?

When I have done M&P in that type of mold I start to push the soap out, get it as far out of the mold as I want the thickness of the soap to be then hold my cutter tight to the mold and cut. I get pretty straight cuts that way.

I am using the same as MochaMama, the pampered chef one. I am going to try this technique next, hopefully my blade is not too flimsy for it. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll keep you posted, maybe I'll go melt some soap right now.

I successfully molded pink sugar MP soap into a flower Pampered Chef bread mold without leaking all over, it came out of the mold beautifully, but when I tried to cut it I couldn't get an even cut. I have a wavy vegetable knife and tried that. I love the wavy look but it is too flimsy to cut straight. Tried a regular knife, same uneven result. Any suggestions? I like the look of the flower shape and don't want to give up on it without trying everything. Thanks for any suggestions.

I agree with you islandgirl, with the exception that I can drive there when I need to. Their warmers are great. I know that there was an issue with the co-op, but the ones I tried from the first one arrived to me just fine.

I LOVE that!!!!!!!! I just made a tester citronella candle in a veggie can (got lucky with the wick choice) but thought it would look better rusted. I am going to try the vinegar thing, hopefully it will work for me.

Quick question, how in the world do you punch a hole in the can??????? I tried a nail and hammer but just kept bending the can. Do I need to break out the drill? (scares me, never drilled a hole before) What kind of wire do you use? I hadn't thought about a handle, I was just thinking of putting a design along the top of the can to act as decorative air holes.

Welcome to the board, your candles look nice.

Are they scented with Chocolate covered strawberry FO? If so, that's YUMMY! (except my DH hates it & I'm not allowed to burn it!)

I love ICS. I agree with the pink sugar. You must try the Pineapple Upside Down Cake, Chocolate Covered Strawberries, and Fresh Pear! Yummy.

How about:

"Bert's Funky Scents"

"Bert's Waxy Creations"

"Retro Wax by Bert"

"RetroBert Aromas (or Creations, or Scents)"

It is very hard to come up with a Business name, I agree with PA about putting it on here, I don't want the criticism either. Maybe you will get some more good ideas and narrow it down from there. Good luck!
