They may not have turned out like you wanted but they look awesome.

Blend HEB-Plus Herbal Shampoo, Bubble Bath, Bath Gel and Hand Soap Concentrate

Sheila, have you tried this base from the chemistry store? IT seems like it would be a good one, and b/c you can use it for many different applications, makes it a plus?

It says it has a high viscosity (lather) which is what the poster and most of us are looking for.

Just wondering if you've used it and how it is?

Besides, it's a GREAT GREAT price.

The Blend HEB Plus is one of my favorites because it is soooooo thick! You do need to add a bit of distilled water to thin it down but I love the way it doesn't get all soupy when you add fo . I also use the Blend 213 and Blend NBB (both are good shampoos) and the Blend BBC Bubble Bath isn't bad but I use the heb plus for bubble bath and shower gel etc.

I have used the Aloe Body Wash from BC and when you add fo it gets very thin.

I'm not a pro but I like the way the finished bar of CP looks. For some reason HP looks kind of rough ( at least mine does) and CP makes a nice smooth bar.

When I get home I'll check it out. There is one of the multi uses that I like a lot but I need the bottle the check and see which one it is and yes I saw that price 2 days after I had placed an order:undecided I'll post later after I check the bottles.

The Chemistry Store http://www.chemistrystore.com/ has several different formulations and I have tried and like them all. In fact I order the shampoo and conditioner for family use. You can get a 4 qt. sample pack for $22.00 and they have frequent sales. For now they are located down in Pompano but are moving to S.Carolina which I'm hating!! I have been spoiled by ordering one day and having it on my porch by the next day. They also have a nice variety of supplies for B&B

As with any other candle, wick size and type must be tailored to wax and candle size. It does matter.

If I find some to fit the tealight cups I have, then I plan on making the wax to fit the wicks so to speak.

I have googled and looked at supplier sites until I'm crosseyed.

I need some tealight wicks that fit the cups I have.

10-15mm base with 3mm neck (Thanks for that info Cet) At this point I don't care if they are zincs, lx or whatever.

I e-mailed them and received 5 free samples (2oz size) before I ever placed an order.

Their cust.service is not the best in as far as I never received a shipping notice and had to call them to find out where my order was after 3 weeks of not hearing anything. I ordered 15 lbs. of premium assorted dupes. because they had all of the ones I wanted and it saved me from having to order from a dozen different suppliers. They are all good and smell true to the original. Primarily I use them in B&B ( only tried 1 in CP and it was a disaster which I had to assume was the fo since it was a tried and true soap recipe) The only wax I've put them in is tarts so I can't say how they would do in candles.

Love the second one!!!!!!!!!

That happens to me when the mold is too cool or when I don't pour hot enough.

Dang E, so glad it didn't get in your eye! Thanks for posting the pic. It's a good reminder for all of us to be careful even after we put the lye away. I have splashed raw soap on my arm above my gloves and that stuff smarts!

I only tried one and I didn't like it. Also the top cracked after one use ( I pour at 200) I think Rob has used these without a problem. I noticed they are on sale at candlewic so I was thinking about giving one another try.

Remember the EpiLady..oh about 15 years ago..it had wires that spun and ripped the hair out by the root..my mom bought me one..and I tried to use it once..and threw it across the room. ..after using a few choice words..that shocked her.

The first time I tried waxing my legs (20 yrs ago) I did two strips and said never again!! But-- when the hair started growing back in I noticed that the waxed section didn't have any hair for 6 weeks so I decided to give it another try. After waxing for a while the skin becomes desensitized and it really doesn't hurt but it's messy ( I only used zip-wax ) so when I was given my first EpiLady I loved it!!! Now I hardly have any hair on my legs at all. If you wax a couple of times and then use the EpiLady it doesn't hurt at all and you will never want to be bothered with shaving again.

Awesome !!!!!

I don't even want to think about it

Peppermint

Lavender

Patchouli

All of the Citrus

The throw in palm isn't as strong as in parrafin but I have never had the wax smell overtake the fo but the palm I use doesn't have much of an odor.

Yes a lot of peeps have changed their name. I think there is a thread on off topic that has some old and new names.

Oh and no need to add palm steric jenniejr

The cinnamon bun is a favorite all year.

Last year I ordered a LOT of Fall/Winter fo's. When the orders started coming in they were ALL for various fruit/floral or what I consider Spr/Sum type fo's. Go figure.

Several of us here have done extensive testing on wicking those nasty little 2" pillars without success. I finally gave up on it due to extreme frustration because like you said, either the flame was too wimpy or you get a blowout. I think EB Candles (Carmen) did find a wick for them but I can't remember which one it was and it didn't work for me. Good Luck!
