They look good to me and I bet they do smell wonderful. I love honey and oatmeal soap.

Tracey

Thanks again-

I was beginning to think either my wax suddenly went weird-although I have poured tons of excellent candles out of this lot number, I thought maybe something bizarre happened.

I am hoping my testers come back with good reports tomorrow.......I have some awesome fragrances from NG, that's why I am bothered by these newer ones not working as well for me.....

I will Pm ya for some mixing and other fruity ideas.

Thanks

Tracey

Thanks CreativeCandles-

Now I don't feel as bad-well, except for not being able to use these scents in candles anyway. I may try some tarts and bubble bath and see how that works to use them up. I have quite a few yet to test -

Berry Sublime, Be a Peach, Melonade, Tropical Pear, and a few others of hers. I have a few from NG too that I can't get to throw. I didn't need all those new ones anyway huh?

Thanks again

Tracey

Thanks Debbie-

I think alot of it does have to do with using soy or the soy/cottonseed. I have many fragrances that I can use at 1oz pp. I have been trying to test at that as well-the less is more theory, but sometimes I just have to bump it up.

It just seems that quite a few of the newer fragrances I am testing (not just ICS) aren't throwing well in soy. I am having some friends burn them as well to see if maybe it's just me and the candle nose......

I have a few that will be testing for me tonight--am hoping I will get goos reviews tomorrow when they come in to work.

I have tested the Raspberry Rainbow and Passion Berry at 1.25oz pp and not gotten much throw-I have yet to pour up the Melonade and Be a Peach. I have not has any trouble with the Spiced Mulberry or Winterberry when I tested those

Thanks again

Hi everyone-

Hope you all had a nice long weekend......

I have been testing ICS new juice bar scents. I use KY125 and have been testing at 1.25oz pp. I am finding that most of these are not throwing for me...

Has anyone else tested these in soy or the 125???? Have you had success getting throw? I am wondering if it is me or the fragrance itself. I have such good luck with Kathy's FO's and rarely get one that doesn't throw for me.....I found it odd that there are seemingly so many that aren't-especially the new ones.

I was hoping to get some feedback from others......I am testing a few at 1.5oz pp now and getting some throw-but that was after only a couple days and I am going to have a few friends burn for me to see if it's just my nose..

Thanks

Tracey

this one yet???? Looking for reviews/opinions.

Thanks

Tracey

has anyone tried out their new spa line of fragrances yet???? I have samples at home and have poured a few testers.....just wondering if anyone found that they needed more than 1oz pp in soy, in particular KY125??

The Palm Island is very strong after 1 day cure at 1oz pp. I wondered about some of the others: Tibetan Amber, Rice Flower & Shea, Kulu Bay, Natural Beauty. I also ordered a sample of her Mardi Gras based on some of what I read about the scent-I really like it, does it need more than the 1oz pp?

I have been starting my testing at 1oz pp but wondered if any found they need more....

Thanks for any help!!!!!

I feel fortunate that my DH asks for my soap. One day he asked me why I was buying soap when I made it---I guess I didn't think he'd want to use it--now I don't buy it anymore.

My six year old loves the body wash I have so she's good there.

I feel lucky that I have friends and family that love my b & b stuff and the candles......not all of them, but the ones I am closest to anyway.....

Tracey

I believe this is a 16oz Classic. I have struggled with this one as well. I use KY125. With a few scents I can get it to burn with a CD22, htp1212. I tried the double wicking thing and didn't have any luck---it would seem I would get my melt pool in half the normal time and then the wicks would almost die out.

I have a friend who loves these jars and that's the only reason I even bothered--they are pretty when burning but tough to wick with soy......

Some scents will wick fine with the larger wicks---I gave up on my cinnamon scents-couldn't get singles to work or doubles....

Tracey

I use this-it is awesome......I mix this with cucumber to create my own version of cucumber melon. it's a huge seller for me......

Tracey

You guys definitely sound organized-I am getting inspired by everyone to at least try and make some order out of what I have yet.......

I have a day off tomorrow so it just may be the time huh????

Tracey

I like the supplier idea-then maybe alphabetical after that, but I can see and know how they can become unorganized after a while......

Now, just to get everything moved into the room that's not already there and get that organized--haha!!!!

Thanks

Tracey

Sounds like you guys are organized or at least try to be so====I have so many scents now that everything just gets put in the cupboard when it comes in---time to eliminate some as I have a ton of new ones coming....

I do the same with my colors---in a drawer organizer--it does help a lot for those.....wicks is another story----

Thanks again

tracey

You know, I hadn't thought about how to identify the bottles in the drawers--oh great--now what????? Just kidding---the label thing is a good idea for that---that's why I come to this board....everyone has hints and a little different take on some things....

I like the lazy susan idea too-but can see myself spinning them right off if I am in a hurry or really searching for something.

Thanks for all the help and comments.....

Tracey

:cheesy2:

Mine are all crammed into a cupboard right now too and some are in boxes stashed under my work bench---after searching and searching last night for one FO in particular-still can't find it-I thought I'd come ask the experts on the board------

Tracey

Hey everyone-

Wasn't quite sure where to post this one. Hubby just created a new workshop for me--yippee, after years of being crammed into what felt like a closet. Anyway I finally have the space to really organize my FO's---I have a huge old dresser with nice deep drawers to use.....anyway-am looking for suggestions on organizing the FO's to actually find them when I need them--do you all sort by supplier or alphabetically or by seasonal stuff..

Suggestions are greatly appreciated...

Tracey

My nephews would love those-may have to get creative this weekend...

Tracey

I would love to have a magazine like that

Thanks

Tracey

for all your help. I tried 2 htp 83's last night and had a full melt pool at about an hour and the top of the jar was so hot you couldn't touch it......I am debating as to try 2 73's or even 2 62's for this.

I have never really double wicked before or had to so this is a new challenge for me.

Tracey

That is a huge help for me-I have about every size htp there is along with cd's-well actually I don't think I have any cd's smaller than 12's, but I will try with a couple htp 83's.....

I have debated many times about double wicking that jar, but always hesitated with that opening, but it's a go tonight when I get home.......

Thanks again!!!

I am working on wicking a 16oz classic jar (3.25" diameter, 2.5" opening) using ky125 and a cinnamon FO (1oz per pound). Tried a CD22 and it's just not cutting it-weak flame and no full pool after 6 hours of straight burning. The scent throw was awesome however.......

I have a few HTP1312's and wondered if those were hotter or about the same as a CD22????? Has anyone tried to double wick this jar? I prefer not too, but if it is okay to double wick with a smaller opening like that I will to get a good burn. I can use a cd20,cd22 or htp1212 with luck in my other scents, it's just this cinnamon......

Any help is greatly appreciated...

Tracey

I have heard from Nikki and all is well!!!!! Order being shipped.

Thanks

Tracey
