    Skittles FO

    in Fragrance Discussion

    Posted

    Ok, now you're going to make me open a package of Skittles. DS and DIL love them and I keep little packs of them in the candy basket.

    Haha! oops! Sorry! ;) It is a great scent..if you do order from NG try it! It is called Rainbow! I like alot of NG's oil's especially their Zucc. Bread! It is the creamy kind..yummmy! OOps! I hope you don't like Zucc, Bread! ;) lol

    I don't know of any other supplier who does sell it besides BCN, but I don't know what the fuss is all about? It's OK to me, but not OMG, wow! it's a scent that confuses me, I guess. It's accurate to the name and strong OOB, not denying that, but I guess I don't "get it". I want to though! :D

    I recently got a whiff of HPC from a destash..you are right..I am glad I did not order it..beside's BCN's shipping is expensive for me..so I am glad I read this and also got the destash with the melt in it so I could smell it before I made a order with BCN, in which I didn't need.

    I just poured some CLV from NG..it smell's awesome! I have 2lbs. from JS and I get fuel smell...although that goes away after the candle has cured..about 3=6 days with my soy wax. I never tried it in paraffin..I just can't stand the fuel scent.:/

    The Candle Source Wax

    Posted · Edited by kimmeroo

    I have been following this thread so I ordered a 10# bag of the tart wax. Got it yesterday and threw it in the presto! This wax that I got is soft..greasy and it does stick together when you make a ball. I used their sample of Apple Pie (omgosh..love this scent and crème brulee is amazing and strong) it smells great CT.. I haven't melted yet waiting a couple of days...BUT it is really soft..when you take it out of the scent shot cup it like melt's in you hand's(hence the "gresiness").:/ Thinking about adding some 4794(which I have been testing straight that won't budge out of he ss cups!) :/ So maybe the 2 together will work? Anyone having these issue's?

    I had to place an order at Fillmore and guess what I got? YUP! 4 cases of them! When I see them locally I will stock up on them! http://www.fillmorecontainer.com/Heritage-Collection-Blue-Regular-Mouth-Ball-Pint-Jars-P5875.aspx?g=true

    I love all of the idea's on here! The crumble's would be so cute! The brittle would look nice in them too! I love the soap/lotion dispenser too! I wonder what the pendulum light's would look like with them? I am thinking on that for my kitchen! ;)

    Hello I'm not sure if it's ok to ask. Is there anyone from upstate NY?

    If I'm not suppose to ask I'm sorry.

    Yes..I live between Utica/Rome area as well! I have made palm(glass glo) candle's but I could never get them wicked..way..so then I moved on to Soy..I am not a business(as of now..I used to be though) just hobbyist..if I can find a good tart/melt wax combo I will go for it again here in the Fall. As far as candle's..I make them but I don't push to sell them anymore as wicking has drastically changed for my recipe. So I am at square one basically with my candle's. :/ So cool you have so many animal's! I love animal's! :)

    Best Place to buy Clamshells?

    in Wickless

    Posted

    Hi I wanted some reviews on getting clamshells. I have mostly got them from COOP in the past.

    I'm looking at getting them from either Impact, Panic, eclamshell- I know the min is high but that's okay.

    Also I may end up ordering from Lonestar or Candle Science too.

    Should i stay away from any of these places because they are know to have a plastic smell? I've read alot of reviews and there's alot of different opinions. Thanks for any help!

    I am thinking any clamshell you use would be fine..I think the skunky..plastic smell you are worried about come's from vendor's who pour too hot and the plastic actually melt's some. HTH. :)

    Are these the right Portion Cups?

    in Wickless

    These are the same ones I used when I poured wax into cups. I also used some that were black. I've been told that they are supposed to have a #2 on the bottom and some I bought did have that and some didn't. I bought from two suppliers though and Solo was one of the brands I got and the #2 that's on the bottom is very small. I bought some off of ebay and the #2 is large. I'm not sure if it matters. I couldn't tell a difference in how they performed. Hope this helps!

    There is supposed to be a #5 on the bottom. The #2's I believe don't quote me..over time will break down with certain FO's. Hopefully someone else will chime in and confirm this. :)

    Hey again! I know I need a #5 on the bottom to know if it's correct. I sent an email and in their reply they said we don't supply that info on our website. Is this for your business or recycle purposes. Anyway I responded and hopefully they will let me know. But if any of you have use these specific ones 1.5oz cups. Let me know. I'd prefer not to go to Walmart if possible unless it is 1.5oz. Thanks for any help! (link to product is below)

    I believe the Dart brand is the right one! That's what I have and use and I haven't had any problem's. I don't sell yet but I have alot I got from a restaraunt that burned and they were the Dart and mine have a #5 on the bottom! Hopefully someone else who order's these from this supplier will chime in! :)

    I bought some from Early American and I've had a heck of a time getting the scent throw I used to from it. I use CD's and CDN's

    I thought it looked more translucent than usual, not as creamy looking

    I have had the normal looking wax the the HT just isn't the same! I haven't figured out if it is the wick's for sure..I have made some melt's with the exact same combo as I would in a candle and let it cure for 7 days..and strong throw! HMMMMMM....so I am thinking it is the wicks! I may have to try a different type,,just don't know what yet. I have HTP's but they perform the same way as the CD's..CDN's. Luckily I don't make too many candle's and just started making melt's. I am not a business but I am a hobbyist and have a few consignment shop's that I sell cnadle's in. TY so much for the info..may have to switch waxes!

    Happy Easter! Kim

    Does anyone make chunk style melts?

    Still planning on doing this,I got a selection of waxes from peaks and sadly bought too little, just testing with clamshells it has all gone, will have to order a larger amount to test.

    I know what you mean I need more wax too..I probably won't have the time now until Fall to play..I own a soft serve custard shop and we open in april..so all of my time will be devoted to that. I have been trying to get this scoopable wax thing perfected. I am pleased with what I have accomplished so far..now I am wanting to pipe it and have no clue how...trial and error..so that will be put on hold as well. :( Good luck with it Mullberry! :)
