  1. Hi! This is my 1st post although I've been lurking and trying to learn as much as I can - valuable lessons to be learned here. I'm getting ready to start selling tarts at our local Farmer's Market, been making them for several months to test scents and wax, friends have been testing for me...still can't make up my mind what is the best, but I was wondering about tart labels - are they necessary? I've bought off Ebay awhile and never rec'd any warning labels on those tarts? Also, I'm using a pre-blended votive wax at the moment for the tarts - it has a high MP of 200 with a pour temp of around 180 - and I've read where the desirable pouring temp for the clamshells is around 165 - what wax should I look into with the right pouring temp if I want to try the clamshells? Sorry, but another question regarding packaging - I've read about the difference between polyethylene and polypropolene bags- that the polyeth will suck the scent, and the polypro will preserve - if I use the polypro can I single bag or is it best to double bag to make sure the scents stay in and don't intermingle? one highly regarded candle supply company sells polyethy and says it will keep the scent in? I'm confused:confused: I'm so excited about this board:D - I had joined another and there were restrictions on naming fos/waxes- this seems so much better - I hope to learn lots more - thanks so much for your time and help!!! I actually never imagined I would venture into this - but am already addicted to fragrance oil treasure hunts and receiving my new fos - thanks again! Hope all of you are having a wonderful spring day!
  2. Hi! I'm new to the board and have been experimenting for a few months making tarts - I'm becoming very frustrated because I keep reading different things about waxes, temps to add the FOs, when to add your FOs and dye - and I was so hoping to get some experienced advice here - I just saw where Eve uses a certain wax - and was wondering if you would share your experience with what temperature you find best to use when adding your FO. Any advice from anyone would be so very much appreciated - I really want to enjoy what I'm doing, plus make the best tart possible, and I feel like I need someone to hold my hand - I'm all ears!!!! Thanks so much!!!
