Thanks maybe I will make some and see how it goes. Lorelei I use the 2 oz amber bottles with a dropper in it. Makes it easire for people to put the oils in there warmer. Sun I bought some also that weren't half as strong as mine were. I think your right there making them weaker.

I was thinking about making them again. Do they still sell good?

How do you store your excess wax?

I save mine and use it for firestarters. -
Thanks thTA WHt I thought That the wax just burns up. I have scent in mine cause I use leftover wax.

I have begun making firestarters. Being in Arizona in the winter many people have fireplaces and firepits. So they should be a good seller for me. My question is when you put one in the fireplace or pit does the wax burn up or does it sit in the bottom of your fireplace? I am thinking it burns up But I just wanted to make sure. Incase someone asks me.

Thanks so much That will be a big help

Ok I am going to start making room sprays. It tells me to use 8% Fo. So how much is 8% FO in a 4oz bottle. My brain is sleeping on this one. Or maybe it is the pain pills I am taking for my back. I am thinking like a half oz per 4oz bottle But that seems to much for me. Can someone please help here Thanks

I use liquid from lonestar. I don't care for chips cause sometimes they leave specks in my wax. -
I saw one not long ago. But I don't remember were. I do know I used to have a cream container with a real pointy pour spout. It worked really well to pour tealights and small containers.

Hu I haven't changed my info yet But I now I live in Arizona not Illinois. When I did live in Illinois I never had any luck with the shows there.

No I never try to rush a product just to sell it. Hubby thinks I am nuts all the testing I do before I sell a product. But I am very picky about what I sell.

Does this scare anyone else?

I tried it with the rubber lining in them and the rubber never melted or started fire. But you can use a ice pick to get the rubber out. Yes it is alot of work. -
I signed up for two craft shows One in November and one in december. Then today I got an offer to do a home and garden show in january. Right now I am only making tarts in clamshells and 1oz tart samples and tealights. In time I want to add room sprays and 2 oz tins. Do you think the tarts and tealights and tart samples will be enough?
