Cute!

Let me tell you why this is a fail situation. ~ No one needs extra fees to pay, especially to our crappy a$$ government. Really who are they to tell anyone how to make candles. They'll probably do things like they do in DC anyway, whoever can pay the highest of high fees gets their "certification" ~ Don't you think if someone does not care enough about the safety of their product, that they are going to all of the sudden care about getting a certification. NO. They'll do it anyway. I agree it is annoying to see people not do things the way they are supposed to be done. They give us all a bad name. But what you do is make a better product and put them OOB.

Wut??? :tiptoe:

/2 ? If you want half - then you divide each component in half. Please be sure to use gloves and some safety glasses too

Awesome Thanks!!! Time to go shopping . I had no idea places like wally world had just the stems woot!!

I was wondering if any of you know where to get a good deal on these. Trying to make my first bouqet, and I have finished phase one and tested the roses and they are great. Now I gotta worry about packaging and stuff. I found a few sites that sell them for 5.00+ per dozen. Hoping I can get them cheaper. TIA.

First you might consider that the actual size on your screen is NOT the actual size of the bar. Those pics look pretty standard to me. There are spme who make it larger than normal. Maybe the make it that way because they like it? I dunno, just a thought. I make my bars thicker than the norm. Just simply because I like my bar to last like a month or more. Not 2 weeks. I still wouldn't say mine are overly large though. I can still wrap them just fine.

Just because it has a reccomended application does not mean there is a law in which you must abide. If it works for ya, use it!! :cheesy2:

Red Hot Cinnamon sells nicely for VD too.

If you are simply going to repour into the same jars, here is what I do. I have a candle warmer that I use for this. I set the jar on the warmer and when it melts I pour back into the pour pot. When I get all of them done I melt and add fragrance and pour. Kind of time consuming, but I do this while I work on other stuff.

You can have a ton of traffic, it is a whole other thing to have traffic that buys! Good Luck With that.

Candle Cocoon Bacon ROCKS!! Its like a maple bacon and is sooooo yummy. I actually have customers who buy this ROFL!

I think the label makers your talking about are those that you find at Hobby Lobby. I have never used one but I heard they are pretty awesome!. I know places like Uline have some. Not sure if those are strictly UPC makers though.

Pomegranate is very nice Their creamy vanilla is a good one Mulberry is also very good - its one of those fruity juicy smelling mulberrys

Thanks!! That sounds absolutely divine!

May----Be--, It's just me but is it not "biased" to categorize ALL suppliers as "liars who dilute their oils"? I gotta say anyone who is coming across with a problem is you. You got awful defensive just because an admin told you that you could not hold a co-op. It's not personal, there are just a lot off rules imposed because of fraudulent co-op hosts. So if in fact you found your perfect candle formula, great. Best of luck.

oooh this scent bring back memories!! Do they even make this stuff anymore?? I'll keep my eye open, but I have never seen it.

Wick Setter FTW!! (For The Win)

Yeah Ive been there lol! I have long thick hair so even pulled back sometimes it finds it way in there. Off my clothes probably. I just double check after the pour. If it gets in, the customer gets a bonus I guess

Awesome TYTY! I am still awaiting my confirmation to their board. So far my poured ones are fine, had probs with the first one off the roll, but I think it was the oil on my fingers.

Does anyone know if this was ever resolved? Last I read was that BCS took them off the shelves and put OOS on the site. I ordered some the other day to try out (Before coming here to research .....), and there is no OOS note or anything. Just a description of how great these are. Any updates? I hope they fixed the problem. I just poured and they seem okay so far.

You know maybe its a southern hospitality thing, but BCS is always WAY more pleasant to deal with. I have NEVER bought anything from BCN. I have called on a couple of occasions with questions about products, and I always get the vibe that if I purchased it, I would find out. I always fell like I am wasting their time. Maybe they could be proccessing cards and getting paid instead of answering questions. Sheesh I should know better

Hmm I wonder if that jar frosting company got wind of this ahead of time. I have been getting like 2 mailers a week from them for the past two months! Daisaka or something like that. Guess all those mailers didnt work since i cant remember their name lol.

Hiya all~ I Finally order a few of these things. I was reading on here doing some research trying to figure out what to do with these things. I read that most people put a drop or two on the rose itself. But that the wood was falling apart? Did anyone find a solution to this? I was thinking a slight DPG mix? Maybe not? Anyway I wanted to open this up for discussion again since alot of the posts were pretty old. See what the new thing is with these. Thanks

Oh one thing though, if you are looking for versatlilty tho, this is not the wax for you. Solida colors work best and I can even get some good rustics if poured and timed carefully, but have never gotten it to mottle. Just a thought.
