anabanana's candles

I use 464 and NEVER get hangup on the jar walls. I use cd wicks.

Try YES supply company, they are in Lancaster Ohio

I'm so glad I read your post. I'm going to be testing 464 with CD wicks and have been eyeballin CS very vanilla since it came out. How well do you like 464? I've been working with 415 and it's been a total PITA to wick...grrr...hopefully I'll have better luck with CD's in the 464.

I LOVE 464. For me, it is so easy to wick especially with the cd wicks. They are fabulous. I have great scent throw with nearly all of my scents, but particularly NG, CS and Makes Scents. I didn't like Millcreek. If you try 464 you will fall in love. I melt to 180 add Fo around 175 and pour at 140-150. Smooth tops every time. It is wonderful.

I just finished testing NG sweet fried bananas jelly bean and it was awesome. It had more of a rich banana scent than being overly sweet. I used it 1oz pp in 464 8oz straight side jar with a cd14 and it was great with only 2 days cure.

I just had to post that I finished testing CS Very Vanilla and it is amazing. 1oz pp in 464 8oz straight side jar, cd16 wick. I wicked up, but didn't need to so I think that I will back it down to cd14. This scent is AMAZING. It got better each time I lit it. I have yet to find a vanilla that is more rich and yummy than this one with such a STRONG scent throw. I have the last littlw but burning right now and my house smells SO GOOD. Just had to share. I highly recomend this scent.

I am doing a fundraiser for our local YMCA and just got an email from another YMCA to do theirs as well. I am psyched. All of you veteran fundraiser people out there, any pointers?

MUCH BETTER.

I used to use csn, but the flames were way to big for me. I switched to CD and love them for palm and soy.

I put my jars in my oven on warm. Heat wax to 220 add FO and color and pour at 200. They crystalize perfect every time. Yours look like they hit a cold jar and cooled on the outside immediatley.

I just got my first scent order from NG. I ordered.

Jelly Belly Sweet Fried Bananas

Downy Clean Breeze

Cucumber Cantelope

Palm Island

Chanel #5

Yuzu

Ylang GInger

Spiced Cranberry

I am testing new scents for Spring and Summer and I started here. Will someone give me some input. I am going to get a nervous twitch waiting for them to cure to test.

I read of WSP blog that they either had it or were getting it. Does anyone know who makes a dupe?

If that one doesn't throw in soy, try Makes Scents Lemongrass and Sage. It is amazing and throws great in my 464.

I am going to be doing a fundraiser for a local YMCA and wanted to do something creative with naming the candles. The person in charge doesn't want specialty labels, but I was thinking of doing something with the actual fragrance names with a little personal touch for the fundraiser. Any ideas? I am drawing a blank when it comes to that. HELP.

We are doing

Very Vanilla

Sweet Pea

Apple Jack and Peel

Lilac

Downy (or something lineny)

Not the Cinnamon Pumpkin, but their just straight pumpkin. I have tested MANY pumpkin scents, but was wondering if anyone made a real dupe of the BBW one.

Natures Garden Cranberry Cobbler and Solas Blueberry Pie.

When I was younger my dad called me Anna Banana. I hated it, but it stuck and he still calls me Nanners. I was trying to think of something catchy and easy and I dropped one of the n's in my name to make every other letter an A.

My husband actually thought of it. I like it,but sometimes I think that it sounds too country and I am trying to steer clear of that type of image.

It should come out of your tart mold easily. I put my excess in them all the time and they pop out really easy.

Not sure about soap, but Makes Scents has a lemongrass and sage that is AMAZING. I use it in candles, but I am sure that it is bogy safe. I have a 1oz sample that I could send to you. Let me know.

I don't know about soap, but in candles 2 great cranberries are Natures Garden Cranberry CObbler and Candlescience Cranberry Marmalade.

I see these all the time at the flower factory and i think that you can order them.

I started this year and I think I bit off more than I can chew. So in 08 I plan to limit my product line to around 10-15 scents and only 2 sizes and styles of jars. I went way overboard with good deals that I found in the way of containers. I am also going to keep better accounting records. I didn't think that I would sell as much as I did, so my accounting sucked. I am also going to re test all of my scents that I plan to carry and I think that I finally settled on CD wicks.

During craft show time this year I will offer non seasonal scents since the ALL Christmas line that I had this year didn't go over all that great. Good luck everyone.

not a problem. I will pm you when I get it.

Makes Scents Pink Grapefruit and Guava is amazing and I would be happy to forward it to you. I go to their shop quite frequently. Let me know. ALso, I use it in GB 464.

No, I think it has more of a buttercream like vanilla smell. I had already tried CS's French Vanilla and straight Vanilla without much luck in C3. So far this is the best one.....I did have to wickup to get a full mp. I'm very close to ordering a pound of this one.

Now if I could only find a good blueberry, honeydew and strawberry. I order mostly from CS but have now added Bert's, ICS and TCS to my FO suppliers. I read somewhere that the Honeydew and Summer Berries from TCS was really good. I'm not good with testing samples after doing alot of research and not having them throw well.....it's not like I want to burn them either if they don't throw good I have 6 of Bert's scents in various stages of testing and so far only 2 are possibles. Two more of ICS's are heading toward a positive outcome...

Blueberry Cobbler from Makes Scents in Ohio is AMAZING in my 464. It smells up my entire house like I am making muffins or something. Even fooled my hubby. I have had great luck with alot of their scents.

Check ebay. That's where I get mine.

I am really lucking out because my mom and grandmother are going to the Christmas Story House and it is 20 minutes from NG and I am having them pick up an order. If anyone is interested, let me know and I would be happy to add some more to my order.
