Misser

My wax has gone up each time I went to get some!! :undecided Yeah the high gas prices are driving everything up, and the soybean price is at an all time high too.

My soy wax has been increasing about every 2 weeks.

Oh those are so darling!! Great job and what a great idea!!

Red is so hard! I started just putting a drop of brown in with it for the rich red. Liquid dye from Bittercreek.

I use to use EZ Soy all the time. I also noticed that difference in the texture and my candles were not burning properly either. I did eventually switch waxes. Wish I knew more to help you out.

Hi Kellie,

I have used a quite a few of their oils and they are great! The Kudzu Blossom was wonderful. I also used their Buttercream, I'll be Home For Christmas, Karma Kazi and Etheral Dreams. Their shipping is super fast also! They do have some very unique scents.

I have also heard Sock It to Me cake is wonderful also HTH.

I got mine from Day Star. here's the link.

Love them!! What a cute idea!

so incredible!! I love them.

SO cute I love them!!

Congrats!! I think everyone can agree on how hard and frustrating it can be!!

Thanks so much for your help girls!! I really appreciate it.

Hi, and yes, thanks for the response.....Using the same oils. I realize that alot of the same questions get asked over and over, and I did do a search didn't find the answer I needed, so I am sorry about that.

Actually testing 2 candles right now that are giving off a great throw now. After I got the melt pool they are doing great. My question was if I should be adding the fo at a hotter temperatue.

That's all.

wow, guess I should just throw in the towel at this huh......sorry I even asked.

I did a search and didn't find anything about the question I have!! I am currently using EZ Soy CB. I purchased my candle business and kept all the recipes the same as the old owner did. However lately for some reason I cannot get a good hot throw off my candles or tarts.

THe old owner was adding fo at 125 degrees. I continued to do the same. But from everything I am reading here, perhaps fo needs to be added at a hotter temp?? I use 1 and a half ounces per pound of wax. But I just cannot smell my candles on hot throw? anybody have any good advice for me! thanks so much. I just want to cry!!

Michele, I have a friend that sells this scent. It's popular in the winter and people beg her for it in the cold months. She gets it from Nature's Garden. HTH.

One thing that makes me wonder about wholesale requests, is it competition just seeing what i am pricing at!! I never hear back from most of them either.

Thanks for all the help! I did the freezer for 10 minutes and they popped right out!! I appreciate it so much!!

I use BCN's Pink Sugar and I like it. Haven't tried it from anywhere else though!

well thanks for the suggestions! I'll try the freezer!!

I love them! Very nice!

Love those! I think you did a great job!!

Does anybody have a good secret to removing wick pins from votives? Ughh every votive I make looks great when it comes out of the mold! Then I go to take the wick pin out and I wreck them!! I use Ecosoy pillar blend and I have to tap them really hard and break them! I spray the wick pins and mold with mold release? any tips!! TIA.

Love my heat gun!! Just keep moving it and it will do the trick!!

I use the LX also.
