I saw that JS has clamshells. Has anybody tries them and how is the quality. I missed out on the clamshell co-op and thought I might try these.

I am going to try my hand at doing this, Where do you get your bears from and how much do they cost?

I am just getting started in wholesaling and I was wondering what I shoud include in my wholesale packet besides a letter of introduction and wholesale prices. Any advice is appreciated.

I think I posted this question on the wrong site. Here goes. I would like to know where to get wooden roses. I noticed that there was a co-op on them but that it is over. I would appreciate it if anyone could direct me to the site that I could purchase them. Thanks

Anyone ordered from Connie's Candles?
Ingrid replied to cherokeemaiden's topic in Fragrance Discussion
I have order many of her scents and have not been disappointed. i would say that other than her french vanilla crunch, all the scents have great scent throw. -
I have used the fragrance oil enhancer from C&S . The formula is 50/50. It has been very successful for us. I have been testing these since the summer and have had great success. Ingrid

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. I want to start making 6 cavity clamshells and was wondering who has the best price on the 6 cavity (approx 3 oz) hinged lid clamshells. Any info would be appreciated.

I see becky has a great sale going on - I use J50 wax and have not had the greatest success with scent throw with a few of her scents. Does anybody have favorite scents that they have used successfully with J50 wax. Thanks

Its too bad when a soy candlemaker has to bash a parrafin candlemaker. by saying" regular candles are petroleum-based, therefore giving off the harmful black soot that contaminates the air we breathe as well as staining our walls and windows." This quote was in our local paper yesterday under new business in our area. I would think that someone who has faith in their product would be speaking about the positive side of their product and not knocking someonelses. Takes all kinds to make a world

Has anybody used this wax for their electric candles or votives? I just tried this because it is supposed to me translucent and I thought it would be nice in the electric candles. I made my first one last night and am having difficulty with white spots and an oily feel to the candle. I guess I used too much fo and that I can take care of. the white spots have me confused becaused I heated the wax to 200degrees, used christmas splendor fo, poured at 185 into my grubby mold. did all the same things as when I use 4794 -- HELP, I hate to waste this wax.

How are AH fragrances in parrafin? I use J50 and 4704 wax. I know that some fragrance suppliers throw in soy better than in parrafin. Thanks
-
Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanks so much, I assume you all use parrafin and not soy.

Has anyone purchased fragrance oils from Tennessee Candle Supplies and how do you like them. I use J50 wax and was wondering about their oils.
-
I opened a case of J50 wax and it was cream colored rather than the normal white. I made candles anyway and now testing the batch find out that there is very little scent throw. Has anyone had a problem with the J50 wax. I am going to try and return it to candles & supplies as it is only 2 cases out of 10 that I purchaed. Too bad because the 2 cases that are cream colored were the only different batch #'s Oh well, live and learn

A customer of mine has requested a scent called Raspberry Patchoulli that Pier I used to carry but has discontinued. Does anyone know of who might carry a dupe of this scent?
-
What wax do you use that you get such great scent throw? I use J50 and have not been successful with Just Scent. I find that C&S is hit and miss and so far have been using connies candles but I would like to expand my horizons.
-
I use 4794 for my electric candles. That is the wax suggested when my daughter took the class last year. What hurricane wax are you refering to and where do you get it?
-
Am looking for a great vanilla fo. I use J50 was and 4794 for tarts and votives. Have been using Fr. Vanilla from Connies Candles and its ok. I am looking for a GREAT vanilla. Any suggestions????

I tried using christmas wreath in J50 wax and was not successful in getting a hot or cold scent throw., It was also a very difficult scent to wick. The smell ob is very nice but I can't get a scent throw. I understand that a lot of her oils do very well in soy. Maybe that is the secret to this scent. Good luck
-
When I took the candle out of the mold I remelted it and stirred and stirred and still the second time the oil did not mix completely. I will have to get in touch with Becky I guess. I just seem to be having trouble with Becky's scents.. The other scent, christmas wreath I can't get a good melt pool or a good scent throw. Oh well, not everything goes well all of the time.

I am using 4794 wax and JS OXYGEN to make an electric candle. For the life of me I cannot get this oil to blend. I brought the temp up to 200 degrees, added 2 drops of liquid dye and stirred and stirred. When I undid the mold there was some oil on the bottom of the candle. Is there a trick to this fragrance oil. Help.

I just got my banner for my table and I am at a loss as to what to use to display it at my table. It is 2X4 with three grommets at the top. I would appreciate any help

my experience with JS fo's is that the scent description seems to refer to scent throw in soy and B&B. I have purchased js fo's and tried them in parrafin. I use j50 for my containers and 4794 for my votives and tarts. I find that the scent throw from js fo's aren't as good as other suppliers. Could be that they throw better in soy or it is just me.
