after a few days the shoe polish smell goes away and the scent of the candle comes through. if using liquid dye, the smell and transfer goes away after a few days too...
-
same here! works great.

BCN is where we purchase ours
-
with EZ-Soy, i don't use any additives...but i like to mix j-50 or j-223 to get the benefits of both waxes, and a smoother look.

it's been a while, but i think fromnaturewithlove.com/ carried it.

chestnut and brown sugar is da bomb in tarts! i have tried several and have been pretty happy with a lot of them: iris & fern apple & clover citrus & teakwood ancient musk brown sugar & fig ginger bergamot oakmoss & clary sage peanut butter cup tea leaf & jasmine -
we bevel the edges and use a stamp, which can make it look more appealing. different customers like different looks....i even have a few that prefer a 2x2x4 bar
-
you can try rubbing liquid dye or cake shoe polish.

vanilla sandalwood chocolate tobacco cherry

i use regualr cocoa butter or deodorized...at only 1 oz. per pound in a batch, it doesn't interfere with the fo.
-
the only time i put the pin inside, is if i am doing chunks and want the chunks sticking out of the top...
-
does anyone carry this? i can't even find it in the candle anymore; and i absolutely love this one!
-
love this one too, with cc's vanilla voodoo as a second.
-
my recipe consists of coconut oil, rice bran oil, palm oil, avocado oil, and 3 oz. of cocoa butter in a 3 # batch, and i love it! it's a hard bar, lathers great and doesn't get gummy in the soap dish.
-
i stick a piece of packing tape that is a little bit longer around them, works like a charm!
-
what do you mean?
-
2 labels here....the back label has directions for use and cautions, ingredients and contact info.

i would look at these places too: http://www.sugarcraft.com/ http://www.streichs.com/ http://www.candymoldcentral.com/

BCN's closeout chocolate brownie. i made some soy melts from a sample and mann, did they throw! i had one in a tart warmer that was throwin in my kitchen for 4 days after it had solidified. and that surprised the heck out of me. .....second would be BCN's hot cocoa, but it's more of a cocoa and cream scent...
-
either they are containers...which i just bought some red and pink ones from the dollar bins at target ...or, i think they look like they are all wax. to bring out the lettering, just paint it with a light color. could be chocolate molds ...i would try searching with key words like heart box mold, or heart trinket box mold
-
don't feel bad...i did it with m&p when i first started playing with it. lol!
-
the water park is just a minute away from the MOA...lake minnetonka is a great fishing lake, but it's about 20 minutes west. it's the biggest one with lots of channels.
-
that's an odd recipe to me. silica is designed to absorb oils so they don't seperate out( like in a sugar scrub) but they stay wet. i would stick to all dry ingredients, except the fo of course. epsom salts, sea salts, dendritic salts, even a bit ofbakind soda make a nice bath soak. the variety of grain sizes is nice. or stick to one med/small grain salt, which also looks very nice.

taylored concepts has one.

For All You WOOD WICK People!!!!
Laura replied to celicagtca's topic in General Candle Making Discussions
my question is..if these are so great...why didn't people way back in the old days use wood for wicking. they must of had a good valid reason for not doing it. i don't even want to try these. all i need is one wrong sue happy customer to get ahold of one. what if the wick tips before getting down far enough and continues to burn and it heatrs up the container enough to make it crack? no way for me!
