  1. WOW those look great, they might not be what you had in mind but seriously they look fantastic. I really love the last one, what scent is it? Or did I miss it?
  2. Here you go. http://www.suppliersbystate.com/state-listings.php It has the suppliers listed by state. HTH
  3. Hey I dont make M&P yet but I just did a search for packaging and found a few other threads on this. http://www.craftserver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79515 http://www.craftserver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=71424&highlight=packaging http://www.craftserver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45951&highlight=packaging And here are so more, this is the results I got from searching. The search tool can be your best friend, sometimes and give you a headache other times. http://www.craftserver.com/forums/search.php?searchid=1249280 HTH you some.
  4. It was one drop per OZ, I had to go back and re-read it because I was thinking the same thing.
  5. I dont know what price you are going for but that website does wholesale pricing also. I just click on the 55lb bag - XXL in the drop down box and their wholesale pricing came up. HTH
  6. Very pretty colors, I cant wait to see it cut!!!
  7. Is this right??? I dont make CP soap but does it really take 2 years to cure some? Or is this just some testing you are doing to see what the outcome is? I read somewhere that some can take 6 months and some up to a year (very few) but 2 years is crazy (to me, but again I am uneducated so I really dont know). Thanks
  8. I have been doing this ever since I saw you talking about it awhile back. And I dont even have my soap yet. But I am well prepared. I think I have about 8 paper towel rolls, and about 10 tp rolls. We use a lot of PT and TP around here. I am trying to cut down on the PT and use rags instead but old habits die hard. Well thanks for the ideas.
  9. I would like to know too!!! I was going to try it also, but I wasnt going to pour scrap soap in it I was just going to fill it up wait for it to harden and then use it in my mold. By the way that soap look fantastic, It reminds me of the galaxy. It is really cool looking.
  10. These are very cool looking!! Great job!!!
  11. I would try, for that diam, double wicking. But have you tried the biggest CD wick, or any of the others? I hate double wicking and that is one of the reasons I switched jars. The thing to look for on the last half of the candle is to make sure the melt pool doesnt get to deep, the jar doesnt get to hot, no black soot on the jars, flame stay a nice height (not to small, not to big), doesnt flicker too much, i think this is about it. when it is all done, what I shoot for, you want a jar that is pretty clean on the sides, no nastiness on the rim of the jar, I like for the little bit of wax that is left to still be the same color (no black stuff in it), the jar to be able to be picked up without burning myself. The reason people say to wick for the last half of the jar is because everything can change in the last half, so really you want to have a safe candle. I hope this help and sorry if it doesnt make since I am really tired, off to bed.
  12. Those look great, I love the colors you used. They really really go great together.
  13. OK I found a recipe that I am wanting to try out once I get my pre-buy soap, and it calls for Lanolin in it. I was wondering if this is the same stuff that I already have from when I was breastfeeding my daughter? In the ingredients it says 100% lanolin (ultrapure medical grade, USP modified lanolin). Would this be the same thing? The recipe just says 2 TBSP lanolin. This is a recipe for 1 lb of m&p soap. I am not really sure if there is an lanolin oil out there, this stuff is more like a lotion but with the consistencies of a lip balm. I remember once in the past when I had severe (I mean they were really bad and bleeding all over) chapped lips my Dr. told me to put some of it on my lips and sure enough by the next day they were almost back to there normal self. So anyways I was just wondering if I could use this stuff I already have or is this really something else? Thanks!!!
  14. Wow, I think those colors look great. And that shiny gold looks fantastic with that purple. I like it even more now than the first pictures. Great lookin soap.
  15. I dont use your wax or that FO, so I might not know what I am talking about. But to me it seems your wick is to big. For my jars that are 2.5" (when I was doing just soy, 415 & EL) I used a CD 8 and I colored my candles. So I would say wick down and see what happens. Also did you trim the wick? So times if you dont trim it properly the droppings will get into the wax and make it look nasty. Well I hope this helps some and sorry if it doesnt. GL
  16. Yeah I went again today and still couldnt find them, and no one knew what I was talking about??? So I just gave up.
  17. I love the way the swirls look. Great job, love the color.
  18. Very, very nice. Great job, cant way to see it cut up!!!
  19. http://www.craftserver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=78454 Here check out this link which has great dipped bears. They are air fresheners, just to look pretty and smell good. HTH
  20. I am trying to deal with this same problem, but I am using 75% soy and 25% paraffin. I started out pouring at 165 and now I am down to 125. The tops look a lot better but I still have to use a heat gun. So I plan on pouring more either today or tomorrow going lower to see how it goes. What I do right now is right before I pour my candles I take the heat gun and heat the outside if the jars (because I dont like the look of the wax melting off of the wick) until they are really hot, pour wax slowly, tap the jar with my wooden spoon to get air bubbles out, center wick and let set up. I am trying my hardest to get the right pouring temp without having to cover the candles (I just dont have the space to do this, and frankly I wont to avoid doing this). So please if you find the right temp can you please share it with me, and I will do the same.
  21. Could you make spider man crayons? Not really sure how you do it but I heard it was easy. Or maybe spider man soap. Or even spider man candy. Sorry but this is all I can come up with. HTH
