    If you can't find someone here, maybe try Elance. They have lots of reasonably priced talented people.

    Lots of FO's contain some component of vanilla, and that will darken over time naturally. It doesn't affect the odor of the oil, just the color. It will also darken the wax a little bit, so you need to adjust your dye amount.

    You can find better quality at much better prices elsewhere online.

    I got Salty Sea Air and Burnin Love Cinnamon. I put both in soy and the Salty Sea Air is STRONG. Whew. Go light on it! I love it. The cinnamon is really good also.

    I use the 464 with cotton wicks. Couldn't be easier.

    I make a Cyclo spray with about 5% Artisan's Perfume base (alcohol) to give a cooling/evaporating effect. It works great! I don't sell it though - just make it for personal use.

    Did you call to ask them the stock status? White "dye" is really nothing more than titanium dioxide in a carrier. Be careful to not use too much - it will clog the wick.

    Looks like they have some sample packs now available: http://rusticescentuals.com/Specials-and-Discontinued-Items/

    You can put it in a hot water bath to warm it if you prefer.

    I had trouble incorporating the AHRE Celtic Moonspice. I called and they told me to warm the FO in the microwave (warm, not hot). I did this and it mixes like a charm!!! Have you tried warming the FO before mixing?

    If you get wax at Michael's, it's a straight paraffin. You'll need additives for the fragrance oil to bind with the wax. Stearic Acid is used to harden the wax and you'd use about 1/2 - 1 tablespoon per pound of wax (by weight, not volume). Vybar helps bind the FO to the wax as well as enhancing the scent's hot throw. You'll need to use about 1/2 teaspoon per pound of wax.

    There is not going to be a 100% "natural" candle. No matter what wax you use - soy, paraffin, beeswax, palm, etc. - they've all been processed and refined. They are no longer a 100% natural product. You can *try* to use EO's with wax, but typically EO's do not throw well in candles.

    Paraffin needs to cure at least 1 day.
