First of all - I could NOT resist the temptation to only buy from one supplier . . . there are so many great suppliers out there to choose from that offer different types of scents. FO HO speaking . . . . I am weak - so VERY weak

But also on a side note - keeping all your eggs in one basket isn't very wise either. A few years back I got ALOT of fragrance oils from one supplier that went out of business. It caused major chaos trying to find replacements for scents in my regular line. It was a very pricey lesson learned

That never entered my mind. Thanks for the advice!

I think I will try Peaks. Thanks for the tip. Thanks for putting up with a newbie and I hope you guys don't get sick to death of my questions.

Thanks for the advice. Just trying to get my foot in the door and I appreciate your help.

Just wondering if you had to pick a Favorite FO company who would it be and why?

Thank you guys for all of your replies. I need all the help I can get. I guess I will give violet lime a chance. Oh and I agree with the Juniper Breeze FO. It rocks!!

First, OOB I did not prefer the violet lime. Does it smell different in the candle?

Second, how long did you cure apples and maple bourbon?

Third, any suggestions on really, really strong CS FO that you have to have?

Thanks, I appreciate your time!

P.S. I use 4630...

Thank you guys for your help and Auntie S, nice suggestion. I had not thought to do that.

I am lazy...I use waxes that dont require me to heat jars...:tiptoe:

Very Smart!!!!!!!!! And jcristan, thanks for sharing.

Thanks! Glad I did not try it. I was just trying to save time.

Can you wick your jars before heating them in the oven. The lowest setting on my oven is 175 and I didn't know if this would mess the wick up. I'm sorry. I'm new. Thanks!!

Thank you so much. I appreciate it.

I too love this scent. I used it in 4630 and it had a great cold throw with little cure time. Everyone who has smelled this loved it. It is very clean. GREAT, GREAT!

Thanks for taking the time to answer me. So far I am only making candles and giving them away, but before I sold any I wanted to find out the proper procedure. I don't want to do anything wrong. I don't know how to go about finding out what my state requires, any suggestions?

I am new to candle making and so far I love it. The business side of candle making scares me to death. Can anyone tell me how much you have to sell in order for a hobby to become a small business for tax purposes? Also, just wondering how you guys knew your candle making business would succeed? Sorry for the dumb questions. I'm just starting and I'm really interested in hearing the stories of those that have gone before me. Thanks!
