  1. I bought these small silver cups in the kitchen gadget isle at walmart, they would be used for side sauces etc. I think they were less than a buck for 5 or 6. They never melt and I can just wash them out and reuse over and over. They hold probably somewhere about 1 1/2 to 2 oz.
  2. Hi, I just started testing some 4 oz tins, they are about 2 1/2" diam and I am looking to use zincs in these as well. Can you help with a starting point? I was thinking 44-24-18? Does that sound about right? Thanks
  3. the worst non mixer is Bert's, which is totally terrible because it's the best smelling chocolate I have EVER had. I have even dropped the fo load to 4 % and it just looks like I'm trying to mix oil and vinegar together. Bert told me to add the fo to the wax when the wax cooled down, but that did not work either. I also tried warming the oil slightly and adding it to a hotter wax, but nothing. I have tried CS choc fudge and it's just so so and right now I am testing Peak and it's pretty good but none of them have that rich choc scent of Bert's. Any more suggestions on a RICH knock your socks off Chocolate???? Thanks evereyone
  4. Does anyone have any to sell? I have posted this in the classies as well to reach as many as I can. Sorry if I can not post this here.
  5. Hi Everyone, Can you help with a mixing problem I am having? I am testing 4 different chocolate fo's from different suppliers. I am using a parasoy preblend at 6% but 2 of the chocolates are just sinking to the bottom of my pour pot and beading up(no matter how long I mix). I am putting the fo into the melted wax @ 170 degrees and I have even slightly warmed the fo. What am I doing wrong? Any tips? Thank You
  6. swan's used to have apricot wax but I checked their site and it's gone.
  7. http://www.candledelirium.com/Cire-Trudon-Candles/ For 75.00 for 9.5 oz, they had better light themselves!!! LOL:laugh2:
  8. I have lots of fo's to trade, or how about some wicks, or 6006 or 4633 waxes?
  9. You will come out ahead in the end, the jerks always lose. It may seem like they are getting away with these things but eventually it always catches up.Your products sound beautiful.
  10. If you do , I was wondering if you could part with a sniffie. I will pay shipping. Candlewic has a 25.00 min and I do not need anything right now. Thanks black currant & cassis citrus breezes grapefruit san & sea spray teakwood tropical passionfruit Or if you have any 1 oz sizes of these I could trade something for them??
  11. I know she is still answering emails, maybe you could just ask her to send you the descriptions???
  12. http://www.molded-pulp.com/?gclid=CPfIyrmNi6QCFaTY5wod93irIQ I always thought these were cool for soaps etc!

  14. What I have found is that like any other supplier they are hit or miss. I have had some great ones and some bombs but overall they are pretty good. I HIGHLY recommend their sniffie program. You can pick 5 or 10 or whatever for a very small fee and I even think the shipping was included, this way before you spend $$ even on 1 ounce samples you can test it out. I just love that they offer that and I have noticed a few more companies doing it as well. I just did a sniffie order with SGS last week, t's great. As far as the essential oils go, I don't work with them so I can't comment on those with SOS. One thing I have to add about SOS is that their customer service was fantastic. HTH:)
  15. http://www.wagnermatch.com/box_matches.htm http://www.marylandmatch.com/geometricbox.shtml Hey Lisa, Hope these help.
  16. I tried the CS grapefruit and Mangosteen too! I do love it but found it to be quite a light throw in 4630 which is unusual, did anyone else find this to be a lighter scent?
  17. Hi I am looking for an amazing grapefruit but a little on the sweeter side maybe with a hint of berry or something sweet mixed in to cut the "bite" of straight grapefruit. Any favorites out there?? Thanks in advance:)
  18. Hi , I am testing with that exact wax and I have also tested CS Grapefruit & Mangosteen and although CS has great oils I think this particular one is very light. Why don't you try a different oil and do everything the same, you could probably wick with a htp 83 or 93.
  19. anyone else have any experience with these scents? Looks like I am going to get the card out to order some samples!
