Thanks ! I will check that link- have a great day.

I am going to try making melt & Pour soap- I have seen some great recipes on here but many of them just say add F/O -any idea how much is a good starting point?

baby Oatmeal- Thanks ladies I never would have thought about that!

Thanks- now I know where to start!

What kind of Oatmeal should be used- regular.quick cooking,instant. or colloidal? Thanks!

I Bought a 50 lb box of C-3 a little over a year ago and all I got was frosting and I don't mean a little- I mean the whole jar- also sink holes were a mjor issue- I went back to plain 415!

I am looking for a supplier of 8oz square mason jars- one close to Illinois would be great! Thanks:)

Thanks- I think I am going to give this a try!

I think your soaps look wonderful- did the honey make them that color or did you add color?

Thanks for these liknks- I am off to take a look! Brandyanne

Thes are not the jars- but I do really like them- the ones I saw are similar but have ribbing on them and the lid is rusty brown metal with a ring I believe.

I can not get this to work- the pic is in my documents- the insert image button keeps asking for the URL of the pic- I can e-mail it to anyone that knows how to post it. Brandyanne

I am going to see if I can post the picture that I have- never done it before so iI hope it works!

Does anyone know what these jars are? help!

Does anyone know a supplier for lantern jars. Thanks!

I have used C-3 in the past and bear in mind that all types of soy wax can develope frosting but after I swithched to 415 plain soy I rarely get frosting. for me every candle poured with c-3 had major frosting issues. I personally won't ever use it again.

Thanks - I did not know about flat rate shipping- I think I have a lot to learn yet!

Thanks Angela- I think I probably will weigh but I need to purchase a bigger scale! Thanks

Hello- I will soon be opening a website for selling candles & melters but I have no idea how to dermine shipping charges - do most of you charge flat rate? actual rate? Offer special rates for large orders? Any help will be appreciated- Thanks!

I have seen some Bean Pod candles in area store so about a year ago I deciced to take the lid off of one- the first thing I noticed was the wick was not centered and looking closer I did see some frosting.Even the big guys have some issues!

I remelted these and poured at 165- put a box on top of them so they would not cool too quickly and got the same results- sink holes and major frosting! I think after testing the GW44 and GW449- I have decidie to stick with 415 plain soy- it is a lot less finicky and has always worked well for me.

Thanks so much for starting this thread- I have only used two suppliers but I now will try some new ones!

Forgot to add I poured at 155- the ones without color were wonderful! Smooth tops no holes- did not work with color for me!

Over the past few weeks I made three GW449 testers in three different scents WITHOUT color. Last night I did two more both in a purple color so they had a lot of dye- one set uo very chunky looking and the other had a small simk hole. When I used the heat gun on the sink hole I realized it was a huge crater! Both have frosting on almost the entire jar!

I am poring my first tester of 449 tonight - I think I will pour at 165- this seems to be the consensus so far.
