Thank you so much!!!! Yes, I meant mottles more. I layer and pour starting at 180, then 190, and then around 195 to 200 on the 4045. I used the same temps with the 1274. In your experience what temp do you pour at? Would you suggest going up or down on the temp? I am not using any additives in the 1274, just the FO and liquid color. I also read somewhere the slower they cool the better so maybe I need to try putting a box or something over the mold. Thanks again so much. I love the 4045 but the shipping is absolutely killing me. I can get the 1274 with a much more reasonable shipping charge so that is why I am trying it out.

Wonder what makes the 4045H mottle so much better??? Anyone have an idea? Wonder if it is the oil content?? Just curious if anyone has tried adding more oil to the 1274????? IMO the difference is like night and day.

BC used to carry this scent but no longer does. Does anyone know of a place that has it or something similar?? TIA

Does anyone know of a place that sells small ceramic or poly resin candle containers/pots, similar to the bamboo pots that are so popular right now?? I have hunted and hunted and can find nothing. Or something terra cotta perhaps, or anything really that is semi-unusual??? TIA.

Thanks again!! I had tried upping the Vybar a while back and it still bled. I have been wrapping in a paper towel but thought I was just wasting FO. I have not tried the stearic but have some so I will definitely try that. And I do leave off the vybar 343, right? Thank you so very much.

Thank you all so much. That is very helpful. So basically, vybar and stearic do the same thing as far as scent throw and bleeding? I use 4045H and am having horrible bleeding all of a sudden. I make sure I heat to 180 before adding FO at 5% and then backing down to 4%, stir well with a whisk to heat temp, and wa-lah........bleeding and sweating like crazy. I was using Vybar 343 and just thought maybe stearic (and/or) might help. Thanks again!!!!

Does anyone know if when using a mottling wax if you add stearic will it stop the mottling? Thanks very much. Also, if you use the Vybar, would you also add stearic or would you be contradicting by using both? Thanks!!

I would definitely buy one!!! It is beautiful.

The material is very pretty. I love the bright colors. I think they will do well.

It is definitely addicting. You just keep adding, adding, and perfecting. I have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Good luck. My hubby and I do it and it is so fun, especially the selling part, craft shows, wholesale, etc. Anyway, keep posting on how you are doing and ask anything you might like to know. Everyone is very helpful on this board.

I detest trying to come up with labels/hang tags. Those are cute though. I think maybe a touch darker font to contrast with the border but other than that I think they look great!!! Bear in mind I am still looking for that "wow" tag myself!!

Yes, maize is that brownish yellow. I tried a tiny bit of orange and almost got it but not quite. I am loving your recipe with the honey and yellow. I will try that. I just love that color. I use so much of it that it would be more economical to get the liquid and I almost swear that I saw it offered somewhere. Anyway, thanks you all!!!

I do a lot in burgundy and reds and they are finicky in this wax. They tend to bleed almost every time, some more than others, even with the vybar, but not as much. But, this could just be a mind thing. Thanks.

Thanks Scented. I have tried it with and without, and if anything, it holds the color a little better......maybe, IMO!!

Oooooooooh!! I want to shop too!!!! Beautiful store. Everything is displayed so nicely. Yes, one could spend hours in there definitely!!

Sorry. I guess I worded it wrong. When used with mottling wax it is supposed to increase the fragrance load by 1-2%, like the other vybars for container and pillar waxes. This is specially formulated for mottling wax only, supposedly. Thanks.

Has anyone tried this with their mottling wax? I use it but cannot decide if it helps or not all that much. I was just wondering if anyone else was having much luck with it.

Thank you Jeana. I have that cream (love it and love their colors) but that Maize is a touch more yellowish. I wonder what with what makes it? I saw on one site that a touch of orange makes it????? I will try that as a last resort but I am thinking ORANGE????? Thanks again.

Does anyone know who sells this in a liquid dye???? I can find chips but no liquid. As a last resort, what makes maize color?? TIA

Thanks. That was what I thought, but was hoping......I did try and made it worse I think. UGH!!! Thank goodness they are the "lesser priced" equipment we use.

Uh, make candles...........then housework. If no time left over, wellll.....hahahaha IMO.

If a mold makes a scratch on a pillar when removing it, is there anyway to fix it or should you just chunk it? My 3 x 9.5 pillar mold scratches the devil out of my pillars when I remove them. It is on the rim, just a tiny dent. Thanks for any advice. I am sure if it can be fixed, someone here will know.

OH the tins sound nice too, especially with the elementary groups. Thanks so much.

Ohhhh. Thanks. Those are excellent ideas, especially the aroma beads!! Thank you so much!!!

Is there some way to showcase your oils? I have a lot of customers who are wanting to smell before buying. It is not economical to take a candle in each scent, etc. Can any of you recommend something? Do they make something to use? Thanks in advance!!
