This is a good thread for newbies! These things should stay at the top. Even though I'm new to this I made sure I didn't put ANYTHING in my candles except wax chunks because I didn't know what was safe and what wasn't.

What is the MOST FO you can put per lbs of wax and is there a FO best brand or company to order from? I'm new to making candles. I find the stuff at the craft store (HobbyLobby, etc..) is about along the lines of the wally world of candle scents!!! I'm guessing those brands are cut with something. So far the candles I've made are very pretty but stink and smell like wax. I'm having the same problem with the die chips/blocks. Not much color at all so I'm guessing there has to be something way better!!

I'm heading to the dollar store!

That's WONDERFUL!!!!! I love the idea!!

Ummmm.... VERY much so! I'm sure it was just a mistake on there part. I'd call them and ask it a very nice voice what happen.

:lipsrseal I live in the south Texas area and was affected by Hurricane Ike too. Heck! My fence still isn't up yet!! He should not have acted that way on the phone but think about it from his point of view. His business may be falling apart and what about the guys home. Did it get flooded? He's under a lot of stress and insurance companies are dragging their feet. I'm not saying that the way he talked to you on the phone was correct. From his point of view he has money (sales) being held over his head and he's losing the sales. If he's a good supplier I'd keep using him as soon as he gets things back in order. Maybe he didn't post a note on his website because the area was out of power for OVER 3 WEEKS!!! Maybe he uses a webmaster and couldn't get his webmaster to add the info because the webmaster had things going on. Please don't be mad at me for posting this.. Also, I don't think you did anything wrong by ordering form someone else.. you couldn't get in touch with him.
