  1. I am sure she will be fine. Our new cat (3 mths) did the same thing, the DAY we brought her home. Jumped into a burning candle, crazy--but kittens are very curious. She hid for a while, but I found her and got off most of the wax. She is fine now, and no harm was done. I think it irritated her foot, but she was fine.
  2. Mine is coming, but I heard that it was very nice on another board. Sorry that is all I know right now!
  3. I second FOH, it is excellent, and a great seller year round for us.
  4. I love JS's version! You can't go wrong, and her Cranberry Orange is also dynamite!!! I used to use the BCN version, and switched over this year, I like this one more, and so do our customers.
  5. Some soy waxes do seep oil. The only fixes I know of are to try heating the oil before adding it to the wax, mixing very well, or using less oil. I switched from ADM to JS soy for this very reason. Many heavy oils tend to do this, and it is so random at times. Very frustrating. My last batch of ADM (before finally having enough of this wax), I had three dozen candles of Black Cherry Bomb and 4 dozen Vanilla Buttercream Crunch, that seeped. Rarely happened in the past, but I found that this last shipment of ADM almost all my heavier oils were seeping, and the wax was performing differently. I am now using JS soy and it is doing great! Good Luck!
  6. I recommend Just Scent, too. Her oils are outstanding and she has an excellent sale right now. Also Ky is another winner, I use most of her oils!
  7. I order mine from this candlemaker, and it is the exact scent from JGB MissAlyce@aol.com. Give her a try!
  8. I use soy and just got in 4 boxes of oils, I will be pouring samples tonight, and then I can report back. Of the scents I used previously, here are the strong ones-- Christmas Splendor Mulberry Spice Cranberry--all of them! Cinnamon Nutmeg and Clove Pumpkin Spice Warm Winter Pleasures Extra Spicey Spice Cookie ( my new gingerbread) Festival of lights Cinnamon Vanilla My Secret Recipe Egg Nog Apple Butter Ok, there are more, but these scream holiday to me
  9. Another vote for KY's Icy peppermint. IT is wonderful!
  10. I use these at 8-9 % in my soy. But I don't normally use any scents (even WYW or CC) at 5-7%. Some soys just don't work with some FO's. What soy are you using?
  11. My favorite is Keystone Candles --formerly King House---Banana Crumb Cake, it excellent
  12. I have several oils that are also over three years old, and they are great. I keep mine ina huge cupboard in the dark. I think that helps:)
  13. KY's is awesome! I also like the mulberry from JS, different from KY, but very strong throw in soy.
  14. I use SS's, and it is very nice in our soy and 50/50. Great scent!
  15. I highly recommend the Pryme Colors from Daphne at www.Barnloftcandles.com She also has a great additive for frosting called frostop. We had a thread going last week about it. She is great to work with and I love these dyes, I have all three lines. Awesome results without the terrible odor associated with liquid dyes.
  16. This one is really great, I love it. Definately changes in wax. Strong throw, too.
  17. Hi, I notice this as well, it starts every year when the temp drops. I just keep my shop around 72 while I am pouring, and it helps quite a bit. I am sure that is what is happening for you, too. I was so frustrated when this first started happening, and couldn't figure out what it was. Also, we get tunneling and huge air pockets in our candles if the shop is too cool. Soooo, we just keep it warmer out there while the candles are setting up, and it's all good. I also have issues in the extreme heat of the summer, too. I have about a month where I cannot pour candles unless I do it in our house, which isn't going to happen--LOL. Our shop just cannot cool down enough for me to pour anything saleable in that timeframe. My candles just look like crap if I pour in that heat! Soooo, we just pour extra for that time and plan ahead.
  18. Yeah, if you have others commenting too, I don't know what the issue would be. Some scents just don't throw well in certain waxes. I used to use the 6006, and found the same as Trish, that many scents didn't work in it for me. I wouldn't go down to 5%, that would probably not help matters, but maybe 9%. I never pour over 9% in any of my waxes and get an awesome throw. I have used these oils in ADM pure soy, KY 125, JS 50/50, JS 123, and JS soy. All had great throws. Good Luck
  19. Love this company. Gena has a wonderful scent line. Here is what we use: Fresh Baked Cookies Island Mango chocolatte Island Pear Twigs and Berries Mountain Berry Cake Orange Cake Orange Spice Peach Sensation They are all strong in soy and 50/50
  20. Those are extremely impressive, I haven't seen anything close. Good Job!
  21. Yes, I really love JS. I used to carry scents from MANY companies, and now we are down to mainly JS and a few others. Everytime she comes out with a new group of scents, we are able to eliminate another company--it's great. Becky has a great nose, and she consistantly chooses strong oils.
  22. I get a great throw in paraffin, 50/50 and soy---could you have candle nose? At 10% these scents (VBC, UV) should be blowing down your doors. I sell the heck out of these scents. Others I recommend are: Berrie Buttercream Bazooka Bubblegum (the best) Banana Daquiri apricot freesia baby magic baby powder berrilicious black cherry--extremely strong! brown sugar pecan--my new favorite scent! EXCELLENT!! chestnuts and brown sugar Nutty Spiced Vanilla--super strong buttermint candy buttercream icing caramel apple--the best!! chocolate peanutbutter brownies christmas cookie cinnamon rolls with cream cheese icing CJ's cinnamon donuts cinnamon nutmeg and clove cinnamon cider--the best! citrus linen cinnamon red hot cinnamon vanilla coffee cake and spice clean cotton country kitchen all the cranberry scents--more personal favorites! cupcake creme de la creme extra spice cookie fizzy pops fresh pineapple slices frozen berry blizzard fruit slices--super strong grapefruit vanilla twist Hot buttered rum hot chocolate Ultimate Vanilla Victorian Vanilla Lace (in 50/50 and paraffin) key lime pie maple pecan totally scrumptious lilac mojito cocktail my secret recipe eggnog nana's apple butter perfect pear pumpkin pie spice raspberry vanilla creme sandalwood rosemary mint (more mint than rosemary) vanilla buttercream crunch
