  1. Kitn, thanks. Since they have been sitting on the counter for a few days they are getting firmer. New question: I went out and bought the one bite brownie mold and made another batch and it has now been 48 hours and I still can't get a square out without the corners staying in the mold. I started trying to get them out after 12 hours, and then every 12 hours after that and I have not got one perfect square yet. I have tried inserting a knife around the edges and that didn't work either. The top layer is harder but the corners on the bottom are still wet. Should it take longer than 48 hours to dry or do I need to try something else? or do I need more patience? I followed your recipe to the "T"!!!
  2. I made these last night and they are amazing, my skin feels so good. One slight problem, they are firm, but not firm enough. Where do I start? Should I add a little more m&p or ewax or you tell me. Thank you, I love this sight!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  3. I just started making Bath Fizz Balls and they are wonderful!!! I have been purchasing everything from wholesale supplies plus and was wondering if I could purchase the cornstarch and baking soda from the grocery store? Is it the same? Also, what do you guys charge for these? My fizzies are about 3 1/2 ounces.

  5. I have been reading this thread all day and it is absolutely amazing. I have my grocery list and I am ready to order the items I need to start making what looks to be amazing soap! Are we silly for getting so excited:yay:? So far at this point I have one silly question, I have found a couple of abbreviation list, but I can't find EBC. What does EBC stand for? I am sure as soon as you tell me I will realize I how silly I am, but at this point I am about to go crossed eyed and I can't figure it out.
  6. WOW!!!! 2, HTP126? That is crazy, I don't think I have ever used anything over a htp105. Thanx for the advise. I am going to try using 1 oz fo pp of 464, and wick up to a htp126, I believe I have a sample set of htps. Thanks for the advise. Curing for 2 weeks effects the scent throw, not the burn right?
  7. I have been making candles for about 3 years now. I have tested, tested, tested, and continue to test and will continue to test for rest of my candle life! I have the hardest time with cinnamon fo and drowning out. I use 464, double wick everything, use 16 oz. apothecary jars, and use 1.25 oz of fo per pound of wax. I first started with home sweet home, moved to apple jack and peel, and am now working on red hot cinnamon. With HSH i used two LX20's and had great success, then two years later they started drowning out. I got a new batch of wax, wicked up, wicked down, tried cds nothing worked so I gave up and started testing Apple Jack and Peel that didn't work, now I am working with red hot cinnamon. oh my god, i am so frustrated:confused: They usually do great for the first few test burns, but about 1/2 down it starts drowning out. I am having a hard time with cinnamon for some reason. Any informations would be totally appreciated. I have read several post on drowning but nothing on cinnamon drowning.
  8. Megfarwell you stated that you received a price from Kris with shipping at $78, what company is Kris with? and Sharon in Northern Kentucky, you stated that you are able to pick your 435 wax up. where? I am in very southern Indiana and use to pick up at alabaster in kentucky, but now that they have closed their kentucky warehouse I have to pay shipping:angry2:!!! I uses gw464. I have also heard that 464 and 435 are the exact same. What is your opinion? thank you

  10. I emailed Makers Scent Candles and the email I received stated they were unsure what brand the are, which is a little strange. I went ahead and ordered them. I will let you know if they are the same or not. Shipping to New Albany, IN was only $23.00 on 70 jars, and the jars with lids were only $1.25 if you ordered 70. If you find out were you got the lids, I would love that info, thanx.
  11. Have you noticed that the price of their fragrance oils have also gone up? I so miss Herb!!! I have found some apothecary jars at Makes Scents Candles out of Ohio, that are reasonably price. I will call them tomorrow to find out what kind they are. The shipping will be a little less because they are closer.
  12. I have always purchased everything from Alabaster because they had a warehouse in Louisville, KY (20 mins from me) now that they have closed their Louisville warehouse I have to pay shipping!!!!YUCK!!!!! And on top of that they have raised their prices!!! I am trying to locate a new supplier for my 10 and 16 ounce apothecary jars. Any recommendations for a supplier in Indiana or Kentucky?
  13. I have been selling candles for about 3 years now and am ready to get serious about the business side of things. I am not a bookkeeper, where do I start? What kind of invoicing? Paperwork do I need? Where do I start? What type of tax i.d. # do I need? Where did you guys get started? Do you have a bookkeeping program on your computer? Any help would very much be appreciated.
  14. I would love to take it off your hands if you are interested for a fair price. I would say to IM me if you are interested, but I don't know what that means (somewhat new to forums). I do have an email address - dawnatbyrnes@aol.com
