    Maybe you could just narrow down your product line so that you get the break you need, you cut your expenses, but you get to hang on to some of your customers and keep your hand in. Maybe just do tarts or maybe pick one or two jars and a few scents and simplify. Just a thought.

    I usually will use the stickums while trying to narrow down the wick. Once I have it dialed in, my final test will be with the silicone.

    Truly awesome!

    I would color code them. Just use a highlighter to color the stick part of the Qtip and them write the name of the scent on paper using that same highlighter.

    I have found that letting them sit overnight works, at least for testers.

    Actually, for me, my customers generally just like the jelly jars and other country types. I live in a cheap area though. They usually choose the biggest for the cheapest. Contemporary doesn't really sell for me. I try to keep one container available that is what I think of as "gifty." But every time I try a more "elegant" type of jar, they just won't pay the price that I have to charge to cover the cost of the jar. It is kind of discouraging.

    I use C3 and jelly jars. I used to use LX wicks but switched to Ecos because I didn't like the mushrooms. But when I used LX, I usually tested with an LX 20 first and went from there up to an LX 24. I had one scent that I used an LX 26 with. I don't remember using anything lower than LX20. I use 1.5 FO pp. On 16 oz. mason jars, one higher than the jj usually worked. HTH Deb

    I tried that one time and I ran into the very problem you are talking about. Drove me crazy. Since then I just use the same scents in all my containers. ONe thing I didn't try was to use the same scent named differently to match the more contemporary container. HTH

    Tell me that's not a dead bug, Anglelique! Otherwise, very cool. Deb

    Hey Angelique, I got my purse in the mail today and it is the cutest thing ever. It is small enough to be easy to deal with but big enough for all my stuff. Very well made. I just love it! Thanks for making it for me! Deb

    Candle Science gives a free sample of fo with every order, your choice.

    Very pretty. How about Blue Daze?

    Not all oils work in all wax combos. I now use C3 and some oils just do not throw as well as they did for me in my old paraffin blend.

    I agree that soy has many good qualities. I'm not sure I agree with the "easier to work with" part. That hasn't been my experience anyway. I found paraffin to be much more consistent. After I switched to soy, I learned a lot of new swear words. Deb

    I think its ridiculous that a common name like sugar cookie can be trademarked. I'm surprised that the word "candle" isn't trademarked. No info here, just a rant.:smiley2:

    Beautiful. I love them all.

    oooh...I'm thinking these might be for the tester swap . If so, I won't know whether to eat them or bath with them. They look so tempting. Deb

    I would try ECO 1

    I'm also a big fan of CS Very Vanilla. I've been using it for about a year and a half and haven't noticed any fluctuations. Deb
  22. deb426
    Your description of the scent makes me want to rush out and buy one :smiley2: !

    You guys must have the same customer: (See this recent thread): http://www.craftserver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=83055

    Your site is great and easy to get around. I love your pillars.

    I use C3 and I have one really heavy oil that I use Eco 12 on in an 8 oz. jelly jar. I use 1.5 pp of fo. I haven't wicked that oil in a 16 ounce yet but it would probably use an Eco 14 if I did. HTH Deb
