I wanted to know what is your opinion on storing tea lights???? I make them and then store in a large vacuum sealed bag.... what do all of you do? I dont want to loose the scent........ Also, how long do tea lights last for (shelf life) any advice would be greatful THANK YOU!!!! Jennifer

Thank You for responding!!!! I have had frosting in some of my colors(not all) and all of them crack(I take the heat gun to them) but, after burning them they ALL crack again....so I guess I can not do much else about that unless I add something else to my wax mixture. thank you again Jennifer

THANK YOU ALL for all the information.......I will start keeping the finished beads in glass jars!!!!! I dont want to be wasting money that's for sure!!!!! thanks again, -Jennifer

Hello Everyone, I know this may be a dumb question, but I wanted to know if ALL SOY WAY will frost??? and will ALL SOY WAX crack??? I care more about the frosting than anything else really! I went shopping the other day and saw soy candles(so they claim anyways) a well known supplier this was. and they had no frosting or cracking on any of their jar candles, how could this be? (maybe had other wax with it?!!) I know all soy wax is different but is there one that maybe does not frost alot? I currently use 464 wax and FO and liquid dye nothing else?? anyways thank you for reading and please if you could help me figure this out I would be greatful!! THANK YOU Jennifer p.s. yes I am fairly new to the soy candle making as you can tell

THANK YOU BOTH!!! for your reply!!!!! I guess I am making more work for myself:rolleyes2 I just want the beads to last for my customers... so, I guess it does not matter how long I keep them for (as long as they are kept in a dry cool place?!) before selling. Thank you again Jennifer

Hello Everyone, I have a question about storing aroma beads. I have read threads about the different types of plastics to use, but my question is when I make them, how long do I have to sell them...is it possible to keep an inventory on aroma beads? Does everyone make them as they get the orders????I am placing the finished beads in organza bags then placing the bags in a ziplock bag and vacuum sealing them to keep the air out(does that even work)????? I buy my aroma beads from cajun and using their FO's and CS's Fo's...if anyone could help me out, I would greatly appriciate it!!! I just dont want to waste any supplies if they will not last ...TIA Jennifer
