I use 6% for super strong scents and 10% for all the rest. Works great for me.

I had this problem. I added 1 ounce of Crisco (or exact equivalent) to 1 pound wax and it stopped the cauliflower tops.

Put your cloth inside and using a table knife...work it around. Maybe?

I can't make Mulberry candles...they give me a migraine and I am out for days. Whenever I had a customer ask if I could do Mulberry, I simply told them how it affected me. They just chose different scents that I had. I wouldn't temp making them if it will make you feel ill. Then you couldn't tend to you other orders and family obligations. jmo

A while ago I heard something about new "procedure"...they don't have to deliver every day...only every x # of days. Can't recall the specifics. Since then it has gone slower here. Maybe never went into effect actually? Maybe just my post office? Wouldn't surprise me...and I know which teller authorized it too...

1) That you shouldn't try to make everything! Set limits.

2) Some customers will never be happy....move on.

3) That I really am talented!! Who knew?

wholesale helped me sell my products. It gave me an outlet to sell where I only had to make product at home...not "man a booth". It helped give my products "credibility". I received bigger orders due to $ minimum. example: 2 small orders at $25 each or 1 order at $100? If I was out of stock for a customer, I could refer them to a retail outlet and my wholesale customers did the same when they were out of stock. It didn't mean I lost a sale because the wholesale account would have to reorder the product. I wasn't able to wholesale all products. I had to stay retail with some and I even created some special products just for wholesale.

I buy my liquid stevia at my local health food store. Probably more expensive than online; but then I don't pay shipping that way. A bottle lasts a long time for me.

Check out this version:

Next comes "Smell-a-Vision"

I have seen other suppliers offer a low price if you buy xx amount of the same fragrance. But they didn't have such high minimum. But then you do get free shipping...how often does that happen? Shipping is expensive normally.

Fragrance oils I normally buy I pay $13 and up for. If I buy 6 oils I am up to $78 plus shipping. With Mr Missy I can get 10 fragrances and no shipping.

I've used Fo no problem. I just put a few drops on and then let it air dry on wax paper. Never had problems with it dripping.

soy tealights burn cooler. That's all I recommend when I sell tealight burners.

They only have a few shapes; but wonderful to deal with.

www.candlesupply.com under packaging, then bags.
