  1. Who has the best true to heart lavender fragrance oil? Help!!!
  2. Thank you both. Old Glory for some reason I thought it would help with spots but it does not so no more heating for me. Thank you both.
  3. I am so tired of heating my status jars and I still have spots. I really really really want to not have to do this. Does anyone pour the soy wax into unheated jars. Please tell me you do and that they look beautiful. I am going to be making over 100 jars tomorrow and it is so time consuming to heat and then stick wick in heated jar. Help.
  4. Candybee...It is a round Masterbuilt Turkey fryer. It is older and I am not sure you can get these anymore unless you try ebay. I purchased mine about 8 years ago...to fry a turkey... I never did fry the turkey but when I started making candles recently I saw other post and decided to try it. It is wonderful. I have made 36 9 ounce candles in the last two hours. Love it! Thank you justajesuschick. I will now fill it to the brim.....almost.
  5. This might be a silly question since wax is not frying oil, but does anyone fill their turkey fryer above the recommended fill line? In otyher words how much wax to the max do you put in? Thanks for all reply's. I love this turkey cooker!!!!!!<3
  6. The Flaming Candle in Dallas Georgia carries it. I ordered from them last month and they are fast shipping/.
  7. I have become a little concerned about my soy candles. I put one in my bathroom a couple weeks ago and the commode was covered in black stuff. I cleaned it up and thought surely that is not from my candle which was several feet from the white porcelain. Then I put another one in the same are yesterday. Different scent, different wick. Well lo and behold the white porcelain was again covered in black smut. Does anyone else have this problem? I see evidence of the black soot sometimes in the air vents. When my air conditioner man came recently to change my filters he said I can tell you burn candles. You have soot in your filters. Ok here is the nitty gritty on this. I probably burn a candle no more than 4 or 5 hours a week in total. I am concerned now because I don't want the soot on my wall hanging/paintings and large portraits of family. Then today I noticed the carpet in the threshold of a bedroom that I rarely use and keep the door closed. A black line was in the area under the door. I love making candles and I do sell them on a limited basis also. Is anyone else noticing this and should I be concerned. If I have this much soot from my limited candle burning imagine what folks that burn them all the time have. I will say my place is very open and light so I can probably see it better than people that may not have all the windows and bright natural light that I have.
  8. I purchased sample wicks from them and 10 sample fragrance. I poured on Tuesday and will be testing in another week. I will give a review. So far ct is good. I used 1 oz pp. I am also testing some from Peak that I made at the same time. I will report back when I burn. The shipping is very fast.
  9. OBTW one of the samples I received was the Lemon Danish and it smells divine.
  10. I have used CS for years and some from NG. I just ordered samples from Flaming but the scents are weak. I got a pack of 10 today from Peaks and they smell very strong. They included a note that said 1/2 oz. pp is usually sufficient. I have been adding about 1 1/2 ounces of the other company scents and still don't seem to be getting much of a throw. Anyone that uses Peaks scents in 464 please let me know how much you use pp. I don't want to over scent the candles.
