Hi, I made a air freshener and tested it in my truck. I forgot the bag had some oil on it from testing. Anyway the oil had seeped through the bag and etched my plastic shelf in the truck. MY FAULT BUT It brought my attention to if the air freshener could seep oil when it is left in the vehicle ( in the heat) and cause the same problem. What do you think :rolleyes2 Damage it's that bad but I am glad it happened to me instead of a customer.

Hi, Has anyone ordered wicks from CAN - A - SU. Haven't ordered from them , but they have something else I need. your input :highfive: :highfive: :highfive: Brooke

Love it Love it Love it, I just love all the help on this board. Marcha Thank you so much. If I decide to not use color do you think it will hurt the sale of my candles? White really goes great with my compan's name and slogan.

Ok, WOW, How about some more confusion Ok for the wax I am working with supplier suggested to pour very cool the cooler the better to help avoid frosting Another respected tech help said: Pour hotter and preheat jars abit. How about you guys? What factors affect your soy to frost besides certain FOs.? At this point I am thinking about not coloring my candles and staying white. Thanks for your input.

Nice info. you guys, Thanks for sharing Brooke

Ok, I don't know if this is possible or not but lets try :highfive: I know that in the mist of the busy season your favorite fragrances supplier may be backorderd. So I am thinking :rolleyes2 Has anyone been happy with another supplier for the same fragrance. ( comparable) What I am trying to say If Peaks is your main supplier for say Green Tea and it is on back order. and you have to have it Do you have a comparable supplier? Maybe not in price or shipping location by to get you through the busy order time until Peaks has restocked. Just a thought. Brooke

I have emailed this company and been looking in their catalog but I can't find the information that these warmers are UL approved. Does anyone have some where you can look at the bottom to see? And get back to me. I want to make sure before I invest more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I am sure they would be. Always thankful for your help guys :highfive: Brooke

Say where do you find the bags to seal your air fresheners up at. I was wanting to use my Vacuum pack which has a heat sealer with it. Or how do you package your finished fresheners so they stay fresh? Always learning is good Brooke

Hi Beth, Yal I think my best bet is the KNUCKLEBUSTER method. I just want to get clear in my thinking how this works. for instance/ at days ended, i can take my credit card slips call them in or process through the internet site/ I think this is how it works? I was going to do a search on Propay site and Paypal site. IF anyone wants to fill me in that is great too :highfive:

Wow just got off the phone with Sam's Club Credit Card People. Man the charges were. $39.95 for a wireless unit $20.00 for monthly service fee and if you don't have any credit card processes for a month they charge you $19.95 anyway. :drool: greeeeeedy Ok scatch that one off the list/ moving on :tiptoe: Got to go for now, Second job calleth Brooke

Hi, I picked up a brochure at Sam's Club for credit card processing. Does anyone use this service? I think I will give them a call to get more information. Best Regards, Brooke

Thanks for the info. everyone I would love to add B&B products to my line. Just wanted to check on the business side on things before I jump in. See you on the next thread Brooke

Hello All, I was wondering what type of insurance is needed for B&B products? I have seen policies for Candles products but how able the liability part for body products. Is this a total different ball game? :rolleyes2 Always thanks for your time!! Brooke

Thanks to everyone for helping, :highfive: I emailed S&P about their waxes. They are going to send me a sample. Can't wait. See on the next thread Brooke

Thanks Henryk, I didn't know you can order a smaller amount from them. I never explored that far on their website. I ususally just view pricing which doesn't show the small amount. Thanks again, :highfive: :highfive: :highfive: :highfive: Brooke

Hi all, I am looking for a great wax to test for tarts. Where can I find this OK6628? I haven't heard of this one yet. So is this a paraffiin wax only? I haven't been looking at paraffins waxes yet. I would love to try to make pillar someday :rolleyes2 Wow I can't believe this is Friday already. The week has went so fast. Have a great weekend Brooke

Hi Everyone, I have never experienced the Holiday rush. How can one be best prepared on supplies. Example : Predicted sales amount :rolleyes2 I have seen a lot of supplies on back orders, out of stock . Not sure when that starts. I would hate to get a good order and than not beable to get enough supplies in So how do you handle the Holidays ?

Hello again all, Can't help it! More questions LOL What is your experiences with the different ways to dye your candles. The only thing I have used is liquid concentrated and liquid dye for soy. They have worked ok, but I don't have anything else to compare them to or know if they were causing a problem ex. clogging up the wick / What would a clogged wick look like? :rolleyes2 I know what mushrooming is but not sure about any other problems. All the colors have blended fine no seperation . Always thankful for your input Brooke

Thanks everyone for all of the great suggestions! I will get busy trying them out!! Until next time Brooke

Hi you guys, You know the reason I asked this question is during all this testing this week plus weekend, I just happen to pick a FO that is giving me a headache. It is Fresh Linen ( Lucky me ) Didn't want to change it because of comparison of waxes that I started. I'll just tough it out at this point. So thinking how it is affecting me just wondering how most customers might respond to certain FOs. How do you handle that :rolleyes2 Do you exchange that product for them ? I know for myself I would hate to spend money on something I can't enjoy Well I will get back to the assspirin :rolleyes2 LoL I mean tessssting Have a good one Brooke

Hi, When you are making tarts is the FO load the same as for wicked candles? Thinking it is but double checking Any recommendation on a wax to test or any additives needed? Not sure which wax to use that is a good thrower ? I have on hand to test Harmony Velvet 6006 the rest are to soft/ unless we mix Always thankful for you help:) Brooke
