What wax are you using ubure?  I feel like I've tried all of them at this point.

Thanks justajesuschick.  I just ordered my first (and last) scent*y bar so I can see for myself.  Ive never run into a wax with a rubber consistency.  Sounds interesting..

Thank you Barbaranj!  That does look like it.  Im going to order it and see how it works for me.

I have not had a chance to try out Scent*y yet so I was wondering.  Do their tarts pop out of the warmer once the wax has cooled off, or are their tarts the kind where you have to dump the wax out while its still melted?

Hi all,

I have been searching for this mold and was wondering if anyone here could point me in the right direction.  It is to make wax disks.  Here is a pic of the discs so you can can get an idea of what I mean.

Thanks all:)

Thank you guys.  It sounds delicious!  I will definitely try that.

I have been searching for a good lemon vanilla but have not really been impressed with any I've tried.  Can anyone recommend a good one?

Thanks!

I carry a few different bath and body items but my biggest sellers are my cp soaps.  Almost everyone gets the special which is 3 soaps for $20.

Yes, I get to feeling the same way so take 3 straight months off every year.

Hi all,

I have allot of single tarts left in various clamshells.  I am cleaning and organizing this week and what I'd like to do is take all these single tarts out of their respective clamshells and throw them all in one bag.

My question is....will having all these different scented tarts in one bag change how they smell?  I mean, the tarts mingle and all eventually have one generic smell or would they all keep their individual scent?

Thanks

Thank you so much guys, I will try the pink/little red combo.

I tried it but didnt like the feel of it on my skin..

Every time I try to make a red cp soap, the color comes out bad.  I try for a nice christmas red or cherry red and I end up getting maroon, pink, mauve, or puke color.  Can some of you soap stars here recommend a good red? 

Thanks guys

Can anyone recommend a good cinnamon vanilla?  I have tried mixing my own but am not happy with it.

Thanks

So Im moving on in testing and am going to test the htp wicks.  The jar im using has a diameter of 3.1 inches and I'd like to try double wicking it.  I have both cb 135 wax and gb 464.  Can someone recommend a starting point for double wicking this jar with htp's?

Thanks

I was just wondering if anyone here uses the gb 416 votive wax for their tarts?  If so, how do you like it?  How does it compare to the ecosoya pb tart wax?

I have ecosoya pb available to me locally but have a supplier that sells the gb 416 about an hour from my house.  I think the hour drive is worth it if its a better wax than the ecosoya pb.

Thanks

Hi all,

I am thinking of trying this wax out but I don't want to order a slab if I have already tried it in the past.  I wish they listed what kind of wax it is.  Does anyone happen to know?

Can someone tell me when does candlewic have sales on shipping?  Is it on a regular basis or only once or twice a year?  Is it free shipping or just discounted?

Thanks

Hi all,

I just wanted to give a heads up to anyone that wants to try out and compare the walmart tarts against there own.  Right now (at my walmart) they have a huge bin in the center isle filled with clamshells.  They are the better home and garden brand.  They are only $2 and throw like there's no tomorrow. 

Just though id let ya'll know since $2 is a pretty amazing price i think.

Hi bombdiggybabe,

I too have been trying to get the spinning, floating, colorful bath bomb like L*ush.  I've tried for about a year now with a ton of different recipes and while my bath bombs are good...they just arent as good as lush.  Ive tried upping the citric, but they didnt seem to help.  I can get mine to float and color the water but i cant get them to spin.  Sorry i couldnt be of more help.  If you ever find a solution, I would love to know!

I have used vanilla fragrances in bubble bars and yes they go a very ugly shade of brown.  I actually had a customer say that the bubble bars remind her of road apples!!  I love my vanilla fragrances but I just dont use them anymore for bubblebars because while i dont mind the stabalizer in soap...I dont want to be soaking in it.

Is it my imagination or are the zip lock bags I store my tarts in sucking the fragrance out of them?  I've been storing tarts in gallon size zip lock bags and it seems that after a couple of months, the tarts are smelling more like soy wax then the fo that is in them.  I do keep the scents in their individual bags so their is no co-mingling of the scents.

Ive been searching for a great Orange FO for awhile now.  Ive tried orange sherbert from NG and I just dont care for it.  Ive also tried mandarin orange from sweetcakes and its okay.

Im looking for a fresh, juicy orange scent.   Any recommendations?

Thanks

pixie

Does anyone know where I could find pots like these...I love the look of them but have not found them anywhere.

Hi all,

Does anyone know where I can find jars similar to these?  I've been looking for awhile now but have not had any luck.

Thanks
