  1. Those are A W E S O M E !!!!! GREAT JOB!!!! You really have some creative talent!
  2. Scented with NG Butt Naked. The colors turned out very Spring-y so I renamed it Spring Break. It's a nice tropical scent and where else to go for Spring Break other than some place tropical?
  3. WooHoo!!! That looks fantastic! I knew you could do it!!! I've had layers not stick beofore too. I think I waited too long to pour the next layer and got a little stingy w/the alcohol.
  4. Yes, I do test each new FO w/each container just to be sure.
  5. I print my own labels using Avery Design Pro and labels from onlinelabels.com. Honestly with the price of the labels and insane amount of ink I go thru, that price doesn't sound all that bad. Taking into consideration the wasted labels I may have for misfeeds or whatever I know I spend WAY too much on labels. I'm looking into shrinking the size starting in the new year b/c it is really jacking my overhead up too high. Here's a sample of my label...
  6. For me personally, I only have a couple FOs that I have had to change wicking in and it's b/c they are thicker FOs. All of my others I am able to use the same in wick in the same container. I wicked up 1 size w/those FOs and haven't had any problems. I purchase almost all of my FO from 1 supplier which may also contribute to only using 1 wick size per container. I would start by testing 1 FO in 1 container with a few different wicks/sizes. See if any of them work for you and go from there. If it drowns, go a size bigger, if it soots or smokes try a size smaller. Trial and error. I started by getting a few different types of wicks and using the supplier's wick guide. I bought small packs of wicks in the recommended size, size larger & size smaller. I tested the same FO w/all the wicks to see which I prefered. Then I test that same wick w/each new FO I bought. Very rarely I would have to adjust the wick. It's not as scary as it seems!
  7. They release perfectly. No hang-up at all. I don't know the exact size...They fit the 2lb loaves of cheese in them. I cut 4.5-5.0 ounce bars out of them. I think it is the perfect size for a bar of soap. If you can't find them be sure to look all over the store. They were hanging on the end of the freezer section at my store. There were none w/the rest of the velveeta.
  8. Have you used any nasal sprays or anything that you put in your nose? We used to use Zicam all the time (not the spray just the one that was on the q-tips) and now my husband has pretty much lost his sense of smell completely. Come to find out, most medicines that are applied in your nose has loss of smell as a side effect. There was actually a class action lawsuit against Zicam b/c it happened so frequently. Of course we find this out after the case is closed!
