here is one that I love personally!

Lavender

chamomile

rose petals

The aroma is sensational. It almost puts me to sleep, very relaxing!

I would try rubbing them with a dry paper towel, it will smooth them out and make them shiney. Also make sure you pour your wax at a hot enough temp

I prefer the creamy container waxes as opposed to the harder waxes that you have to add to. I love J223! It has great scent throw and I use zinc core wicks. I haven't had a bad candle yet.

Terri

I have done that before. What i do it put the candle into the oven on a low setting, wait for it to melt, then I add extra color to it. It works everytime. I hope this helps!

Terri

I use j223 and I really like it. It takes almost all my fragrances very well and has a great scent throw. I really don't know much about soy. I have used enchanted lites container soy before and it seems to work pretty well.

Terri

For my wickless candles I use the canning jars and container wax. They turn out very well. I don't cure my candles, never have and they smell wonderful. Just test, test, test, you will eventually find your way.

Have a Great day!!

Terri

I just use the plain ol canning jars that you buy at walmart. The take the heat very well. I have never had any problems with those.

I hope this helps, Terri

I never thought about adding gel, then embeds, then gel, then embeds. I am not even the person who started this thread and I have already learned alot! thanks everyone! LOL

I always use my hp soap almost immediately after I demold it and cut. i have never had any problems with it yet. sorry that this post is a little late, hopefully it will help in the future. Terri

I do hp, i would love to send you a bar of it. Just email your address.

Terri

Oh my goodness!! I love it! I had some soap turn out kind of moldy looking one time when I used papaya cloufauti I can't remember the name, but i was something like that. needless to say I didn't keep the fragrance, not only did the soap look moldy, it smelled like bug spray! LOL

Terri

I love your labels!! they are very appealing! they make me think of spring. Way to go!!

Terri

congrats!! once you start you can't stop! LOL it looks lovely!

Terri

Do yo use HTP wicks for gel also? If not, can you tell me what type of wick is best used for gel candles?

I have had great results using 60-44-18z.
