we got hot throw!!!!! smelled pretty good!!! i am not giving up hope. soy wax from the craft store..yaley brand. i was told the brand of wax was ok and i already had it bought before the better fo's. same with wicks...yaley size medium for soy. really this is just family fun for us...not looking to make a living or anything...but still am interested in a good product...as i do love candles!!! i am a stay at home mom and there is much to be learned in projects like these for kids....it is science in its finest!!! keeping the 5 year old safe. no worries. she helps us cook every night so i feel confident in her ability to stir some wax in a presto pot. lol....we are very careful. there will be no drinking of the fo's....lol. thanks for the tips though...makes one think!

hi i'm new. i have been reading and reading after a few failed attempts at this candle thing. i thought it would be something easy and fun to do with my 5 year old...a new hobby. quickly realized that starting at the local craft stores and buying yaley supplies was my first mistake:angry2:(after reading..lol) anyway. read up on here....and decided to order a sample pack of fo's from peaks. we have made one batch with the fruit slices scent....just lit the candle after 2 days of cure....can't smell it yet...but am really hoping that i didn't just dump another 30 dollars down the drain! this simple new hobby is quickly becoming expensive and disappointing as i learn how difficult it really is!!! wow!! just want to say GO CANDLE MAKERS.....you all are amazing for figuring it out! thanks for having me and i hope that with these new fo's i will get the results i want and will be hanging around and learning or else this may be the end of the road for me. happy smelling julie
