  5. This one seems to be the only one I could find that isnt dead
  6. I started using Save on Scents, but then I found Gelluminations and so far never had an issue with an order, but I found so many of you here complaining about them, Im looking around for a new place... I was considering giving Millcreek a try
  7. I've used them a lot...so far I've been lucky and gotten complete orders, my beef with them is that they dont seem to have a standard shipping schedule, sometimes they ship a couple of days after I order, sometimes its almost two weeks, and god forbid they answer an email. The ONLY time they ever answered one of mine, was when I sent one about needing to add to an order they hadnt shipped yet. Im glad to find the info about them here though, Im sure its probably only a matter of time before I get burned
  8. Hi..Im new around here and have spent the last couple of weeks reading around I make massage candles, have been for a long time and I wanted to pipe in on using warmers for them. I know from an accidental experiment this is NOT a good thing to do. When I was formulating my recipe and testing, I was having an issue with wick nipples and a half circle crack in the top. I thought...I'll just throw it on the warmer and let it melt (at the time I didnt own a heat gun and using a hair dryer was taking longer than I wanted). What I DIDN'T know was that the candle was going to melt from the bottom up (I never made regular soy candles, so I dont know if they do the same thing or not). I set it on the warmer and after about 10 minutes I couldnt tell anything was happening so I picked it up. About 3/4 of it had melted, but because it was in a tin, I couldnt see that. Like an idiot I accidentally tilted it and dumped it all over me, my couch and my hardwood floors (no, it didnt burn me, but I had a mess to clean up lol fortunately it cleaned very easily and there was no staining), so IMO using a warmer is not a good thing, mainly because you do not want to liquify the entire thing, if made right you only need to burn for about 15 minutes to get enough oil to give a really good massage. I also tested with a warmer in a glass container and it melted bottom up the same way. Now, as someone that experiments, tests, experiments, tests, making these, warmers ARE good for that, simply because it allows me to melt the entire thing quickly to change wicks out to do wick testing. I cant speak for anyone else's recipe, but with my own, it doesnt matter if you burn for 15 minutes or 4 hours, the temp has not gotten hot enuff to burn, its only warm, and I've tested it that way on many different people of many different skin types. Just my two cents lol dont yell at me!! (some of y'all seem really down on massage candle makers and its made me wary of posting, BUT I thought people needed to know about the warmer thing) Nice to meet you
