  1. I m testing 435, about what cure time for this wax? Thanks
  2. I realize that you have to test diff batches however this is more than a little different or a little fluxuaiton, soy wax should not solidify at 160 degrees
  3. I know its so weird, yes its the same fos and wax ive used for 3 years, I thoght maybe my thermometer was screwed up and I was putting in the fo to cool but once in the jar it took way longer to cool, which would make me thinkthat it was oured too hot, im thinking maybe a a fan or air was on it making the top cool before the rest but i didnt change anything like that through out the first half of my candle making which was fine?!
  4. just to elaborate a little, I was pouring them at 160 to 165 degree bc that when they were solidifying up, I guess the look of them is due to being poured too hot, which i dont understand if they were already solidyfying up like they were 100 degrees
  5. So Im pouring a ton of candles today for upcoming shows and everything is normal and 4 batches in a row all 100% alabaster soy, as soon as I put the fo in 1.5 oz per pd of wax, it was already solidifying up, I had to pour it, but of course it was still hot so it took a long time for the wax to cool in the jar which made the jar look awful to make things worse the cold throw is awful I can bearly smell the fragerence and these fos always gave off a excellent fragrance. and all of them have air bubbles, I am sooo scared that its the wrong wax, however Im freaking out pls help!
  6. Iced Pumpkin Bread:D It was 15% of my total sales in 2007. Everyone loves it!
  7. ky's apple clove butter is awesome! it smells just like apple butter, my best selling apple scent! Very popular in the fall!
  8. snuggle baby and gingerbread are my favs! Vicki is awesome, she has the best customer service, almost all of my fo's come from her!
  9. They have gone out of business:undecided That really sucks bc I love them, there oils were awesome in soy. I will miss them.
  10. I have to agree with oversoyed, theres nothing wrong with just selling to a few friends and family and making a little cash. I have been making candles for 4 years and selling for 2 and I started out with family and friends now I sell mostly in the falls at craft shows and to a few places around here, but I dont make enough to be and entire income, I would start small see how you like and if you do maybe book a small craft show and get a feel for it. Alot of people would love to start selling and make a ton of money doing it, but in reality its really hard work and can take years just to see a profit. Good Luck!
  11. just wondering if anyone has done the show? I ve never been and I m wondering about foot traffic, etc. I really want to do this one, but with the economy, Im not so sure a knew unknown venture is the best idea. Thanks
  12. I know its only april, but Im already started to look at the scents for fall lineup:D , and I would love to try this scent in gb444, I saw that wsp has it but the cost is soooo high, do any of you know where I could get it cheaper and for you soy users have you had any luck with it? Thanks!
  13. I love their Amish Harvest!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is awesome and throws excellent in soy! There are not too many fos that I get from them but the others are honeysuckle, creme brulee, Lilac, but you have to try their amish harvest, it sells so good for me in the fall! its the best ive smelled and their fos have excellent prices.
  14. In feb.it will be the start of my third year selling. My first year was great and my second was even better. While that only accounts for 5,000.00 in sales that is not profit. but as a full time student and mom, I was happy to pay one house payment and for christmas. So while I would have liked to have made enough to live on, I would also like to loose weight while sitting on my a$$ eating fries dipped in chocolate.(maybe someday Ill be able to do both:p ) I am happy where I am and considering that I have bearly enough cash flow to make it some times, im just happy that Ive made it this far.
  15. which on do you guys like, my supplier is geting rid of the pure soy that I use so I have to find a new pure soy, im soooo stressed!, im want to go with soycandle.com, can you guys share some of your experiences?
