  5. might sound stupid, but how many of WHAT are in an ounce? Its not grams is it? There are how many ____ in one ounce? I am trying to find out what my cost is for 0.2 ounce of FO. Please help, thanks!
  6. i would recommend uv also, and what kind of candles are you making and how are they packaged? If they are in polyethylene bags they will lose there scent. You would need polypropylene. HTH!
  7. You are mainly intersted in soy reviews from those that have actually tested it in soy wax right? yes for people who tested them in soy =)
  8. I want instructions too please! Those are so cute!!
  9. i dont have the patience for that, but they make real perty tarts! lol
  10. if they are the 3x4 ones and say clear treat bags and are made by wilton then they are the same ones as walmart. are the ones from holly lobby the same as those or different?
  11. i didnt have trouble with white tea and ginger either. I add it at 180, and stir for several minutes. someone also gave me a tip to keep stirring while its cooling, and that worked well also. It didnt seep out or fall to the bottom of the pot.
  12. Can you all help me out with these please. I was wondering if anyone can tell me how these scents do in soy please. Orange Chiffon Cake Coconut Cream Pie lavender vanilla mango papaya Cotton Candy or pink sugar? which one throws better? Cotton Blossom Dutch Apple Crunch Banana Nut Bread Birthday Cake Gingerbread or Buttery Gingerbread Lemon Meringue Vanilla Hazelnut Coffee Wildberry Crisp Thanks!!
  13. how long do you have to cure these little buggers lol i know some scents take longer, but in general it seems this wax takes forever to cure!!
  14. where do you see the $1 shipping? i cant find it!
  15. Have any of you gotten those small poly bags from walmart in the wedding/bakery type section of the craft area. They are 3x4 in bags. I was wondering if any of you know if they are polypropylene or polyethylene. thanks!
  16. im trying to avoid that lol my ink cartridges cost alot, and its less time consuming to get them preprinted.
  17. Does anyone know where i can find these? I looked at BCN but the ones they have say to use in a non electric potpourri burner and warm with a tealight. I dont want people to look at that, if they even do, and think that they can only use tealight warmers and not the electric ones too. So could someone please help me out with where to find warning labels for tarts that dont say to only use them in one type of warmer? Thanks!
  18. the rustic and pewter lids from bittercreek are very inexpensive, only $2.16 for 12 of them. And im not getting custom made labels. Im thinking of ordering labels that are made with predesigned graphics. Like from kountryexpressions.net. That type of thing. Those are not expensive, just more expensive than making them myself i think. I just thought i may be able to do it cheaper if i just got ink cartridges. But I dont want to do it myself lol. So i was thinking of doing it that way.
  19. i want to have labels made, and also need scent labels. or is it actually cheaper to do myself? all i know is i need labels! help! lol edited to say...i am looking for labels with predesigned graphics on them or that type of thing, not totally custom made. thanks!
  20. yeah the sweet pea and plumeria just stink IMO lol
  21. Im not new to this, im just new to soy...and ive got my 8 oz jelly jars, votives and tarts all tested. So I dont need sample packs of wicks. I just need to finish testing the rest of my scents. I do have supplies, just not alot because i gave away over $4,000 worth of supplies when i left alaska. Its a long story! lol. So, now i have to start over. And i took a break for a while. So now im just starting over and have a lot more limited budget than i had the first time. So I was just wanting opinions on what you all would spend the $300 on if you need to start stocking up a little with a limited budget. Anyway I think i may just order labels. Its so much easier, doesnt take any of my time having to figure out how to design labels. And that type of thing. Plus there is a lady at the hospital gift shop who wants to put my candles in there, so im going to go meet with her tomorrow. And I have the candles ready, just not the look of them perfected, meaning....i want some rustic or pewter type lids for the jars rather than just the lids that come with the jj's. And I want some cute labels. I just dont know where to get everything lol. But i think i will get a case of the ezsoy, because now that i realize its the same as ky puresoy i will just get it at bcn since its cheaper to ship. I also need packaging for the tarts and votives. Just cellos i think for the votives, to package at least 2 in a bag. And i tie them with jute. And for tarts I want some of those 3x3 or 3x4 ziplocks to put single tarts in. I have some cello bags i got off the classifieds that i can put 6 tarts in or 2 votives. And i like those. I think they are like 2.5 inches wide by 7.5 inches tall, and gusseted. Ive been getting all my oils from the candle source and indiana candle supply. i want to try other places too though lol. Anyway thanks for the input. If yall have any info as to where to get what please let me know, thanks! Oh yeah, i noticed perky designs has some really cute labels i like, but ive heard bad stuff about them. What do you all think, for those of you that buy from them. Thanks!
  22. LOL I HATE IT!! LOL I tried the one from the candle source. And its ok, i havent tested it yet, just poured it tonight. YUCK! lol. Plumeria smells like stronger toothpaste to me LOL not a minty toothpaste, not sure how to explain it...just like a sweet toothpaste LOL I know i must be insane lol. No florals for me....icky poo! lol
  23. it does look to me like cotton candy i love the way it looks. i still dont understand how you made it though lol
