I remember searching at some point about a year ago to see if anyone else had something closer and came to the conclusion that they didn't. 

Thank you, I may try it!

Has anyone tried this from Oregon Trails?  I get so many requests to see if I can make anything (mostly spray) from it.

Just wondering if you had or know of any of the other suppliers that might have it.

I recently used up the last of my Mr. Misty blackberry cheesecake.  Had to be at least 10 years old, and still SOOO good.  It is true, they just don't make 'em like that anymore. 

 

Mr. Misty blackberry cheesecake was the absolute best.    Many of Mr. Misty oils were wahhhhhhhh

Found a blast from the past…anyone remember Daystars Frosted Indulgence fragrance oil? I believe I just bought a candle from Goose Creek that smells just like that oil…it’s their Candy Corn 3 wick candle.

I just bought that candle myself.   The pumpkin label was so cute I had to.    I'm super excited now!    It should be here any day now.

I personally attended the grand opening a few years back when NG got their new building.    I friended Deborah so I could follow her family as I met her parents and wanted to keep tabs on them, how they are doing etc.    Deborah hasn't posted on her personal FB since November 2021.    I thought it was unusual but kept forgetting to message her to see what was up.

I also need to find a replacement as mine is running out.   BOO!!!

So helpful! Thank you! 

Thank you!!!  I'll buy some different size wicks just in case.   I'm familiar that I will need to test them well before putting them in the lantern.    So how are they wicked?   First with skewers then feed the wick through?    That's what it looks like in the photo.

Also what temp do you heat the wax to before pouring?

It started with Pink Sugar! They had the best "non vanillin" PS
I still have a lot of their old formulas FO's including Lime Cooler that I am hoarding. LOL
It's almost like they are catering to the new class and ignore the old schoolers. 

This is hard to hear!!!

It's going in this camping lantern.   

3.5" long, 1 3/16" in diameter ,each one can hold about 1.8 ozs wax

Hi all, it's been a few hot minutes since I've posted here.    I am trying to get back to my love/hobby and I have a personal project.

I'm trying to make tapers for my UCO Candle lantern, and I want to make them in beeswax.   I've added a photo to show you all my project.  I've never used beeswax for candles before.   I've determined from the mold maker that a #5 wick will work well.   Is this braided cotton?  If so do I need to add a metal plate on the bottom of the wick.   Is there a primer out there somewhere showing how to wick beeswax molded candles?  Do I insert the wick after the candle mold hardens, using skewers as a wick guide or do I wick straight into the beeswax.  HELP?  I'm totally at a loss here and I miss all of you a lot.  

Does anyone recommend a good source for beeswax?   I want it to be perfect candle wax and I know that each apiary probably puts out different quality.

I see my soy wax that I used to use is D/C and tons of changes with wax too in general so I'm going to have to go back through and re-read.

Thanks a million,

Lorelei

Shelley most of her oils are as close to perfect as can be.    I've ordered a lot from Daystar and never found one I didn't love.  The problem I've had is often if it is an unusual one that I fall in love with and no one else did, that scent would be discontinued.    booooooooo

Thanks all!!  Has anyone used them?

Hi all,

I'm wondering what jar is this?

Have you ever used it and your results?

Where can you buy them?

Do they have lids?

Do you think that the little flare inwards at the top might help the sides clean up better? 

Thanks!

Lorelei

Orange Danish, Vanilla Grapefruit, White Cake, these are the ones that came to mind for me I can't remember the rest if I get into my studio I'll look them up.

I have Cajun Mulberry, it is nice and strong and throws well!

I'm missing the post with the costs?

I really want Winter Wonderland.

Is Q210 the reformulation of the PB?

If you bought it at NG, it was probably the Joy Wax. I liked that wax a lot, but geeze, it's pricey. I strongly suspect it's a blend of 4627 and soy.

I bet you could get similar results mixing the KY parasoy with 4627, or 4630.

It wasn't the Joy Wax but I love that one too.   I looked up my order and it was the WOW wax.    It throws like crazy.

She told me that she's trying to get Winter Wonderland in because many have asked for it.

I had a large supply of Ecosoya PB but apparently it has been discontinued?    Geez.

What temp do you pour into clams? I have some of this ordered and have used it in the past and loved it (just hate cure time) and thought I'd mix a little more paraffin with it.

150-155 

  I've mixed the paraffin that is like Vaseline with it (I'm sorry I can't remember the name) I bought it at NG with it.

I love the KY Para Soy Tart Blend at RE.  I've played around with adding a bit of soy to it to get smooth tops.

I've also used straight Ecosoya Pillar Blend, it needs a longer cure time but it pops right out!
