I test for 8 hours at a time for 3 days. I expect the first 2 days to be very strong and to still be able to smell it on the third day for melts.

I use Natures Garden UV. I had my melts and candles at an outdoor craft fair over the last weekend and none of them seemed to have faded from the exposure. hth's. :-)

I had this problem with my blend and i spent tons of time trying to combat the problem and ended up realizing that hitting them with the heat gun is the fastest and easiest solution. Every time the weather changes my candles set up differently. I've spent 3 years testing testing testing and finally achieved a great candle until I started having this same problem. Save yourself the time,stress,and money and use a heat gun. I don't think you'll regret it. :-)

I understand that they don't make as much money if they offer free shipping but it would still be nice to get a deal once a year at least! I raffle candles away from time to time and i don't make any money off of those but it keeps customers happy so i gladly eat the cost every once in a while. I'm not even expecting a free shipping deal,but a discount shipping deal would be great! 15% would tickle me pink! Peak is the only company that i've seen do this. I order most of my oils from Peak but I use c3 wax and they don't carry it. I've been getting it from Fillmore. They seem to have the best rate for where i'm at. $58+$33 shipping.

I wasn't sure where to put this but here it is. It really peeves me that when a company offers a limited time free shipping deal,wax is never included and there's like a $100 minimum order?! It ticks me off so bad! The cost of wax is insane and i would love a shipping deal every once in a while! Does this bother anyone else?

I call mine Witches Brew but I also blend it with a little Twilight Woods and it sold like crazy this past fall. I agree with Candybee in that anything with good ol patch in it sells like crazy. I have Candlewic's Voodoo Love and renamed it Voodoo Child in honor of Jimi Hendrix and its my number 1 seller and one of my personal favs!

I love them! I use clear labels with only black writing and graphics also with these jars! I have a question though,what kind of lid are you using that you can fill the jars so full or are those in the pic just for show? Just curious..

What's your name? Danice How old are you? 30 Where do you live? Central Illinois How long have you been making candles/soap/whatever? 3 years How did you get started making candles/soap/whatever? I was lookin for a way to make some extra cash,lol,how easy i thought it would be!Now i'm addicted but so far only make enough to reinvest in it and keep it going Are you married? Yes,2 years Any kids? Yes,one daughter,she's 4. If candle making isn't your primary job, what do you do? Stay at home mom(for now) Anything else we should know? I love to read.I hate gossip.I love wine and dancing.My favorite band is Incubus and I love old movies!I named my candle business after my brother and a friend of mine who both died in a car accident in 2004.I hope someday I can make a decent source of income from candle making but for now I am just thankful my husband puts up with it and shells out a little moolah when I want to try something new!Also,I LOVE craft server!I have learned so much here!!!!

I mix 25% 4786 with 75% C3.

Vanilla Bean Supreme and Fresh Cut Grass in tarts for me!

I was mixing 75% c3 and 25% 4786 and getting awesome melts with awesome throw and they popped right out of the cups.I tried to make some with straight c3(only usa added)and they wouldn't come out for poo!Then when I did get em out,it left a lot of residue in the cup.Guess it's best to stick with what you know works!Lol!

I ordered from them on a Friday and received my package on Monday,and it was even over Easter wknd!No complaints here!As far as products go,I don't expect to be able to get everything I need from the same supplier so it's not a huge deal to me if they don't carry something or other.I have had no problems with their customer service either.I had a problem with an item showing out of stock on a smaller quantity but in stock for a larger quantity so I got a hold of them and they fixed the cart right away so it would let me add the item.It's strange how some people have nothing but problems from a supplier but other customers have nothing but stellar reviews?!

I have not tried Peaks yet but I have tried NG sweet grass and it is grass like but more fresh scenty than actual grass.I have also tried BCN fresh cut grass and it does actually smell like grass.Figured I'd put that out there cuz I didn't know which type of grass smell you were looking for :-)

Butt Naked,Bl Rasp Van,Lovespell,and Sweet Grass!

I've never been to Disney :-( but I do find this fascinating!I'm happy to know people are as interested in scent nostalgia as I am!More than anything,smells remind me of certain things and I link certain scents to events,places,and times in my life.Maybe that's one of the reasons i'm so drawn to candle making?Lol!Thanks for the fun fact!! :-)
