Welcome to the board.

Levines and OBI are good starting points for burners

I know that feeling well I have a ton of molds it so easy to want to try them all. Congrats on getting you website set up.

That is what it usually mean do not be afraid to contact Monica she is a sweetly and will be really helpful.

Yes you can, say if I want to search Soap making section I go to that board click like you are going to search and you should see to the left a down arrow that you can narrow your search to just that section. There is other option there also. I hope that is what you are looking for.

Welcome back

Congrads on the new kiln. I am so looking forward to the finish on this one.

Great Job!!! Thank you Candybee

Van Yulay's is the ones I like the best here is Monica web site https://www.vanyulay.com/ I have got them a lot of place ebay and etsy are also good place to find them.

I had to go look I did not realize no one had talked about other shapes for melt in a long time. I love using silicone mold for melts. My main problem was designing packaging for them. That is struggle because people will not buy them unless they can see them.

Ah the only thing to worry about in silicone too intricate you have to be really careful getting them out of the mold. Like a real looking rose mold petal will want to break off. Here is some that I have made

Size is your issue with soap molds mold, soap mold are 3 plus ounces. Why are you limited to break a ways? You can use silicone molds to make wax melts you will find a ton of info on here where people use silicone molds to make melts.

Hi Marlene glad you decided to sign up. Welcome to the board.

Why you are getting them it is just your turn. Honestly they will just start happening and stop just as quickly when it is known you will not play their game. There are people out their that spend all their time emailing companies asking for freebies and it pays off for them amazingly enough. Companies need to stop catering to the freebie hunters.

I simply say I do not offer free samples and leave it at that. Free samples are for paying customers. If you give out free samples to any one but a paying customer then you get put on that list that freebies seekers share that is all they are looking for is freebies. They have no intention of buy they just want stuff for free. One thing you can set up if you want to be able to offer people samples is a sample pack like where you give scent samples and they pay shipping. I did that for $2 I would put 1 cubes of 6 different scents and mail it. People that are really interested will be willing to pay that. I did that and it was pretty well received I would have customers adding on that with an order so they could check out scents that interested them.

Love those.

I like them.

That man never thinks I refuse to watch him.

Hi Nicole Welcome to the board. I so glad you decided to come on board.

Any of those waxes will work any pillar or votive blend works great in molds. I have made mini cinnamon buns in 1343 and Ecosoya PB. As for drizzle I like to use a mix of 1343/gel wax it gives it a glossy look. Cupcakes frosting you want to whip your wax but you have to move fast before it get to hard. I have been known to add gel wax to that also.

Soap of the Month = SOTM They threw me also the first time they pop that on up to me.

Hi welcome to the board.

Get your basic FO down first like cinnamon, vanilla, lilac, lavender ect.. then move to the more complex FO with basics you can do a lot of scent mixing when you are ready.

Welcome to the board we are glad to have you.

At least for a while darn it my hands are sore from sanding. I need to come up with a better sanding system.
