Out of the MANY suppliers I have tried, hands down Bramble Berry and Sweetcakes are the strongest! (JMHO)
-
Ummm...ok, yeah...I am a fragrance ho! It's confirmed....
-
Can I lick the spoon?? lol
-
I did this a long time ago. I remember it was a jelly jar...I poured a couple of different colored layers, and when it start to set up I took a chopstick and swiped up the sides of the glass! It looked really cool!
-
Yay, Talltayl!!!! Great choice! I may not post on here everyday either, but I usually check in on a daily basis! Love my Craftserver family!

LOL! That's just crazy!!!! Looks like the melt pool is almost the whole jar, too! -
Woo Hoo! That's great news! In the jelly maybe try a 44-28-32z instead of the 44-32-18z That should work, too! I'm so glad it's working for you!! I love the zincs; if only we could minimize the mushrooming! lol Doing good over here, just doing major spring cleaning and organizing...I'm on a rampage! hee hee

-
Thanks, TallTayl!!!! What an awesome site!!!

I generally make sure I stay around 180-185, same as Belinda. I never quite bought that "burning off" story, lol! I'm sure as long as your under 200 you should be fine:)
-
I just realized I am using wayyyyy too much FO....I'm gonna have to scale back...lol I stay away from straight EO's in perfume due to exactly what Tall said...some people can even be prone to having miscarriages, seizures, photosensitivity, etc. Scary stuff! I stick with just skin safe FO's.
-
LOL! I'm going to make some Peach soap now.... Keep me updated!
-
I'm hoping others will chime in with their experiences on that jar... I'm so glad I could help you! This forum really is the best, isn't it?
-
Anyone else want to chime in?
-
Hmmmm....I'm stumped on that one....I bet it's probably the jar shape.. that's the only thing I can think of...that and candlenose! The only other thing I would suggest is burning a different scented candle the next day or so to "cleanse" your nose. Or change locations. Also, if you're testing HT it's best to wait at least a couple of days to cure the paraffin; some say it's not necessary but any cure is IMO better...if I'm testing for HT I usually wait for 3-4 days to make sure. If I'm wick testing I light it up within 2 days. Hmmmmmm..... I'm still thinking the jar shape...
-
Here ya go, Puma52 Nothing fancy, but mmmmmmm smells so good! Added .20grams yellow oxide and .20g. red oxide 1.8 oz. FO to a 40 oz. batch of oils
-
Hmmm....could be that jar... But then again my jellies give a wicked throw...hmmm I would try putting it in a different room, shutting the door for an hour and then go back and check the HT... Where are you burning it? Of course if it's in a bathroom the fragrance will be stronger...
-
Sure ya don't have candlenose? How much FO did you add?
-
I always add mine at 180 to make sure the wax and FO incorporates together
-
Yep, I remember it being 70/30, just couldn't remember which is which
