Thanks for the replies everybody. It is an interesting concept. The product I saw looks like it could be the soy wax or a mix with some oil in it to keep it like a lotion consistency.

Has anybody heard of this or made any of this? I ran across this shop on Etsy that is selling it and you pump out of a bottle into your warmer. It's almost like a lotion consistency. It looks like a good product and is a little different.

Omg I thought is was me...mine did the sinking thing too. I did most of my batches in silicone molds and they sunk down in the middle. They didn't look that bad so I just kinda let it go but then I poured some in some clamshells and they turned out horrible. The cold and hot throw seems to be ok but the appearance is just not the business. I almost done with the bag so I need to be figuring out something else soon.

I agree that less is better. I do craft shows and I only take maybe 35% if that, of my products. First of all, its a pain trying to get all those items together for a craft show and second, lugging all that stuff back and forth can be hassle. Just make sure you have business cards or something so people can get in touch with you to order more and to see what else you have to offer.

hahahahaha...thanks guys. After I talked to him I did turn my burner off. I didn't want to offend anybody but I am geeked about my HT!!

How long did you whip it? The longer you whip, the softer it can get. I haven't used Mango butter before but if it is hard like Cocoa butter then you need to add more oils to soften your mixture. Coconut oil is good and I think it helps the mixture stay somewhat on the softer side than getting all hard.

oh I'm not going to bash you for your opinion. I totally see what you are saying. I have been burning different ones for the past 2 weeks and I think this kind is the only one that has been this strong. My coworker in the office next to me made a comment that she has been liking my tarts but she is the only one so I just assumed they were average with the HT. There are only 4 people in my office and we are not shy about telling each other stuff hahaha

The maintenance guy at my job asked me if I had been smelling like a sweet smell for the last couple days. Immediately I knew what he was talking about. I have been burning my tarts in my burner in my office. You can smell it all the way out in the hall by the elevators!! He said that even one of the other tenants on the floor asked him about the smell and he had said maybe somebody is making some type of sweet coffee hahaha. He was really intrigued when I told him what it was. I am glad that I am getting such awesome HT but is too strong to be smelling like this all in the suite and in the hallway??

I love the half and half containers or any pint size milk carton. Just enough for around 3 bars of soap.

Oh no I love WSP Black Raspberry Vanilla..it smells heavenly in soap and bath bombs. I made some tarts with it last week and they smell awesome too. I love their Green Tea and Cucumber as well and really don't want to find a replacement but these price hike are concerning me. I might try Peaks BRV when I run out.

Thank you so much! I will have to check to see if they are open for business on Saturdays but one or two day shipping is great too.

I am a novice at tarts but I think that pouring temp may be a little low. I don't know if it affects the HT or not. I am using that wax as well and have been pretty disappointed in the HT. I have tested it a few different ways to see if the HT will improve but I think once I use it up, I am gonna shop around for something else.

hahahaha...I am not quite sure of that number or what suppliers are there but I know there are some in PA somewhere and that is roughly a 2 hour drive from where I am. I am seriously thinking about scoping some out and just taking a Saturday to go check it out. ETA: All of these are basically 3 hours or so away. Are any worth the drive? Keystone, CandleWic and Candle and Supply.

BOOOOOOO!! hahaha..I am so jealous that many of you live by these suppliers. I think there are a couple almost 2 hours or so away from me.

UGHH!! There is nothing I hate worse than a thief. My husbands credit card was compromised a few months ago too. Someone was using it in Georgia. He had visited there a month or so prior. The bank said using your credit card at those ATM's at gas stations and 7-eleven type places are not safe because it it easy to get credit card numbers or something. Luckily the bank caught it after a couple of transactions and put a hold on it but they were able to get something from Walmart and Home Depot I believe.
