butterfly

I live in the Panhandle, but don't use Soy. So sorry not much help here. But HI Floridiots:yay: (um Floridians, LMAO)

Personally 3" is pretty big for tarts. That is if you are going to try to make for a melter(glass dish as holder). JMO.. If I have misunderstood your ?? I apoligize & let me know.

Butterfly,

check the classies. I think there is someone who has the malibu tubes.

HTH

Thank you. I have now seen this ad. and have replied.

Looking for a malibu tube supplier. 4/6 oz fatter at the bottom slender at the top( I have one that was sent to me w/ product that I like, not sure what the name is.) Or If you have any I would be willing to buy.

Steph your are probably right , thanks for the help.

I Need a supplier for these, or if you have any please reply. I have a few that I like: fatter on the bottom, flat & slender on top. (Not sure of supplier;but any info or personal sales WELCOME!)

I also do not cure my candles. Just test after they are cooled.

pixxidusted, M&P does not have to cure, so wrap and put in bags. How long have you been at this? Making M&P & or selling? (not being a smart a**,just asking to help)

I have had the liquid red dye for @ 1 yr. The left over candle I made last yr. smells great! Now this season I have duplicated the red dye, Warm Apple Pie, w/ J-223. Same-O-Same-O-. But the fuel smell is awful. Poured 1#,let it set. stunk,then started from scratched, poured it, stunk, tried again still stunk... Not just me now!!!Tried diff. temps. diff. scents, w/ 3 # of wax + dye + FO But it is the liquid dye I'm sure. Now what?? I have wasted soooo much money.(9 oz. jars inc.) Does the red liquid not last as long as the other colors? Any info or bitching appreciated:undecided

Hi,

Do you think I can add SLSA to your recipe to make if sudsy?

I add SLSa to this recipe, I love it!!

1 c. Dry Milk

1 c. Baking Soda

2 Tbl. Cornstarch

1/2 c. SLSa

10-20 drops FO

put in zip lock bag and SHAKE,SHAKE. Put in container of choice & bubble away!!

I also make mini mold melts and soap from a butterfly mold that AshlieK gave me. They are too cute. Love the hearts !

gmp I have some 1343 par. that I mix w/ my J223 (container wax) for my melts/clamshells. Just PM if interested. (and I can send out Mon.)

If you mean you use those solid fragrance chips like you get at a craft store?

Then YES, there is a huge difference. I used some of those fragrance chips about a decade ago when I made my first candles, and they gave off about as much fragrance as a frozen rock. Do some searching here in the older threads and you can get some helpful information about beginner candlemaking. HTH

Yea, what she said. LOL Really what was said is very true all the way around. So get some "FO" fragrance oil from any of the suppliers that you ck out on the sites. You will be amazed at the diff. from the fo blocks or oil that a craft store offers.

pilyblu, the instructions are on Bitter Creek North's site. Don't feel bad. Always ask. www.bittercreek.com Be sure to go to north.(Wisconsin) HTH

I must reply that ZINC's & LX's do work for me in J223. Which is the wax I use for containers. As well as a mix of J223 & 1343 for melts.

First, tap the sides of your molds w/ wooden spoon handle, butter knife etc.. to ri the pillars of the bubbles. And when my DH first bought me suplies (after stating for a couple of yrs. that I wanted to make candles). He bought Yaley products for Micheal's. Not the best dyes or scents. Actually you don't want me to start on those. But have found very good products(thru help of this board). I can try to help you finding supplies. Just PM me ,Maybe I can help.

Try sitting them outside. Yes I am a smoker (shame on me...LOL) The best thing I kow to rid the stinch of smoke is... Fresh air & sunshine. Just like sheets off the clothesline. Hope this helps for silicone.

Thank you for the info. If anyone can find something that helps w/ clean up for us "perfect pourers" the need a pat on the back.:highfive: (ok in the case of the smileys, a high 5.

I know the lamp shade holders you were trying. (Adorable as they are )They will not work correctly. As you have since found out. Glad all is going well for you now.

Did someone tire of dipping critters?

My thoughts exactly!!!

I've been trying to finish 11 bombs for a swap for the last three weeks. I haven't had any days off from work in two weeks, and it seems like everytime I get a few hours free during the day where I can get these done, it's either clouding up to rain, raining, or it's just rained and humid as hell.

I can't win.

Well if you ever get them finished let me know. You can send me one. Love them. (not holding My Breath with all the glitches those little burgers cause) LMAO J/K Really good luck on getting them finished.

This topic has turned into a soap opera. LOL After seeing Soapinthecity's pictorial & reading to leave out the cocoa powder I have decided to make these today. Before when reading about these the cocoa powder just didn't do it for me. Sounded just like you stated Bunny; a "turd in the tub". I'm too old to go thru that again. LMAO

Thanks to your pictorial I NOW HAVE to try them. I must stay away from all of you!! Thanks this was very nice of you to do.

I have some, sent you a PM with info.

Keep this up and I'll never try 'em lol!

Scented I'm with you. I love using them, but I keep reading the horror stories about making them. Living in Sunny HUMID FL. I don't think I'm up to failing at something else.
