Which is cheaper and which is better quality, local or shipped EOs?

https://silkyscents.com/r-25.htm The "Exotic Citrus Popourri" recipe on this page includes bergamot and pink grapefruit, and so does the one below it.

Soak your feet in hot water with a box of instant milkixed in, or heat milk our pf the carton, and it will make the crusty dry skin disappear.

In was in sales, first cars and then business-to-business outside sales/marketing, so I wondered if there's a way to honestly pitch candles as money-saving devices like so: http://www.keensaver.com/energy-savings/top-10-best-ways-to-save-money-by-using-candles/

Okay, thanks. :-) Hard to believe there's a hassle free wax in the world. I saw the other thread finally and someone posted that HT is not so good, but there are so many variables it might throw awesome in some other test, maybe.

Okay, here we go: This has the best info on which EOs were most effective based on snake testing while developing the repellent product described in this patent application. Read the right-hand column under "Claims," and 0019, then from 0035 down. All the EOs tested are listed along with a short list of the most effective ones. http://www.google.com/patents/US20010041694 Now we have the info we need to get this going.:-)

The Indian Snakeroot was used to treat bites and it's too expensive, plus no info on using it as snake repellent. Here's more snake repellent plants like Lemongrass, which I'd love to plant too. The EO might work for us. http://www.pinterest.com/catherinedupree/snake-repelent/

Interestingly it's a garlic plant with purple flowers called Silver Lace or Society Garlic. It's very pretty and I want to plant some. We can use regular garlic EO instead.I'm also interested in the snake repellent plant from India...Googling...

They use 1 Tbsp pp.

http://www.hibiscuscoastseconds.co.za/natural-ways-repel-snakes/ This article mentions a list of plants that repell snakes and I need to search for EOs made from those. I'm interested in the plant the Zulus plant around their homes to repel snakes because that knowledge may go back to antiquity and really work. I read on a government document from Guam that hot air scented with cinnamon and clove will.drive snakes out of buildings, but when sprayed on a hard surface won't keep snakes from entering. But maybe salt saturated with cinnamon and clove EO thrown under my house would fill the space with hot scented air in Summer.

http://www.jadelouisedesigns.com/numerous-benefits-of-garlic-oil-and-how/ I read about a recipe for snake repellent that includes garlic, so I Googled for info on garlic EO. It's super sstrong so I'm wondering if 2 drops of garlic EO in 1 oz of carrier oil mixed with 10 lbs of rock salt would get 'er done. It wouldn't hurt to have several scents of salt to create bands of repellent that might deter more kinds of snakes. Still researching...

Oh, gross! One of my rescue dogs brought a mouse inside a few weeks ago, and it was not a regular field mouse but had a darker gray coat with white pattern on it. And it was from the same spot that my other Catahoula got bit by a pygmy rattler several times in the mouth and neck. Miraculously he survived. I was thinking that salt crystals reportedly hold a scent for months so salt might make a super long-lasting repellent if it doesn't rain. I got four rescued cats to keep rodent and snake population down, but two immediately got killed by predators so I made the other two into indoor only cats.

When I was testing 6006 in those jars I didn't feel comfortable with how hot the jars got below the halfway mark. Now I remember the main thing that bothered me about 6006 is how hot it makes the glass. My 4627 doesn't make the jar too hot using the right size htp wick

Thanks! I'm going to Google for ways to remove Teflon coating.

PS It might be possible to wick the 20 oz Emma jars with 6006. Mostly I think the smaller sizes probably sell better anyway, though.

I started out three years ago with 6006 as a newby and wasn't satisfied with it, but I didn't know what I was doing at the time either, and had candle nose a lot. I recently lit one of my unburnt candles from my first pours with 6006 and am impressed. I was wondering if I could use my beloved htp wicks in it or not. If I had some 6006 in the house I'd try it in Emma jars right now...oh, snap! I can just melt some of my old 6006 candles in th e oven and pour into Emma jars. :-) :-) :-)

I'm tempted to hog this idea in secret, but if it works it could save lives. Maybe someone else is already doing this. Last week someone posted about scenting salt, so I was researching that and ended up on aromaweb wanting to venture into using EOs. Since I live on a rural creek I'm always thinking about new ways to repell snakes, beyond my mothball throwing efforts. So I Googled to see if EOs can be uses for repelling snakes, and learned about cinnamon, clove and eugenol oils being used as snake repellent even by some government agencies. Methods involved scenting hot air to force through buildings, mixing the EOs with water for a spray, and saturating cloth and cotton balls with the EOs. So I thought, hey, why not scent bags of rock salt with the EOs and scatter the salt on the ground to make snake barreiers. I'm wondering if it could be cheaper than the ridiculously expensive snake repellents at home improvement and farm supply stores, and could be a good seller too. I wonder what type of rock salt would work best, how long it would last and hold a scent on the ground, how and what amount of the EOs to scent the salt best, and other considerations. Discuss. :-) :-) :-)

So, what's this about a hassle free hybrid wax? Is there really such a thing? I haven't been here for over a year and this is a new one to me. What's up with this stuff? I'm intrigued.

You would probably wick the 4 oz Emma jar one size bigger than you wick your jjs, since it's the same diameter but shorter.

You're very wcome to join in on this th read, but you won't get the help you need with soy unless you start a soy Emma Jar testing thread in the veggie wax forum. In my opinion, 4627 Comfort Blend wax wicks similar to 6006 parasoy wax, so if you decide to try 6006 my results in this thread might help you.

Wow! You are very productive! Everything looks so scrumptious! I bet you have a big following with all ages, but especially younger ladies and gurls. Awesome!

I like the bottom pic with the nuts, but you could still crop the bottom up closer to the pinecone. Your candles look beautiful. I love the sprayed lids. By coincidence I had decided last night that if I do a canning jar I'll spray the lids to save money, and I was trying to think of which two paint colors to layer for a vintage zinc look.

I Started with 6006 but now use 4627 for candles. Based on experience setting both on warmers, the 6006 lasts longer; so if I were doing wickless I'd use 6006.

"If you really get into M&P and start selling a lot invest in a good rice cooker. I got an 8lb cooker to melt my bases in. I would put all my additives into the pot and heat them all up together. Then all I had to do was pour the soap into molds. You can make a ton of soap in a day that way by refilling it" Candybee, would a Presto pot work as well as a rice cooker? If not, what is the difference? Do you use the rice cooker with the lid on?
