  1. Thank you :-) In my candles, I now use a CD 10 in a 6,5 cm container and with soy I used a CD 5. So it is a big difference, at least from the soyblend I used. /Yvonne
  2. Of course I don't mind you asking :-) For scents from Candle Cocoon I use about 5% and others around 7-8%. In soy I usually used up to 9% . I have a few that doesn't behave with my CD wicks but I will discountinue them, I will only use scents that work with rapeseed and CD/CDN's. /Yvonne
  3. I use rapeseed wax as well The more I use it the more I love it. I'm swithing from soy. Rapeseed doesn't frost and I get a better HT from it. The hard thing is wicking, rapeseed requires a lot bigger wick then soy. I use cd cdns and for me they work just fine.
  4. I used to have a border around and liked them better, but since I print them myself they sometimes doesn't go through the printer absolutley straight and its much more visible with the border.
  5. I want to make my labels look better and need some inspiration. Here is how my candles look today (labels in swedish) /Yvonne
  6. So sad the BNL has a flashpoint under 200, I can't have it shipped to Sweden :-(
  7. Thanks everyone, I can't believe how easy it is to make tarts compared to candles ;-)
  8. Just started making tarts. I make all of them in heartshape, having a hard time to find any good molds here in Sweden. They are about 0,5 oz and the customers are supposed to mix and match scents for personal favorites. I use Ecosoya PB for those.
  9. and for me many are throwing great. It's strange how differernt HT can be in different waxes. I use a blend of EcoSoya CB-135 and Xcel. I just love her FO and particular Honey Gingerbread!
  10. Of the 28 samplers I got, only 6 had good throw and only 4 smelled great but they sure was great.
  11. I think The Candlemakers Store have one
  12. I tried some of their Christmas scents in paraffin and I liked them. I have some FO left and I will try them in soy. They have a lot to choose from but I find it strange that no one seams to have heard of them.... When I got my testers they shipped fast and there was no problem at all.
