OK folks...I just got back from Ace Hardware and they had the red devil and the Roebic brand lyes I got a cpl of bottles of the red devil. I paid $5.49 for 18oz. is that good? If so they had atleast 20 or so bottles left if anyone wants some I can get it and ship it to you. Just let me know.

Angie

Thats great Jeana:yay: did you check out the one thread talking about Roebic Crystal Drain Opener??? Has anyone used this?? I may have to check that out.

Thanks so much

Angie

Well I have searched almost everywhere around here today and no luck in finding red devil:cry2: Someone posted a site that sells it on line if you would like to check out my other thread on lye.

Angie

Welcome, you will love it here I know I do:yay: everyone is very helpful and you will learn alot just by reading and asking questions.

Angie

OK here is my little area of the basement.....maybe one day I can have some as nice as some of the others I have seen on here, but right now i pretty much only make tarts so this works.

Angie

Thanks guppygirl....I will check krogers today and the link helps alot:yay:

Angie

Luvcandletarts where would that be? Not sure sorry....but I would love to see it.

Thanks Angie

valleygrls I hope somone post to this because I would love to know as well:grin2:

Angie

Thanks scented....is that warm water or cold or does it matter?? maybe a dumb question but I dont know:grin2:

Angie

Hi Tartaddict,

I make the labels for my tarts and wickless candles. I put the labels on the lid of the jars. HTH

Angie

They make a medium that you can add to paint to paint your candles. I seen some at Joannes fabric. They may make a special paint also but I really dont know about that.

HTH Angie

Thanks crafty. I will try lowes and there is an Ace around here...I may just have to add that to my to-do list for tomorrow.

Angie

Hi Tamara,

I am fairly new but I believe one stands for Bitter Creek South and the other for North....some please correct me if i am wrong.

Angie

LOL we must have been posting at the same time. I will try them and maybe I will post the results.....who knows someone else here may be close to her as well. I can tell you that her scents are really good.

Thanks again for all your help!!!!:smiley2:

Angie

I really havent searched for her....when I started going to her she sold the waxes that I had heard about (astro.) now she is changing on me... she says they are really good waxes but I was just curious what every one else thought and knew. She is really helpful and it is nice to have someplace soooo close to me. But i just dont know alot about these new waxes.

Angie

Angela....here is the web address of where i go.....http://www.juliescandles.com/index.htm .....hopefullyI did that right. if you click on her site on the left side is the list of waxes....is that the same as what you are talking about?

Thanks for your help.

Angie

Angela....I just posted another thread check it out if you will. My supplier is changing waxes:eek: i dont know if this is good or bad.

Angie

I am one of the lucky ones to have a local supplier. They always carried the Asto. waxes but now they are switching to waxes called JCS.. The wax for tarts, pillars, and votives is called JCS 6391 and the container wax is JCS 6325 and JCS 1275. I am going to try it but was curiuos if anyone has used this and what they think.

Thanks Angie

PS i have a web addy for her if you need to see what I am talking about

Angela....how cool do you pour if you dont mind me asking??

Angie

Chris....your candles are the ones I am talking about...I love how shiney they look. I think you did a really good job. I am soooo jealous (lol)

Angie

hmmm never thought about that I may just need to use the 6228. I will try that now since I need to buy more wax tomorrow anyways.. Thanks Angela:highfive:

Angie

I got my at wally world as well.....remember its your one stop shopping spot:grin2: atleast it pretty much is for me....I practically live there...lol

Angie

I have just been using mp to make soaps....I am just starting to play around alittle but i would like to venture out. Where can I get lye?? I have looked at walmart but cant find any red devil....i will try lowes but is there something else that can be used or is there another place i need to go to find lye.

Thanks Angie

I use 1 oz. FO per lb to a 50/50 blend of J223 and 6228. I have a heat gun I will try that. Thanks guys:grin2:

Angie

Thanks Chris.....I use metal molds but maybe I am not pouring hot enough....how hot do you pour?

Angie:smiley2:
