    Same here... no priming and no wick pins (except for votives)

    So true rjdaines! For my wax blend, I can use 51z or 60z in 3 - 4" (depending on FO) and us 62z for 4 - 5"

    Thank you Talltayl, and Candybee! This gives me an idea on what to expect and why, and thoughts about how to handle it! Very helpful.. Thanks!!

    How much should M&P bars 'shrink' and is there anything you can do to stop/reduce it?

    Your soap is beautiful! You did excellent on the photo too, well worth braving the "cold"

    Like doglvr, I won't read through that many, but do believe you need a a good variety including unique ones. But, I totally agree with Scented - if she really is moving 240lbs of wax per month and not making a decent profit - she has problems other than too many scents.

    oh wow - the place I got my 150 doesn't list it anymore!! Guess I better guard what I have... maybe PamW knows somewhere else to get it?? http://letitshineusa.com/products.asp?cat=18

    IF I understand correctly, kaolin clay added to bath bombs will make them harder (please, correct me if I'm wrong). I want to try this, but can't find any info on how much to use. Can anyone give me a starting point for testing? TIA!!

    The polyboost increases the amount of FO the wax will hold, and can increase the mottling as well. No, Peak doesn't have it - in fact, I only know of one place to get it... and would have to look it up! lol Let me know if you want to try a little, I can send you enough to do a little test with.

    I'm speaking of presto pots too but I even unplug them when I go upstairs to take the dog out for 10 minutes. I don't trust them and monitor constantly because I have had one of them "runaway" on me before (numerous times). It's a pain to wait for the wax to get back up to temp when I get back, but much less pain than the possible alternative.

    Thanks Scented - Yes, I use PM for other things and am very happy with them - I've never used shrink wrap though, so was curious as they state theirs are PVC and allwhitecandles doesn't say what theirs are...

    I use IGI1274 from Peak with great success. (I also add Polyboost 150)

    Thanks Talltayl! That's perfect - I know I "need" some other things from there to make the order worth the shipping!!

    Okay, you guys got me interested and I've already ordered some grapefruit! But, I'm having a heck of a time finding a champagne... suggestions?? I want to mix it, so didn't want to get champagne & strawberries or anything... just champagne...

    has anyone used shrink bags from PaperMart? from research it appears most prefer allwhitecandles, but papermart is less expensive and I need other things from them anyway... anyone? :undecided

    Very colorful and inviting!! Good Job!!

    It is great - but, yes, it will discolor soap...

    I use onlinelabels too - I had to switch to the weatherproof because my usual ones didn't stick well - but, not a problem with the weatherproof at all!
  22. ksranch
    Looks fantastic!!

    I don't know about Soy, but you can with paraffin.
  24. ksranch
    what kind of mottling wax are you using? is it IGI? I use IGI1274 with Polyboost and get fantastic results. Don't even have to 'box' them to slow cooling or anything...
