  1. I heat up any butters I'm using, then add powdered goat milk to those. Lumps disappear fast with stirring. I'm like Candybee & not good with the freezing part & the ammonia smell.
  2. I'm working with HP this week, after seeing Pumas beautiful HP soaps. I didn't like it before, but WOW!!!!!!! Fragrance Buddys MWs dupe of Lavendar Sage.
  3. Midnight Musk-this is a new one, not sure about it, I have it in soap & wax, although it's a good scent, may not be strong enough for me. Puma said it is when I gave her some soap & FO. The rest of these are my favorites. Cherished Fairy Dust & TwinkleToes Fallen Leaf Peony White Tea Orange Tea & Crumpets-AWESOME!!!!! Crushed Strawberry & Rhubarb Sultry Angel Brewed Jasmine Vanilla Voodoo Neroli De La Luna Pepper & Port Cranberry Compote Ooey Gooey Caramel Goodness Tiger Lily & Cantaloupe has the best scent but only light HT for me. Soapaloozas Cantaloupe & Lily is great & very close to CCs. but it's strong in wax! We should start an 1oz for 1oz trade thinghy on the forum!
  4. She doesn't know what she's been missing. I have a list Candybee, if you need it!
  5. I sure will, it sounds like fun! Welcome right back at ya & Thank-You! I'm thinking, I'll be here at least another year.
  6. It's awesome! Get Fallen Leaf while you're looking at her stuff.
  7. Majestic Mountain Sage https://www.thesage.com/catalog/index.html
  8. Whatever I have to use to get the same exact scent as CSs, that's what I'm looking for. I use paraffin, soy & palm, so maybe one of those will throw.
  9. Thanks, most of the FOs I try in the tins with 464 & Ecos look like that all the way down. Awesomely!!!!!!! Thanks to OG for introducing me to 464. I still feel 415 has better HT, but the wicking is not as good as in 464. The HT is extremely light. I have Tassi Lavendar & I'll order her Blue Chamomile next. CSs version has such a beautiful scent, I'll have to try making my own.
  10. I hi-jacked your post! Sorry! I hope anything I'm asking is helping you, also.
  11. Ok, that's good to know. I've stopped testing wicks that were working very well because of what I thought was too tall of a flame after 3 or 4 hours. What about soot on the glass after that length of time. I'm using a 50/50 mix of 4786 & 4627. Right now in either a 12oz status or a 12oz madison, each about 3" wide by maybe 3,5" tall. 51z works pretty good, alright HT, no the best but ok. Full MP doesn't happen until maybe less then an inch left of the wax. 60z does the same thing, a little better HT. I have a 62z in at this point, with 2" left of the wax. Just started so don't know about HT. Thanks for any & all help.
  12. This forum helped me so much when my husband passed away in 2010. Slow motion is an accurate way to describe life while grieving.
  13. I use that one too. When I can remember it, that is!!!!!!
  14. I'm all out of the Elements DB, I'll let you know as soon as I order more. Unless Ravens answers 1st. I want to say yes, but not until I'm sure.
  15. Thanks for the info. No, not tunneling, just maybe 1/4 an inch of hangup until the very end.
  16. Flicker does the following mean the flame height can be up to 3inches? I know I wouldn't want a candle burning with that large of a flame, but are they saying it's ok? : •Maximum Flame height requirement – UP TO 3 INCHES (MOST CANDLES)– UP TO 3.75 INCHES (CERTAIN RELIGIOUS CANDLES)– Candles intended to be burned outside are exempt I have been unable to achieve a full MP or even very close on any candle, that doesn't get too hot later on in the final burns. I'm still testing after a very long time & getting sick of not having a candle to sell. Am I worrying too much that a person won't trim the wick correctly & have a large flame to start? I can use a larger wick & they work very good if trimmed correctly. Great HT too. Smaller wicks don't achieve a full MP until the bottom inch of a 3 or 4"
  17. Do you have any Ecos? I love them with 464. I'd start with 2 Eco 4's if you have them. I usually start with 2CD 4's to dblwick. I hope this will help!
  18. Too bad we can't post it in the original link on Facebook.
  19. Well, I'm totally disgusted, she didn't go very far in researching Calypso Candles. I did, is linen a natural fragrance? They sell paraffin pillars!!!!!!!

  20. I'm pretty sure this is the one. http://www.lebermuth.com/oil-patchouli-/90-2553-06/
  21. What is this discoloration at the bottom of the wax Started by Azsunset, Jul 19 2014 05:03 PM Does it look like the pic in the above post? I'll try to get a link for it. Sorry I can't link the post! Maybe try covering the jars with a box while they are cooling? http://www.craftserver.com/topic/105139-what-is-this-discoloration-at-the-bottom-of-the-wax/?view=findpost&p=985639 I figured it out! Woo Hoo, I'm just so smart!
  22. I've only tried Nutmeg & Ginger so far, it is awesome!
