  1. Customer has a Lanolin allergy..... I don't use Lanolin in any of my products, BUT I wanted to make sure there isn't any Lanolin in E-wax or stearic, before I sold her Body Butter.... TIA!!!
  2. I wholesale these.... most popular are the 4oz and 8 oz. I do carry the 16 oz and have only 4 accounts that carry these. No window lids for me... they get all smudged with finger prints.
  3. I try to have everything done prior to the weekend..... don't do markets or craft fairs, etc. BUT this weekend I may throw a little Margarite into a candle just for myself!! Burn it and drink one to go with it!!!!
  4. Hope the pancake dispenser works, I'd love some scrub!! LOL Will keep my thinking cap on though.....
  5. If you want to try a softer container wax, you can post a ISO (in search of) in the classifieds....sure someone has a few pounds to spare of the wax your looking for....
  6. What about a professional grade pancake batter dispenser? Batter is thick....lookes like a big metal funnel and you pull the handle and a certain amount comes out?? May work...try a google search...
  7. I got sample of the Buckeye tins and I won't use them. I think the quality is inferior and they come looking all dirty.... The best price and quality I have found is at Specialty Bottle, .51 cents a piece when you buy 144 or more. I buy 300 plus all the time....great quality and service. They are in Washington state, so depending on where you live, give them time to ship. I'm in the midwest and get mine in a week. HTH Lisa
  8. What about adding it to powdered milk and/or baking soda?? Don't know really anything about this, just guessing.... maybe an expert will chime in....
  9. Hey Lee, You definitely have the wrong wicks there..... the ones in your cart are only 2.5".... those are for votives, not containers. As a newbie you definitely want a sample pack. If your going with the zinc, get the Zinc Core Sample Pack. Only $4.00 and you get 5 of each wick. May take a few tries to get the wick right on those 9 oz. jars, plus you'll have other sizes left over for when you move on to other things:D HTH
  10. I weigh all my scent in the wax coated disposible bathroom cups (dixie cups here in the US) That way I can just toss them..... If I have any left over wax, I just cool a bit and can also pour into these, great for remelting and make smaller candles (ie: 4 oz tins etc)
  11. Damn.....thats some righteous looking soap!
  12. Looks perfect to me....but I like it thick....it is marketed as a butter after all....
  13. Silicone spatula here....withstands the heat and wipes right off with a paper towel. I think wood absorbs dye and fragrances, probably not enough to make a difference, but the spatula is so easy to clean and I KNOW it doesn't absorb anything:) You can get the high heat ones even at the dollar store now....
  14. We make ours we an excel spread sheet.... so when we put all the orders in, it calculates everything for us...hth
  15. Or at least just fix the typos...just giving you a suggestion....lol. Both of my parents are writers and they always proof read for me.... when you write it and read it 80 times it is easy to miss things..... when there are grammar and spelling errors, people get turned off..... doesn't seem professional.
  16. Got some typos here: "A pleasant floral, not overpowering. The Dogwood flowers either white or pink blossoms int he spring and in the fall and winter they get red berrie." Maybe try: "A pleasant floral, not overpowering. An abundance of white and pink blossoms in the spring, turn to delicate red berries with the arrival fall and winter." Not a writer.... lol.
  17. Anyone besides Greenleaf carry this? Interested in having it for my line, but I don't order anything else from them and they are sooooooo far away!! I need another supplier like a hole in the head!! TIA
  18. K-Mart had some on clearance for $30 bucks..... got a few that way....may have to search quite a few though...lol. They are sometimes in the camping/sporting section and sometimes in with small appliances....you have to really search. Called a few and they said they didn't have any, but when I went and checked, I lucked out a found a couple they had missed....good luck!!
  19. Do a search on these you will find tons of useful information..... Our company now has 12 of these, can't imagine production with out them!! They are a candlemakers best friend!!
  20. Glo, So you get a total of 51 bars out of the 3 molds? How many pounds go into each loaf? Looking to make 4 oz bars...... TIA
  21. Do the drawer organizers give you a straight sided soap? AND do they fit in the soap boxes???? Needing to start making soap in high volume...about 64 bars a day, so I need something that will give me straight sides and uniform size to fit in a soap box (from Kangaroo Blue). Not really wanting to invest a ton in wood mold. Any advice is appreciated.... even links to purchasing reasonably priced loaf molds!! TIA
