    Black tux from NG is good. I also like Tuscan tobacco from AAA, mixed with a little bay rum from Aztec.

    I just did a little comparison shopping. I only need 4 items , soaping oils and lye. Even with BB's sale, my total cost was lower at NG. Including shipping...and I am on the west coast! Shipping from BB was $14, from NG was $19. So you can see how much lower each item was at NG. I love BB, but their prices have gotten so high. Just thought I'd throw this out there.

    I have put blends in the pour pot seconds before adding wax. I've also made preblends in bottles and stored them for months. I don't notice any difference in the finished product. The pre blended bottles are convenient tho.

    I think a dozen scents to choose from would be fine. Something tells me they would all be really good ones I would like the option of smaller bottles, I just don't go through the big ones fast enough. That way I could try 1/2 dozen 8 ozers instead of 3 - 1 lbers. , (or thereabouts.)

    If @TallTayl does a co-op, hers are the best!

    I have used RBO. I like to use equal amounts of rbo and oo. Probably very similar to the soapers choice blend. Less expensive and I have not noticed a difference compared to using just oo. Never tried OO pomace. Haven't run into any DOS (yet) either. I also use RBO in my lotions and it feels very nice. It does have a short shelf life tho.

    I really like Tuscan tobacco from AAA candles.

    Well, I am no longer master of my domain either. But, but, but,..only one 16 oz bottle, and it was on sale for $10. Was just too tempting

    Well, I finally know what it feels like when you do the tongue zap test and get zapped. There is no doubt. I made a batch of soap yesterday, and unmolded today It was too still soft to cut. I've been doing the same basic recipe for several batches, and it's always ready to cut the next day. This time I did not cover and wrap, so I suspect it did not gel. Does that slow down the saponification? Can I just leave the uncut loaf alone for a few days and test again? Or should I rebatch?

    Spiced vanilla sounds good!

    I've been thinking along these lines too. I have a ton of older fo's that I need to use up. Going to do lots of q-tip blending tests. Hope to come up with a "new" scent. Of course my first thought when reading your post Gail was, is she gonna sell some?

    I don't know who has it, 'cept me. I did my own blend 1 part rose 2 parts honeysuckle. I will have to try some citrus in there too. Keep ya posted.

    I have not tried these. I did love the millennium wax, but with shipping, it got too expensive for me. The freedom is a little better price, I may have to try some. Wish they'd say what's in it.

    I have a wholesale account and I occasionally put out some items on consignment. They get 20% on the consignment. Another account: consignment items in a non profit gift shop, they get 25% . I had an account that got 30% consignment. I was not happy with the 30% account for a number of reasons. I would personally not go higher than 30% on consignment.

    I think Aztecs vanilla latte is spot on. I use it as the base then blend chocolate, or pumpkin spice, etc, to make coffee latte scents.,

    honeysuckle rose is lovely. wonder how citrus, rose and honeysuckle would be?
  18. franu61

    https://www.candlesoylutions.com/thumbnail.asp?offset=0&deep=1&cid=22 Not sure if it is hard enough for what u need, it is soy. I used to use this wax and loved it, just got too spendy for me.
  23. franu61
    Another one on the plus side. You can sell me some of your stash Oh, wait, was I supposed to talk you down ? Lol

    Lol, not a craft but I use them for my custom blends of FO's. That way I have the mix on hand, instead of mixing each time I want to make some of that scent.
