    CS's Oakmoss and Amber is my new favorite belnder. It is great with lavender, or macintosh apple. Screams fall.

    I travel to Reno once a year and pick up from candlescience (about 8 hours away). But we make it a family get together, I meet up with my bro and sis along the way. We spend the night and lose money at the casinos. We split costs of room and meals and gas. And I can write off some of it for business. I would never drive that far just for pickup.

    Well, ... I guess it won't tunnel...

    I color my tins because I make big batch of a particular scent, and it goes into tins and jars. I offer a lot of different scents, and like TT said, color does make it easier to find.

    When I am blending scents I use my old prescriotion or vitamin bottles. Put them on the scale, tare it our and then you can measure amounts of each fo that you want.

    Brambleberry. https://www.brambleberry.com/shop-by-craft/bath-bombs/kits I've never used the bath bomb kits but I have tried others. I love BB they think of everything and have great instructions and tutorials. And the kits are on sale right now.

    Right now they are offering 2 promo codes to get 5/$5 and they can be used together. Plus they have 3 FO's for free. the codes are INSTAAUG and 82019. then look for the Free fragrances and add them to cart.

    My city required me to get a business license before I could operate out of my house. To get a bus lic. I needed to have a business checking account, get a ficticious business name, run the notice in the local paper, and wait months for the local fire marshal to sign off that my "busines set up would be safe?" (He never did come check out the house, so I have no idea what he did). My zoning is such that I cannot SELL from my house, but I can manufacture. People outside the city limits in my county do not need one.

    The only sales at NG are the fragrance of the month, they offer a different scent each month for $12 a pound, and they always offer $1 off per pound if you buy 5 or more . Also .50cents off per sample if you buy 10 or more. And rewards points each time you buy. (No I don't work there but I do take advantage of all the sales)

    I ran across this when I was doing a search on how to make room sprays: ... Sprinkle your favorite Fragrance Oil into the wax near the wick of a candle before it is lit. ...

    Thank you so much Candybee. No peeking??? That may be the hardest part, lol. To prove I am a complete newbie, what does SB stand for?

    I actually did try a little scrap...felt great. As for color I was going for purple and blue but the purple morphed. Couple questions: Is that soda ash on top and can I do anything about it at this point? I see a couple air bubbles, is that because I didn't bang it on the table hard enough?

    Well there's paper towels. I don't waste them as I use the waxed up ones as firestarters, but they ARE expensive. What kind of wax are you using? My 464 does clean up with a LOT of dawn, but harder waxes may not. I soak the ( regular) towels in the dawn and HOT water, course then there's the problem of where to dispose of the waxy water...in my case on some weeds in the yard...
