  1. I use 6006 para/soy. i do not wick up. Burns great.
  2. I've used 6006 for 15 years. In 6 oz tins, I use cd 7 or 8 almost always. In 11 oz tureens, I double wick with z-32 or z-28. I always use 10% fo. We have done 100s of fundraisers and never had a problem. Some fos just don't throw so don't use them. We don't cure our candles but they might be stronger at 2 wks. In 15 yrs, we have gotten 1 bad case of wax. You'll know if wax is bad, it won't burn. I used to buy fos direct from Agilex but now use fos from BCN, Aztec, Fragrance Buddy, WSP and Lone Star. I'm not sure you are using good fos. IMHO
  3. AAA Candle Supplies will male up the old Taylored Scents version called Leather and Lace. This leather is outstanding. we have used it for 13 years.
  4. BCN has the only cinnamon I use. Called Red Hot Cinnamon.
  5. WSP's First Snow is the best snow I've used
  6. Those came from WSP. It was surplus bottles.
  7. 6006 by itself will not work for melts. it adheres to plastic, We add 25% igi 4694 to 6006 so wax will release.
  8. Just checked and BCN does sell the VS in 1 #. Guess mine just got too old.
  9. I agree. If you can use up a gallon in 6 months, you should be fine. I also use it in some patchoulis, etc. I just don't like dark soap. Thks!
  10. Hubby just checked our VS BCN that quit working and it was over 1 year old. You can tell because the strong smell goes away. I guess that's what we get for buying the gallon.
  11. The BCN VS liquid went bad before we used it. We didn't realize it and soap turned black as soon as it was unmolded and exposed to air.
  12. The VS from Bcn does not last over 6 months, that's how we ended up with 2 batches of black soap. That's why I am looking for something cheaper than WSP.
  13. Used BCN stabilizer for years then found WSPs was better. WSPs has increased in price so much, I can no longer afford it. What other vanilla stabilizer works well for CP?
  14. Moonshine, you did take one for the team. Thank you for posting. I got my order from Aztec and I ordered the spa cups by mistake, lol. I did reorder the others and they are supposed to be here today. I filled up a spa cup with my melts and boy, did it let out the fragrance. My warmer gets very hot (Levines) but cup did not melt. I see the Yankxx warmer has an aluminum built-in cup just in case the plastic melts, cya. I would bet that Auralites makes the cup and lid for them, but we'll never have access to them. Refill your cup and try it on a regular warmer. I'd bet it works. I will make some melts to use with my daughter's and my warmers. Thks for your effort and great pics!!
  15. the Yankxx warmers must not get real hot so they don't melt the plastic. As soon as I get the cup, I'll fill it and put them on one of my warmers.
  16. AHHH, just got this off Kohl's site. PRODUCT FEATURES: Reusable, melt-resistant cup stacks for easy storage. Fruity scent freshens up your home. PRODUCT DETAILS: 2.2-oz. Melts up to 24 hours Paraffin wax Plastic
  17. Kohl's is in the next city and I haven't been yet, but I did find a Yankxxx pic which showed 2.3 ozs. I am pretty sure they are the same but just have an added lid. I ordered some cups from Aztec yesterday. Like you, I don't want to spend $10. to get a Yankxxx quick melt cup from Amazon shipped. We'll soon know!
  18. I found a mfg in the US http://www.auralites.com/maxi-lite-cups These may be the ones AZTEC sells. I think Yankxxx's are a bit larger. I'll go to Kohl's and measure.
  19. Who in the states sells the maxi-cups?
  20. Maybe they are the maxi-tealights, but they have to be super high-melt plastic. Ha, I tried the little condiment cups, but they melted. I have done an extensive search but??
  21. Has this been asked? What are the Yankxxx easy melt cups made of? Anyone know where to buy unfilled?
  22. This problem around the wick tabs is the same as vanilla in a tin forming a rust ring. You can't see it so no prblem.
  23. Peak's does really well as a replacement for BCS BNB.
