I did heat it up to wipe it; that Ecosoya PB hardens quick, lol. I'll try the Goo Gone. Thanks
-
I know this has been discussed recently, but I can't find it. I'm having trouble getting all the scent out. I now have coconut lime verbena with a side order of pink sugar..... and now I can't get blue spruce out & I wanna pour something! lol. Any suggestions? I'm thinking of soaking it in vinegar now.
-
I wanted to try some more Just Scent oils with their sample sale. Any must haves? Looking at Cactus & Sea Salt....Bahama Mama...Hot Buttery Cinnamon...Tahitian Tiare...Ocean... any reviews on these?
-
I just used some for the first time last night. Love how those little suckers fall right out of the cups. How long do they typically need to cure before testing?
-
I went back and looked at my notes, comparing prices for the same jars/lids. Candlescience (NC) charges me less for shipping than Fillmore (PA); almost a $5 difference. Cierra was the next runner-up, lol. Now I know why everyone uses jelly jars
-
My first candles and tarts!!!! :)

I've been hearing that every time I pull up to the drive through window... or it could be the Nag Champa spray I made to keep in the car. -
If they're for non-candles, couldn't you get them at Dollar Tree, Big Lot's, etc & then maybe get the lids online if you need to? That would be so expensive, imo, for shipping I just went through all the suppliers last night for jars & it's disgusting when you see the shipping costing more than jars & lids....

I use a metal cookie cutter..

Clothespins will work if you have nothing else. I've found them to be so lightweight that they like to move easily. You can use high temp glue; I'm just too impatient, lol. I like to slap the sticker on & go.
-
½ oz pp Maple Butter.. success HT in minutes. Love it... especially after burning Amish Harvest earlier today & if I hadn't literally looked at the candle, I would never have known it was lit; barely a throw in a small room. Oh well... I'm going to enjoy this for now, lol.
-
Yes, Candle Maker's Store. I haven't bought many FOs there. But the geranium does smell good OOB. I just haven't been inclined to use it yet.. maybe closer to spring
-
ooooh, good catch, lol. I like the wick stickers from CMS. I desperately need a centering gizmo..gotta find one to fit my jars though
-
Have you tried Scarlet Geranium from CMS? I have it, but haven't put in wax yet. Smells good OOB.
-
Sounds pretty good. Now do a forum search for each wax and piece together all the info to get a good starting point.
-
Do you have the link for that kit? I don't see it. I found it..
-
Scales to weigh your wax & FO. I use skewers for stirring; otherwise, something to stir with. What kinds of wax did you get?
-
Are you using a large or small pour pot? You may have too much water in the bottom of your pot.
-
Holy Crap-oli.............. you made my brain hurt, lol.
-
***double boiler***
-
Too bad Millcreek doesn't have an actual store, lol.
-
I use single-pours too......tell that to my candles! lol.. I'm experimenting with a few waxes right now. It does help to have an idea of what the others do. You can appreciate a quality in one over the other and then pick your poison I've done a few with 6006 and appearance-wise, it's the best I've done thus far. That stuff makes gorgeous candles. Haven't tested them yet though. Fingers crossed...

We'll send prayers your way. I'm down here in Kokomo, btw.
