Looks great!!

I just looked, and their site is the same as it's always been.

I love them, and they're fairly close, but their site sucks, lol. You need to call.

Same here. I always just call to order.

Make sure your LS is slightly warm before adding fo. That will usually help

That is sad but I just may have to place an order. Do they adjust the invoice later because I don't see the sale prices listed?

Tara,

What department did you talk to? The switched me from department to department.

Ya know I think I actually disputed it online. It's been awhile. If you log into your DHL account and click on the invoice, to the bottom of that there is a link to dispute it. I just explained I was being over charged by being charged for an oversized box and the box was only like a 12x12x12 box. They were trying to charge me $125:shocked2: but they quickly corrected within a day or 2. Then I paid it

Hmm. I must be the odd one out because I love DHL. I have had only one overcharge in 5 years of using them and they corrected it right away. I would want to know why you are being charged what you are being charged before you pay them and tell them that. My over charge was from the size of the box being put into their system wrong and I was charged for an overisize package. But they quickly corrected it. I would call them again.

I usually scent mine with 2%

Those are very cute. My kids are too old for those:( but I would love to make them for my little niece. Her b-day is coming up. You did a great job

Hi Tara,

In GL and TN 70/30 Scented Beans Strawberry Shortcake, Rose, Almond Biscotti, Raspberry Cream and Heavenly Cinnabun throw GREAT!!

All of these are definitely "must haves" in 70/30 (all at 1 oz. pp).

Strawberry Shortcake is incredible. I always get 2 lbs. at a time with this one, sells great.

Rose also sells well and is very strong.

Thanks:smiley2:

I just finished test Lavender Fields from The Scented Bean and was very impressed. I was reading on her site and she tests all her oils in soy wax. I use a para soy and was amazed at the hot throw after only a 1 day cure. After 3 days it was even stronger but not asthma attack strong. HTH

I tested CS first... I find it very true, and it isn't weak in my 70/30 blend. I almost always choose CS over other suppliers, if the FO is comparable, since I can drive there to P/U orders.

Ah ok so you chose CS because you can pick it up. Gotcha. Thanks

they have really good cinnamon buns (there are two different kinds), but I prefer CS's cinnamon buns

May I ask why you prefer CS's? Is it the throw? I have tried CS's and find it to be on the light side.

Wow, thanks all. Looks like I can't go wrong with whatever I choose then.

I have only purchased their Lavender Fields and was more than impressed with this fo in my parasoy. With only a 1 day cure, it is throwing like mad in the house!!! I want to place another order with them. Any recommendations?

Thanks for the recommendations. I will order some samples of each.

Who has the best as far as scent throw and most truest to the perfume?

I make baby shower favors from baby food jars and use Angel Wings from NG. It's a powdery vanilla but not a baby powder smell.

Thanks, Tara,

Do you mean that your area wants 100% soy? That is the problem I am having. I love the 6006, but am trying to get them closer to what they want. I use CD's with my 6006 and love them.

Thanks again for the info.

Rae:D

Well, not 100% so much as they want as much soy as they can get. So they are okay with a 70/30 blend. I think it's all the soy hype they read about. But who knows. I just need to carry what sells the best.

Beautiful!! May not have been want you wanted but I think they are beautiful

I just did this today with some liquid colors. I started with yellow(8 drops) and and just a tad of brown. I made sure my yellow was nice and bright before adding the brown though. HTH

I did test it and I did like it. I tested it with CD's and CDN's. The CDN's seemed to do better by not allowing the jar to get too hot but the CD's weren't bad either. Wet spots weren't present either which is nice. I would stick with this wax if my area would allow it...LOL. I have one tester left of Watermelon from RE and the hot throw on that one will cover most of my house and that's from a jelly jar so I was pretty impressed. Just wish I could use it.

I was going to ask about the testing...thanks for the info.

You are very welcome:) I found the CD and CDN wicks to work the best. The CDN actually burned cooler but scent throw was about the same

you tested the 6036? What didn't you like about it?

Oh, I liked it but around here people want either all soy or mostly soy. And the 6036 is more like a 50/50. But I did like it. Burns clean and CT& HT is great.

Tara, Have you looked into www.candlescience.com they are in NC

I have and tested the 6036 which is a nice wax but I need a 70/30 blend and actually the shipping isn't that bad at all but thanks

Hmmmm... this is the problem with Failors books.... she gives you hints but doesn't explain too clearly.

Oh I agree with that. Good luck with your adventure
