I hear you on shipping costs. Try asking in the Classies and see if someone can send you some cheaper. Good luck.

Leisa2003...it does sound like a good blend doesn't it...hope you can come up with your own mix. Yeah, the one from JS was very short lived.

From what I've read on those FB wax/tart pages, the one they all seem to like is the one with Cherry, Vanilla & Coconut. Wish the JS version was stronger for me.

I tried the one from JS in my para-soy tart blend and it's very light...too light in fact that I'm not sure it'll even be good to use as a mixer. Smells good OOB but in my wax it just didn't perform.

How's Oregon in para-soy or do they mostly cater oils for b&b?

I feel your pain!! I had that same thing happen with a red (not from Peaks)...I think it was from Candlescience. Now when I open a new dye bottle I peek inside to see how far it's filled up. Live & learn huh.

Same here...a few worked but not many in my wax and I've tried quite a few.

Just saw that...amazing. They say it's lighter on the maple side but I have a pretty good maple I could boost it with that. Didn't realize they were reformulating the Holly Berry too.

Everytime I go on their site I keep checking to see if it's back in stock. Had hopes it would have been back in stock for the Fall/Winter season.

It's my understanding that the KY is 70/30...70% paraffin & 30% soy. It's what I've read but do not know 100% the exact percentages.

Thanks Chandler...will give her a buzz tomorrow.

I just went on their site and it's still showing "out of stock" along with a lot of others. Chandlers...how did you get to order it? Did you have to call & place your order?

I had someone ask me if I made them yesterday...I don't. She said for some reason the ones she's been buying from several places (major retailers) are all of a sudden very weak and seemed watered down.

Pixie...if you don't mind sharing..did you do a 50/50? I have like 20# of 4627 I'm trying to figure out how to use up.

Sounds very encouraging!!! So many samples I've gotten in from various suppliers have been less than stellar. Will have to give them a look. Look forward to seeing how they do in wax. Post again once you do.

Blacktieaffair...do you use the 4794 straight or mixed with a container wax?

I too have come across this problem. My last several orders from NG was not up to snuff...weak, bland, very little OOB scent and disappointing CT & HT...I only do tarts. They use to be one of my top suppliers. Whatever is going on I wish it would stop...I've thrown away more samples than I care to know. If I order 10 samples, I'm lucky if one is a keeper..didn't use to be this way.

Congratulations!!! Who do you purchase the 3022 from?

When I use my tealight burner for melts they don't last as long as when I use my 2 in 1 electric burner (24watts). It's been my experience tealights burn hotter shortening the melts fragrance lifespan. It also depends on the height of where the tealight sits from the bowl. I have a short squatty tealight burner and melts will last around 3-4 hrs because of the heat. My taller burner will last longer because the tealight is farther away from the bowl. Hope this makes sense.

I tried a 50/50 of 4625 & 4627 a couple of months back and found the tarts to be on the "tacky" feeling side. You might still want to try it to see what you think.

I was just going to mention the bags...if you found them in the jewelry making dept and if they are the same ones my Wal-Mart sells, they are not polypro. When I first started years ago I used them without knowing and they did suck the scent out...found out the hard way.

ChandlerWicks...I remember about FB oils..what a waste. Anyway, am moving on...lol Will try a few of hers..thanks for the heads up on Witches Brew OOB...that's one on my "want" list. Off to see what kind of damage I can do.

May have to break down and buy some..been eyeing them for a long time. Since they are "thick" are they hard to mix in?

Always wanted to try her oils...I only make paraffin tarts..how are they in paraffin?

Oh thank you so much Karen M!!! I've been on the fence about ordering. And, thanks for the other FO suggestions...Pears N Berries sounds delicious!!!
