Candybee Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I can't tell you how many times I have used leftover FOs to make new scent combinations. Its a practice I use to come up with something new and also to use up that FO so I don't lose my money. We should start a discussion thread on our leftover oils and see what combos we can come up with to help each other out with!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I just disposed of probably 20 lbs of old oils and have another 20 lbs to dispose of this week. Colossal waste of money, but they were/are too old to salvage. I bought these back when I was doing shows and selling retail. Oh, the lessons we learn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I think you just have to chalk it up to R&D expenses if they are unsalvageable. I know I have some real oldies too. But hope springs eternal as I keep trying to think up ways to mix them or use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbenimble Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 YES!! It is what it is lmbo! I say that all the time and people look at me like I'm a looney tune.Hey, one more month til school is back, then labor day, and then the mad rush to make the fall stuff here in the mid-atlantic region. Before you know it, our suppliers will be sold out of our best sellers. Ack, horrible thought. So, pretty much 2 months til we ( in this area ) hit our peak season.I started making fall scents in June so they could get a long cure time before my shows. Now to start on my holiday scents next! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

so-soy Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) I just disposed of probably 20 lbs of old oils and have another 20 lbs to dispose of this week. Colossal waste of money, but they were/are too old to salvage. I bought these back when I was doing shows and selling retail. Oh, the lessons we learn I'm in the same boat with ya! Many many bottles need to be tossed...it's been 4 years since I sold anything. Have to go through so many to see the condition of them if usable but most will be tossed.

Candybee Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I've got a 'retired' FO shelf with about 6 boxes full I don't use anymore. Sigh... I keep looking at them thinking of all that money going to waste! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
