eugenia Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 When I joined CT, there was one of these in place for candles. I am testing a candle for a fellow member right now; the candle came to me with a test data sheet and return envelope. I think this is very wise.In the **olden days** you could sign up as an experienced tester or testee looking for feedback and online matches were made. This is something that should come back and not just for candles. Would be very helpful in B&B also.What would need to be done to get this going?e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 You're talking what Vicky had set up? If so, I agree all the way. And it would be great for both candlemaking and B&B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 This was a great program on the old board. Vickie did a good job matching people by wax type and experience level. I think it needs to be reinstated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fern Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I also agree. I had some of my candles tested back in the day and it was very helpful...at least I knew what I had done wrong and was able to correct it. Some people aren't even sure what a correctly burning candle is suppose to look like...I know that I didn't when I first started out...they looked good to me until someone pointed out that I had some problems with it...something I would have never known had it not been brought to my attention.

Sara Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Maybe she's still doing this. I sent her a message so she doesn't miss this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 That would be great. Would love to have a couple of testers for my B&B since I am so new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Maybe she's still doing this. I sent her a message so she doesn't miss this thread.Awesome! I think she's still doing it if she gets requests, but perhaps that needs to be brought over to this board instead of being the archives?

Vicky_CO Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I could reinstate this program if you would like. I have not had a request for a long time now even before the old board went down. It would not take much to reactivate it as I still have all the stuff for it. I would just have to advertise for new testers as most of our testers have changed names. When I get to my shop later I will look all the information back up and start it again. With Bunnys help we could also put something together for B&B.

Grannyscandles Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I would love to be a part of this testing program. How totally awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shell1226 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 This would be wonderful. I'm actually getting ready to send out B&B test items (finally). I'm also testing a new candle wax that I could second opinions on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrubzz Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I would gladly take part in this also - an awesome idea - but due to the fact that I am totally clueless my contribution would have to be more of being the one who sends out the lumps of wax with a wick sticking out of them for others to test than being the one who gets to do the actual testingsignedscrubzz, the Destroyer of Perfectly Good Wax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunny Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 With Bunnys help we could also put something together for B&B.Absolutely! Will take a gander at the archives and catch up!

Fern Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I'd be happy to be a tester if you need one...I've got 3 years of experience that could be helpful to someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Whooo hooo! I think it would be great to have both! I know on the B&B side, if I ever get to making even half the things I want to try, that I wouldn't really know what to look for and would like to find ways to improve them as I learn. And Vicky I'd still be interested on the candle side too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicky_CO Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Bunny and I are working out a system by which you will be able to get you candle and B&B tested. Hopefully we will have a way to sign up sometime next week.Thank you all that want to participate as either a tester or testee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
