LizF Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 What's your preference? From a practical standpoint I like the tube. On the other hand I find the pots to be a bit more elegant the only drawback is getting the balm under your fingernails when your dipping into it.

Demenshia Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 From a customer's point of view (haven't made any yet ) I like the look of the pots but I never buy them as I have long nails and I don't like to get stuff on my fingers...I only buy in the tubes...HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I don't like a pot because they will grow germs from dirty fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I took a survey on this very question on another board. The answers overwhelmingly favored tubes, so I only make & sell tubes. HTH Edited to add: Personally, I find dipping with my grody fingers a bit unnerving. I prefer tubes for my own use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizF Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 So fast you all are! I was leaning towards the tubes all along, guess I just wanted some affirmation. Tubes it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockmonkey Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 But pots are so much easier! The problem I had with tubes is that I would fill them and as they hardened they shrunk, showing a hole in the middle of the tube. I know other people suffer from the same thing and have been advised just to pour more over the top once they've hardened. That's just too much effort in my opinion.

Stacey J. Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I like the tubes, but for testers I always pour a pot with each fragrance. Seems to work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just too much effort in my opinion.Top them off with more base and once it starts to harden hit with a heat gun to meld the original base and the topped off base together, otherwise the topped off base with just fall of when you roll it up.BTW, I find the tubes much more practical, and yes the pots look nice, especially those English style at MMS:Dbut I prefer to make and sell the tubes. I want the oval tubes next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I have tubes and sliders; they both sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Pots only for me. Tubes tend to have the product break off before it is finished. Is no one else as clumsy as me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Night Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I like looks of a pot but I only buy in tubes. Those pots start to look pretty nasty after a few swipes of my finger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
