I started with Joy wax from NG (there is a page on here with abbr.) then i moved to j50 i use bcn for a lot of my scents jars lids etc. NG also has a lot of nice scents. I use zinc wicks. not sure what else to let you know. But welcome and happy testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelleyBean Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Hello to you both! This place is a wealth of information and talent as well. Starting out with kits is a great way to go, but if you have passed that point, the forum (and dont forget the archives) is a great place to learn. I haven't had a question yet that someone here hasn't been able to answer for me if I couldnt find it by searching the board. Happy candle making, it's addictive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweeks37 Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 I thank you all for the information and the welcome. I have been reading and reading. With the few I have made, I really enjoy making. I'm a stay at home mom with a child with a lot of health issue. So I had to find something to do. I think I'm really going to enjoy this and I also enjoy this website. Thank you all,Cynthia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimgrace Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I thank you all for the information and the welcome. I have been reading and reading. With the few I have made, I really enjoy making. I'm a stay at home mom with a child with a lot of health issue. So I had to find something to do. I think I'm really going to enjoy this and I also enjoy this website. Thank you all,CynthiaCynthia, I am with you. I am new too. I have a little boy with health issues too, so I stay home also. I am a full time online student, and took up candle making from my neighbor. She only does containers with paraffin. I got hooked at Christmas time, and now all my friends and family is continously asking for more. So as I continue my testing and learning, my goal is to have a home based business. Only through word of mouth. I don't want to do craft fairs or home shows. Just too much for me. Maybe a few years later. Right now I am getting insured first. I am experimenting with pillars now. I am so addicted. Seems to get in the way of my homework, but nice to see I can so something beyond motherhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
