Darbla Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I should say repeatedly buy only FOs that work with it, because you have to test an FO at least once to know if it's going to work.I'm trying to streamline my process and I wondered if that was a valid method to follow. It seems like some of you work with dozens of different waxes, wicks, and FOs, so I'm not sure if I'm overly limiting myself by being THAT streamlined. Anyway, just wondering if anyone else does this.Darbla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Yes. That is EXACTLY what we do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 It's basically what I do. Keeps things simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForHisGlory Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Yes, that is what I do. I am also eliminating any fragrance that isn't strong using only 1 oz, unless I have to have it for personal preference or on demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrie Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 That's exactly what I do as well. I can't imagine anyone using several different waxes just so they can use certain FO's! That would be very costly IMO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrycat Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Basically, I use two suppliers for my wax. One for soy and another for paraffin. That makes it easier for me. They have all the FO's I need, as well as any other supplies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I use two types of wax ... container wax & votive/pillar wax ... I buy them from the same supplier. I also use the same wicks for both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleHippie Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I use two different suppliers for my wax. I have tried many different suppliers for FO but I have 3 favorites. Just cant get everything that I like or what works well in wax from one FO supplier. I also only use FO's that I can get an good throw from using 6% or less.

Darbla Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 OK, I feel better now. Thanks! I thought I was limiting myself too much or wasn't being industrious enough. I've also bought enough FOs from different suppliers that, like PurpleHippie mentioned, I'm finding very few that are working in my wax/wick of choice and that I'm satisfied with.
