kyme1911 Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 First attempt at my new mold's (crown and logo) I used EcoSoya PB...IDK the CT isn't very strong (Bacci de Miele and blackberry blend). I should wait a week, to test? The logo mold I plan to "someday" also use for shave soap and lotion bars. Was I supposed to add CO to this wax or not? I didn't...

BeckyW Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Very cute. I can't answer your question of if you should have added something. I more or less wanted to let you know I thought they were cute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 (edited) Some FO's Do not have a strong CT which is sad as becuase even if the HT is great it is hard to sell.Who did you logo mold? Edited April 11, 2010 by Vicky_CO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyme1911 Posted April 11, 2010 Author Share Posted April 11, 2010 Thanks...the Logo mold was made by Precision Craft Molds, Susan is a lovely person to work with.Kyme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin146 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Before you blame the FO I would let them sit a few day even a week. With ecosoya pb the longer it sits the stronger they get. Just the other day I found a votive that was made about 2 years ago and man did it still smell sooooo good. I am burning it right now and the HT is just wonderful.

charmcandleco Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 They are truly very cute kyme. You will have to post a picture of the packaged product. You have such an inventive way of packaging your candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyme1911 Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 Thanks, I found some little corrugated treasure boxes at Papermart. I haven't got them yet but when I do, I'll post. I haven't figured out the packaging for logo ones yet. Now that I have the custom molds I will try and make as many things as possible.LOLKyme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah-soy Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Your logo tarts look like gold coins...maybe wrap them in gold and silver candy foils? Although that would hide the nice design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

French Hill Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 The molds came out great. I am glad you found them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyme1911 Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 The molds came out great. I am glad you found them. I found little resin drawer pulls...so I asked a fellow board member Van_Yulay if she would make the molds for me. She is awesome, she did fantastic job, they needed to be bulit up ( or the top would break off easily). You can't even tell were she added to them. Awesome job.Kyme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacquiO Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 You can use a tbs CO per pound in the ecosoya PB or not. If it the wax works fine for you it's not necessary. My biggest problem with the PB as with all soy pillar blends is cracking I find a little CO and slow cooling can help with that. I think your tarts look fantastic. You could box both those shapes in the same scent together. Or do a mix of two complementing fragrances so that it could be melted as a blend. I think it would make a great signature line for you company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try testing some different combinations.Kyme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
