Ravens Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Got that right, humor will keep you younger and heathier; they still ask for my ID whenever I buy liquor! Humor does all kinds of great things, I tell ya; it even helps me deal with that naughty devil:laugh2:Again a prime example of why we don't browse any of the E sites much... LOL Then again I guess it could be good therapy... they say humor is good for you, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixie Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) I think they are either lying, not very smart, or inexperienced. Either way, I don't think they will be in business long. 3 oz per lb is not only a waste of money but will cause unsafe conditions, excessive smoke, soot etc. (unless they are just tarts)And there is such a thing as a candle smelling too strong!! After getting my candle system down just right I've had to actually back off the normal 1oz per lb FO because after making so many candles, my family decided they don't like the "smack you in the face till your eyes water" candles. I enjoy a well burning candle with a pleasant scent. Extremely strong smelling candles can be too distracting ...instead of relaxing.

pixie Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I think she says she only does that in her melts.Yes, thank you Beth. I see that now. When I originally responded, I did so after working a 12 hr shift. Sorry 'bout that, and thanks for the clarification. Even in tarts however, I fail to see how using 3oz pp is useful or practical. In fact, making such a claim makes me skeptical of the seller themself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymonkey66 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 People are people, and they'll say and do whatever to make a sale. In 12 years in this business this is not the worst I've seen. Usually they don't last anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgregww Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 It is possible to use 3oz per pound, may not be necessary though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollTide Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Oh, that's me on the site. NOT! LOL! On Ecosoya's site they say "Many fragrances work in PB, especially those designed for soy wax in general. Recommended maximum scent load is about 12%". Is this two ounces per pound or has my lack of math skills reared it's ugly head? LOL Thanks!

Guest OldGlory Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 RollTide, according to my math, 12% is 2 oz per lb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollTide Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 @OldGlory RollTide, according to my math, 12% is 2 oz per lb. LOL I LOVE that smiley face! And thanks so much! I'm mathmatically challenged! One night I think I spent and hour trying to figure out how much my large pour pot weighted with 16 ounces of wax! I read something about taring out a scale here and my life changed forever! Just where is that adorable smiley? lolMy mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.~Maya Angelou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) RollTide, the smiley face-Do you have a generic smiley above when you are typing a response? Click on that, then look below. You should see a bunch of emoticons, then an arrow for the next set of emoticons. Scroll through all of them!

RollTide Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I didn't see that arrow!! LOL! Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 imo it's a waste of fo. Had to take a look on Etsy and while I wasn't looking for this particular seller, there are like a million melts/tarts on there. I also almost never browse Etsy.
