HorseScentS Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Today at super Walmart, in the grocery section, I saw a new product on the shelves near the paper plates and plastic cups. They have clear plastic 2 oz portion cups with the number 5 in a triangle on the bottom, the kind for making tarts/scent shots. Maybe you already know about these, but I had not noticed them before today. They're aprox $2.97 for a bag of 50. Don't know if that's a good price or not.

FaithfulScenter Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I'm going to have to check into this! I have been using a small glass bowl, and washing it after every scent. Can you use the small dixie cups, or does it have to be the plastic cups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChandlerWicks Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Usethe dixie cups for measuring fos. The 2oz portion cups are mainly used for pouring tart wax into for selling or samples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a member of Sam's Club because when I went to scope it out a couple of years ago, I couldn't see that I would save money on anything, since I can't afford to buy items in bulk. It seemed better for people who run a day care, or buy supplies for a business. I really didn't see any bargains, like I see at the liquidator stores. But, I will go and check it out again now that I'm making candles, maybe they have jars there or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChandlerWicks Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Ask about a free one day pass. Or ask relatives if they have one & go with them. I'm sure they have these at Costcos too. Check to see if you have any restaurant supply places by you. I've never seen jars, but you never know. Maybe JJs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've checked the restaurant supplies, and they don't have anything good, not even good deals on glass tumblers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChandlerWicks Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 HS do you still have the FO % chart Alan made? 3oz of wax + FO is making my tarts too high. I want to put exactly 3 ozs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
