Sharon in KY

Hi Jason, it's me Sharon in KY, my friend burned the 444 and 435 and 449 for me. Well she said the 449 was the best, great throw and no mushroom. All three had the same jar, color, scent and wick, same everything but wax. Is anyone else compairing with the 449, I haven't seen it mentioned? Enjoy reading what others think and the results they are getting.

I'm sure the corn starch is for body type products. Maybe a body butter, I use corn starch in mine to help cut the greasy feel and I use beeswx in my recipe.

Any soy candle makers near,Geneva, New York? I have a customer that would like to save on shipping charges. And I understand that completely. Told her I would see if I could find a local soy candle maker for her that maybe she could try. Thanks

Did you just lay them on the bottom of your fireplace? I have put mine in between the wood logs and they burn while the wax runs all over the logs. I always thought they burned up completely before wax would run to the bottom of the fireplace. Maybe wrong..

I just smelled this tonight. Love it maybe smells like MS Clause cookies for NG. What do you all think?

gerrie, I thought about buying the molds since I think pouring t's in the cups is a big pain. Does pouring go pretty fast or should I get the larger count molds. Just seems like a faster cleaner look when the wax is placed in the cups. since they won't have wax dripped all over.

I use soy wax and can't get a nice brown. It is just a lot different than what I usually use, don't care for it at all.

Like they say they are more for soaps. That must be what they test in cause they do not always throw in wax. I am one that does not want glass bottles, I use a lb or more in one day and sure don't need my money thrown in the garbage cause it last longer that way. I have had plastic bottles with scent for several years and it compares with the same scent bought a week ago so give me plastic. Maybe for some that don't use a lot of scent at a time glass is great. Just wish I had a choice, I really don't think it would make that much difference in product cost just in shipping. I love SweetCakes Hyacinth, have tried others but none compare, it throws great in soy wax and in soap it in sooo nice. Their Peony is just like smelling the real thing still growing in your yard, but didn't throw in a candle for me but in soap it is wonderful. I have several of their scents I'm saving just to make soap, after the candle season cools off. They are so worth it if you find out which one throws in your wax. Dee just bought Lime Margarita and cold throw is yummy in a tart she gave me to try. HTH

I just checked her site and she has been sick. http://www.2wwoods.com

I just wish her the best.

I am now mixing Love Spell from WSP with LS from Tenn and Scents for Soy. They smell the same to me and mixing cuts my cost, just don't want to "go all the way" Maybe I'll do the mix with ICS's RL, next time I order I'll get some.

This can't be true... I have two of my best seller that I get from them. Does anyone have the owners name or something????

Their Toffee Apple Crunch is something that smells great and throws great in soy. 1.5 pp. So does Apple Danish...

Always used WSP but the price has gone up and it is way to high. If I can't fine another good one I'm going to discontinue it. Really like WSP but haven't tried any others. Does anyone know one that throws well in soy? TIA

MaryAnn, check out this site. I didn't know you could grow them either, said the same thing. WHAT??? Then I had to grow some, find out all I could, ordered some seed from the internet. These things grew over a foot a day, lots of big long cucumber type loofa's hanging all over. If only I could find a good way to clean and dry them. The info was not clear and I think I bleached too much.

I love it when my soy pulls away from the jar. I think they are so much better looking.Seems to pull away more when the weather is cooler.

I don't think I noticed the throw, mostly looking for the non frosted candle. How can I pour hot, get frosting, put candle in Micro to melt, let cool and it looks fine. Tried heating jar really hot then pouring hot and still frosting. The only thing that works most ofter is pouring cooler in a room temp jar. But the cooler weather even with the heat on is producing much better looking candles than the Summer with the air on. GF is working on a new mix that is suspose to produce smooth tops etc. Going to try to get a sample just to see if it's any better. This batch of GF135 I have right now is really nice, just hope the next batch is.....

I use Presto Pots for melting, Plastic Pitchers for mixing and 2 cup plastic measuring cups for pouring Tarts. I work most every day and usually about 10 hrs a day. But during that time I'm on the phone or the computer. I make mostly tarts and pouring and packaging take me a long time. I think I make a lot till I read what you all do. A busy day for me is pouring 50 lbs of wax and this time of the year I go through 3 to 5 boxes a week. Love what I do, just wish it left more time for other crafts.

Ky's Christmas Past is so strong. It is one of the few scents that is way strong at 1 oz in soy. Never tried CB3 but if Ky's won't throw nothing will.

Things like that happen all the time, electric, fire, I use my Micro to make HP soap. Ready in 30 minutes, love it, so fast. Don't ask how many times a pitcher of wax went flying all over the counter and floor, handle got cought in my apron pocket. I said a few select words after each and every tiime. Well off to bed got a bunch of tarts to pour this weekend and the kids are coming over to wrap. Gotta keep them busy....

I have gone through three Micro Waves in the 4 years I have been making soy candles. I melt in Presto and Micro to reheat, remelt, clean containers of wax and melt my embed wax. My Micro is going all day long, I have melted every veggy wax I tried in it. Do what you want but to me it is just part of my equipment. I also use plastic pour and mixing pitchers that can go in the Micro.

Same thing happened to me and I've tried to reproduce in when I'm making candles. Melted wax, let it harden and then melt again and poured. Not sure what tempered means. Could you explain in simple terms.

Thanks, they all are good....

Does anyone know the cute saying that is about the Bayberry candle being lucky.

I just ordered it from NG's so I'll let you know how it smells and throws. This one has no spice but not sure what the Y** scent smelled like.

I use a chalking gun all the time but it is an old one. Going to look for the one that stops when pressure is off. Also a screw is nice to put in tip or even a electric wire twist tingy,large size...??
