These are the FOs that I got sample sizes of: Cinnamon Stick Citrus & Sage Ylang Ylang Ginger Vanilla Hazelnut Mocha Twigs & Berries French Vanilla Spanish Melon Eucalyptus Mist Plum Crazy Mountain Lake Lilac Breeze Litsea & Basil Dream Catcher Raspberry Guava I am thinking of blending some of the Lilac Breeze with some of the Raspberry Guava. YUM

    It depends on what type of oils you use. Some have a stronger scent than others, plus shea butter can be stinky too.

    I think I am going to get him to make me one too. My recipe size is pretty different than the size of standard molds out there, so I think a custom one is in order. After too many trial and errors of trying to make my own, I throw in the towel.

    I think that is a great idea. I am sure they will love them.

    even though you had them stored in your living room, it is still subject to tempurature changes. I know my living room gets real cold at night especually through the winter. The expreme tempurature changes is what causes frosting. The same thing happens if it gets too hot.

    looks awesome for CPHP I think I have the same mold as you used for the Chocolate Mint. Is it sorta like a PVP drain pipe, rectangular shape with waves on the sides?

    I decided to make one large one for the center piece of the gift table, and then decided to do a few more for center pieces on the other tables. My friend is doing the baby nursery in red and blue with a vintage baseball theme. So when I saw this fabric, I got so excited and bought a couple yards of each, even at $7.99 a yard. Ouch. I also found these vintage glass baby milk bottles that I snatched up a few months ago, and realized they would be perfect to fill with soy wax and place them on top of the cakes. Scented vanilla.

    i usually do well with most fragrances at 7%. If you are not getting a good throw with at least 7%, you need to switch fragrance suppliers. The ones I use most are Peaks located in CO and Candlewic located in PA. to calculate FO percentage, multiply 16oz (1lb) of wax by 7% which gives you 1.12oz of FO. You need to make sure you have an accurate electronic scale to weigh your wax and FO properly. For me, its easier if I just start with only 14oz of wax and add 1oz of FO to it (which is about 7%). Keeps things easier rather than having to weigh smaller amounts of FO.

    C-3 wax needs curing time before you burn the candle. Let the candle sit for a week then light. Day and Night difference in scent throw when you let it cure.

    So do I when making fresh soap, but she is rebatching, which is pretty much like M&P. So i belive she would use a lot less since it wont be diluted or burned off during the soaping process. It would stay much more potent. does this sound right?
