Donna Bell Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I sell these things like crazy. I even do Fund Raisers with them. I tell them they will last for 4-6 weeks. Just think about it, normal ones you buy at WalMart dont even last that long.I use a mixture of COrn Cob and Vermiculite.Hello and God bless you, Kimberly. Are you using the vermiculite as the dominant filler or an even mix of the two of them?Also, may I ask who you use for your FO supplier? I deal with Just Scent, Indiana Candle Supplies, Bitter Creek, Natures Garden, KY Candle, Snowtop Candle.Thank you for any info you can give me. I have the vermiculite and am ready to start on my bags! I was using the expensive and short-life aroma beads.Again, God bless you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Candleman perlite will soak up fo. Takes about a week. I have used cinaberry and cherry with no prob. Lasted about 3 months in a car using a organza type bag. Then the little beads aren't styrofoam? Was afraid to use them cause they might melt with the FO. Thanks ya'll for the help.

ubure Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 What size is best for vermiculite? I've found a shop that sells them in 0-1mm, 1-2mm, 2-3mm, 3-6mm and 3-8mm (1mm = 0.039370079 in, - why do you have to have such complicated measurements?? Or is it us??)

I really think these rocks need to soak longer even though they soak up the oil right away. Just so every bit of scent is in the fibers of the rocks. Plus I really like the looks of the white rock. Thanks for info. I also like the Perlite because it won't go bad, cause I keep things a long time.After re reading the intire post I see what a re--tard I am for asking the same question and getting an answer. Just never went back over the whole post again to find the answer. Sorry fokes...I looked locally for the "Vermiculite" but could not find it. And after reading the post I want to make sure I get the larger size when I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blazerina Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Hi all- not a freshener expert but I have way too many cats so I thought I'd answer a question about if the litter would kill the FO. I BELEIVE what the litter manufacturers are refering to in regards to that is amonia. It NEUTRALIZES AMONIA and locks odor into the product. I do not know if there is Amonia in most FO's. I'm guessing some might. But I don't know if 'everything' is suseptable to it's neutralizing effects. Also, I know this may sound obvious but ya never know:D - thought I'd toss out there to remember to make sure you don't buy the already scented. Hee.This is just a guess ofcourse, but since litter was made specifically for cats- they are talking about neutralizing amonia. The 'locking it in' part could be a good or a bad thing, lol??? It seems there are quite a few still gathering results as we type so I will let them have the final word as to if it kills FO or not. Hawaiian- I seen you make ornies... I'm guessing that means you are pretty impressed with their throw and lasting qualities?? I was thinking about making these since those trees are so ugly, lol.

amachs03 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I didn't know you could refresh aroma beads. How do you do it? Also, do you find beads from different places absorb differently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
