I've been using many oils from Nature's Garden, but I'm not satisfied that these are the best quality scents I can get.</p> <p>I saw that someone else on here said they were trying Lebermuth oils. I would like to know if you had any success? I've received about 40 1 oz. samples from Lebermuth for testing purposes and I just cannot get them to work in candles. I've tried different waxes/additives, etc and still no scent throw at all. I've been told by 2 other candlemakers (not soy users) that Lebermuth should be avoided for candle scents because they're not strong enough. Any ideas here?</p> Chandler Channel News Candle Production and Quality SIG Fragrance, EO, and Dye Research SIG General Supply Research SIG Fri, 28 May 2004 07:26:33 -0400 http://chandlerguild.com/node/326 <p>I am wondering where everyone is?

I generally make container candles and I'm curious about what others here do to prepare their candles for shipping? Is it wise to add something to the wax to harden it so the candles don't crack during shipping? What shipping method do you use? I'm interested in any ideas I can get!<br /> Thanks,<br /> Amanda Drew<br /> Alight Soy Candles</p> Candle Production and Quality SIG Chandler Guild Training Ground General Supply Research SIG Marketing and Business Presentation SIG Fri, 13 Feb 2004 07:37:07 -0500 http://chandlerguild.com/node/303 <p>Hi! I'm still fairly new to soy candlemaking and am very new to the guild, but so far its been pretty helpful. Before I knew about Soyawax brand, I had already purchased a large amount of soy wax from a different supplier. In the future, I'll be buying my soy waxes from Mike, but I have way too much wax to get rid of it and buy new. </p> <p>The wax I have makes great container candles, but I've begun to make tarts and votives also, with not so great results. When its cooled, the tarts and votives are so soft that they often crack or the ruffled egdges of the tarts break off!</p> Candle Production and Quality SIG Chandler Guild Training Ground Fri, 13 Feb 2004 07:36:56 -0500
