Glad you wrote to confirm they have multiple uses - just relight and relight. <br /><br />I know what you mean about entering a home or office full of synth scent. It's why I quit using a bookkeeper in the neighborhood.

I had one of your samples and because we're selling our house, I've been burning it everytime before someone comes for a showing. We've been looking for new houses in the past and I'm so disturbed by the synthetic scents they difuse in the homes I want to get out of there as quickly as possible. So heads up Realtors...let your "for sale" clients know to burn something like this and keep the "to buy" clients around. Just a suggestion because I'm loving the way this is "throwing".<br />SuzySuzynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502094.post-39705357851701670662012-10-11T15:23:01.858-04:002012-10-11T15:23:01.858-04:00So generous of you to share your discovery and you...So generous of you to share your discovery and your knowledge, Anya! It sounds like removing the spent wax from the burner is an issue for some people and may be a deterrent for a customer. I wonder if it'd be possible to place some sort of liner between the melt and the bowl so that the spent wax would be easy to lift out? My first thought was wax paper or another sort of attractive paper, but that could be a fire hazard. I wonder if metal foil would work! One could even package the melts wrapped in foil, in keeping with the candy theme. I've saved particularly lovely sheets of foil from some high-end dark chocolate bars I've bought (thick, silver on one side and gold another) - these sheets seem like they'd work well.Priyanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502094.post-8408240258703003332012-10-11T13:58:52.063-04:002012-10-11T13:58:52.063-04:00Thanks for sharing this Anya.

I did try making something like this a while ago but find 100% beeswax a real pain to remove from the bowl once solidified, I cracked a vessel or too in trying! However, I am now reinspired to try again and maybe I will buy burners with smaller bowls, the ones i had have large deep bowls to hold more water.tanya Mouldinghttp://www.theperfumemistress.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502094.post-68971839423588973162012-10-11T13:54:39.873-04:002012-10-11T13:54:39.873-04:00Hi Anya, I am so glad you have had success with th...Hi Anya, I am so glad you have had success with these as it was something I tried a while ago - I have some lovely moulds I use for bath melts and chocolate (!). Its just I find 100% beeswax adheres stubbonly once it solidifies after heating. I cracked one vessel trying to get the beeswax out in one piece. I think my 'burners' are too big (great for holding water though), maybe I will revisit making some and buy burner with a smaller diffuser bowl.

This is so generous.<br />I love the tea candle, floating EOs on water method, I have a 'bowl' (it's actualy shaped like a miniature teapot) that holds the oils and water which has a lid (with some holes in it to allow the vapors to disperse), the lid ensures that only rarely will all the water evaporate and burn the oils.<br />But I will play with this idea it sounds like a lot of fun<br />.
