Possibly, I know he's emailed a couple of times so not sure if it's just pressure of time or net or something.  Or maybe he's forgotten us all  :'( :mwaha:

Sorry ladies, I've not forgotten you!!! First it was the wait for the broadband, then it was the papering, then the painting and now I'm always covered in soap and wax! I promise to get this done ASAP.

I've tried to access this tutorial a few times but it says 'This article is available to Author Members only'. Can only members who have posted articles view this or amk I not clicking the right link? (nothing would surprise me)

Polly, as you're a Jr Member now you can get upgraded to an Author to see all the extra content.

Just post here (http://www.forum.fresholi.co.uk/index.php/topic,1348.105.html) and H or Kes will do it for you :D

You should then be able to see the document :)

That's a great article, concise, tell you what you need to know without the waffle that often accompanies internet articles. I candle kit came on Friday so this article will be a great reference and resource. Cheers!

Thanks so much Kev, it's so generous of you. (:hug:) I am defo going to give this a go. Been looking at SK and they have got a parma violets candle fragrance, have you tried it? Ooh, so many new choices  :buttrf:


Title: Re: Kev's melt tutorial
Post by: kevie192 on December 30, 2009, 11:20:16 PM
Nope, not tried it but then I don't really like floral fragrances all that much!!

Shucks, I'm so so glad you all like it. I really try to make it as simple as possible but to include the little hints and tips I've picked up along the way... It's so easy to find tutorials on the internet but none of them were written the way I wanted to receive them when I was starting out - they are all either too vague or there's too much waffle. I like to tell people how to make things from start to finish in an easy way and if you can cut corners safely and without damaging the quality of the product then I'll tell you about it ;)
