Great information!!
We need you guys back with more episodes!!
Lots of Info!
This is a great podcast for someone who needs some deep info on the subject or just starting out. I personally find that having been a candle maker for about 1 1/2 years that I have learned a lot in this podcast. The hosts are extremely knowledgeable in this subject and they have guests that support that knowledge and make it so you can understand it.
Great podcast
Keep up the good work! Would love to hear about wicking the infamous Coconut-Apricot waxes.
