    Not Ready To Sell, However

    I think the name is awesome but the logo does not appeal to me. It looks clinical and the bar of soap obviously does not look hand-made. Also, I don't think putting a picture of a bar of soap on a bar of soap does anything for you! Have you considered simply using your name as your logo? It's...

    You know your house is hot...

    I used to live in Kihei where the houses are newer and it's 10 degrees hotter so I had never come across tin roofs. But Makawao is a poorer area and there are an awful lot of tin roofs here...

    You know your house is hot...

    I'm just a renter and my landlord is definitely not going to do that :( (he and his wife just had twins and they did finally replace the broken dryer but I know they are tight!).

    You know your house is hot...

    I heard that the smaller ones have nastier bites (or maybe that is just a (non) urban myth). There's a joke here that if you see a centipede in your house and you don't catch it you have to move out ;)

    Afraid to start playing w/my new aroma chemicals

    Aroma Chemicals are simply the building blocks used to create Fragrance Oils so FOs should be as strong as ACs. Except that I am becoming convinced that some suppliers dilute them (probably with isopropyl myristate). I've been testing some weak FOs and they have much more of an oily residue when...

    You know your house is hot...

    Holy cow! Yeah, we used to have people stay at our vacation rentals who said they came from Florida to get away from the heat! Nobody has A/C here in Makawao because it's a nice temperature most of the time (and electricity is super-expensive in Hawaii). I would be fine in the summer if it...

    Yeah, I never get any sympathy for anything living here - it's so unfair! LOL

    You know your house is hot...

    We had an unusually hot week recently and my studio reached 97 F (99 F at eye level). The fans were just blowing warm air at me! I moved to Makawao (1600' elevation) 3 years ago to get away from the Kihei heat but I didn't know to avoid tin roofs, which make the place into an oven :(

    Brown Kraft Labels

    I use the Maestro label designer (free when you order from them). It's great, but you do have to position the labels strategically and test on paper first (don't presume that they will print out centered just because you place them there on the template!). Also, the labels themselves can vary re...

    Brown Kraft Labels

    I did not know about the samples for a long time, then I realized there is a 'Request Samples' link under the Customer Support menu at the bottom. They are very generous with samples, especially if you are already an established customer.

    Brown Kraft Labels

    I use them with an inkjet printer but I believe they work with laser too. You can order free samples BTW.

    List of Companies selling Lebermuth FO's

    I already know about Symphony Scents (not all their FOs are Lebermuth but they have a lot. Now I can add the Chemistry Store. I did contact Bulk Apothecary and although they have taken over L's botanicals the girl I talked to said they don't sell their FO's but she is checking...

    What do we think about this?

    OMG, they have TWO stores: San Luis Obispo and Pismo beach!

    "oceanizing" a water scent ...

    They are simply aroma chemicals like those used to create fragrance oils so yes, they will certainly survive lye. I imagine the main issue will be cost (although you can be sure they are undiluted, which can't be said for some FO's I have purchased!)

    Packaging Hoarding

    I hate the 'peanut snow' that gets all over the place - I do not inflict crushed peanuts on anyone! I usually wrap the item in bubble wrap or packing paper and then wedge them in place with packing peanuts. These are small packages and using peanuts instead of crumpled paper can make a...
