Those that make lotions, creams, scrubs, shower gel etc. Do you make your own or purchase ready made bases? I ordered some premade bases to experiment with but really like the idea of making own base to get a firm grasp on whats really in the product.

Gonna check them out right now. Thanks!

HEllo, Bored and wanting to dive onto something new. Done some research on lotions and would like to start with a premixed base. Eventually get into making or own recipe. What is everyones thought on the quality of Crafters choice lotions? Also looking at other types but crafters choice keeps popping up. Thanks for any thoughts!

HTP wicks are also coated and recommended by A&P. We use a 41 for most and have great results.

Wow... Im amazed that you can get such large wicks to work without overheating. Im using the large salsa jar any from candle science and 6006. Currently using a 44-28-18 c. Trying any of these wicks in a standard 8 oz jelly jar causes massive over heating. Can you post some pics of them burning correctly with your combo? Im just lost as to WHY i cant get it to work. Im down to a 34-40 in a jelly jar and thats seeming to big....Not critisizing anyone at all just looking into this as its troubled me for a loooong time lol.

Who has a good cinnamon scent? Cs has a great one but cannot get it to burn right in 6006 wax. Also a good pumpkin?

44-24-18c works for most. some need 44-32-18c scents are all from candle science.

Its been awhile since i used peaks wicks. When i did i didnt notice and major difference. I also used wicks from EAC and they are the same as cs.

Def let me know your results as im curious now. Makes no sense that there is that different of results.

Yup Im positive. Mesured the jar too. # inch top 4 inch height.

positive.

The exact specifications are: status jar, 4627 from cs ( about 4 months ago)CS egyptian amber 8% load. Medium brown dye. CS HTP wicks. i just tried a 1212 in a candle and got an insane flame.

I have used all the wicks above with great results in the libbey jar and dollar tree status jar. They are both the 3 inch round ones.

I have used alot of CS oils in that size jar at an 8 percent load with an HTP 73-HTP 83 and 44-24-18c. Great results with all of them. Just started messing around with an eco 2 so far so good with 4627 egyptian amber and 8 % load

www.uspto.gov and see if it really is trademarked.
