  1. Thanks! Yes it's one of my top sellers too as well as one of my personal favorites. Thanks for the suggestions!
  2. Thanks so much! I will try those out! We will be doing Macintosh Apple.
  3. My cousin has asked me to make 30 candles for her wedding as part of the centerpieces. She wants to use Pint sized Mason jars. I will be using my regular wax ecosoya cb 135. I will not be filling them much more than about halfway. So my question is if anyone has experience with these jars and has any tips on wick sizes to get me started and test out.:-) I will be going to Bulk apothecary on Monday to pick up wax and other supplies and I have an order going in to candlescience and lone star as well so I can pick up several different sizes to test, just trying to narrow down options. Thanks slot everyone for the help! :-)
  4. Thanks for sharing that Kimmeroo! gave me even more options to try which I suppose could never hurt of course!!!
  5. Oh man, I just placed a wick order from peak literally one minute ago! Maybe I can call in the a.m and add some more...Also thinking of trying double wicking, as I have been reading this could even help my fragrance throw stronger? I'm up for anything really!
  6. I actually did try all the suggested on candlescience and then some! I will check out the guide on the other sites though and see if they suggest any i have yet to try.
  7. this was the 15 oz jar. I am going to start experimenting with the 22 oz as well.
  8. And I'm sorry I double posted! when I hit submit that same error page popped up and I thought it never went through...hmmm, must be my computer?
  9. I have been reading this site for quite a bit now, and just finally have "officially" joined I love this site, you guys have so much knowledge. I have only been doing candles for about a year and a half so, I don't feel knowledgeable enough to give certain advice , as I always am learning every day!! I am addicted to reading this forum and if I didn't have to work would probably just read this every minute! lol! So, I am here asking for some input so I don't slam my head against the wall! I am using ecosoya 135 currently and have tried many different wicks/sizes because they always seemed to tunnel somewhat. Right now I am using eco 14 wick, this one seems to finally burn evenly across....BUT, after burning for about 6 -7 hours I just looked over and the flame is HIGH, probably at least 2" and flickering slightly. This is the longest I have had it going before so I have never seen it do this before, and am a bit alarmed! I feel like everytime I fix one thing something else needs fixing and it is an endless battle! I'm sure everyone has gone through this as well, it is just driving me insane right now!! Any suggestions? I may try going down a wick again, I just felt like it did not burn all the way across. I'm thinking of trying some other waxes as well, I have yet to decide if I love this wax, could be just because of my frustration with wicking, once I get it perfect probably will change my mind. I love the ecosoya pb, has an excellent ht!!! At least one thing is going my way! lol. I hope I am making sense, it is way past my bedtime! I have been trying to search all day but it just keeps coming up as an error when I hit the search button...any insight and thoughts would be fantastic and tia!
