Hi there, I don't use this wax, so cannot answer your question, but you would probably get more replies if you posted this in the veggie wax section- just a suggestion!

I haven't tried the ECO's (because I don't have any), but I've been having success w/ CD's in my J223/EcoSoya CB 135 blend... Good luck!

Thanks for the reply MA. I use CBL 141 from candlewic for pillars/votives and a combo of EcoSoya 135 and J223 for containers. I've read that a lot of you guys love the LLC, but I really dislike lemon, so I think I'll pass on that one...

Thanks to my Trivia geekness, I've got a gift cert to use, and am soooo excited! Never ordered from here before, so I'm looking for recommendations. I do candles only. What are the "must trys"?

Holy cow! Those are beautiful! Great job.

Holy cow, Tanya! That's a lot of gourds! They look great!

Here are threads about CBL-129: http://www.candletech.com/forums/search.php?searchid=252145 And here are threads about CBL-125: http://www.candletech.com/forums/search.php?searchid=252146 HTH,

This is one of the best things I learned here as a newbie. You just pour your container w/o a wick, when it's all set up, poke a hole in the middle with a skewer (or like object), and put a wick in (w/o a tab, of course!). Then, when you need to change the wick, you just yank the old wick out, stick a new one in, heat gun the top a bit, and voila- re-wicked container!

Beautiful! I bet they smell great, too. Wish I could get my rustics to look like that, too- I'm working on it!

Oh My Goodness! Too cute! The hot chocolate looks great, the s'mores snowmen are adorable!

Congratulations! Fun, isn't it? Welcome to your newest addiction!

This thread (http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10760) may give you a starting point to choose types of wicks to purchase. Definitely purchase a sampler pack of the types you choose- this will allow you to try different sizes of the wick type (which is what the number represents) to determine which wick is appropriate for your application. Most of the reputable suppliers offer wick sample packs. You can also do a search on the board for the type of wax that you decide to use, and see what types of wicks work for others to give you another starting point. I believe that Peak's has a great description of each wick type that they carry and the applications for that type, as do most other suppliers.

I remember seeing taper molds on Pourette's site. If I'm remembering correctly, they are two piece molds.... Yup, just checked. Here's the link: http://www.pourette.com/dept.asp?d_id=6940&l1=6936&l2=6940 HTH,

Look at the "Basic Instructions" section to the left... will give you step-by-step instructions for pillars, container and votives. The "numbers" of the wax you are using idetify they type of wax and the manufacturer, which is important because each type of wax behaves in different ways. Very helpful when you ask questions and ask for advice based upon what you have done and the result you have achieved. HTH,

Top, you must type quicker than I do! LOL!
