  1. Can someone tell me what the problem was with the bad batches of 6006 wax? I think i may have purchased some.No matter what size wick i use it never reaches a melt pool over about 1.5 or 2 inches.Ive tried htp's,cd's,rrd's and cdn's of various sizes.Even after 4 0r 5 hours its still has a small melt pool.Any ideas?
  2. Yes i burned it practically all the way down.That would take a really big wick for that container what would be a good one?
  3. ITS A APOTHECARY JAR I THINK ITS HEAVY GLASS WITH A GLASS LID ON IT.iT MEASURES ABOUT 4INCHES BY 4 INCHES SQUARE AND ABOUT 4 INCHES TALL TOO.ITS ABOUT 20 OUNCES
  4. Im trying to double wick a large container but even if i use the smallest wicks i can find i still get a full and very deep melt pool in only about an hour or so.Im using 70/30 a mixture of j223 and pure soy with paraffin being the majority.Ive tried cd 2 and htp 31 and pure cotton 36-24-24 still no luck.Any suggestions? Thanks
  5. Yes Ill Be Using A Little Dye And About 6 Percent Fo.i Just Figured 2 Wicks Might Be Better.maybe Ill Get A Sample Pack Of Some Larger Wicks And See What Happens. I Hear The Cdn Wicks Are Very Good For Soy And Palm Wax. Thanks
  6. Hello I Have A Plain Round Tumbler That Is About 3 And A Quarter Inches In Diameter.id Like A Starting Point Of A Wick Size Using Pure Soy And 2 Wicks? The Wax Is 415 Soy
  7. Im Using Glass Glow Wax In A 8 Oz Jelly Jar.ive Only Tried Htp's And Eco Wicks In Every Size They Make.when I First Light The Candle The Flame Is Really Huge And It Tunnels Down The Middle Really Fast Then It Slows Down And Almost Drowns Out.i Use 1 Oz Of Scent Per Pound Of Wax.ive Only Tried Lilac Scent From Candle Source So Far.
  8. I Just Tried Palm Wax And Im Really Disappointed With It.the Flame Is Huge No Matter What Wick I Use With It And I Have Big Air Pockets Down The Middle Of The Candle.ive Tried Different Pouring Temps Anywhere From 180 To 203 And Its Still The Same,any Help Appreciated.
  9. Can Someone Suggest A Wick For A 8 Oz. Jelly Jar Using Palm Wax With 1 Oz Of Fo Per Pound?
  10. Ive Read On Several Websites That When Using Soy You Dont Add Your Scent Until The Temp Gets Down To 110 Or 120.has Anyone Tried This And How Did It Work?seems Like A Low Temp From Other Things Ive Read.
  11. I Have A Roly Poly Jar That Is About 3.5 Inches At It's Widest Point In The Middle .ive Been Having So Much Trouble Wicking It That Im Thinking Of Trying A Double Wick.what Size Wick Would Be A Good Starting Point With Double Wicking?im Using Pure Soy And 1 Ounce Of Scent Per Pound
  12. Does Anybody Use Essential Oils In Soy?do You Have To Add Any Special Additives?also How Much Do You Use Per Pound Of Wax?thanks
  13. When Making Soy Tarts Do They Still Have To Cure Like Candles Do?also What Is The Best Material To Store Them In....thanks
  14. I Had Another Question I Was Going To Ask Earlier But I Forgot.do You Add More Scent To The Wax For The Tealights?maybe 1.5 Ounces?
