Hi.. I have been getting back into candle making after a 4 year hiatus. What I used to use was the wax that Greenleaf sold. I recently found out that it is the same as Clarus 3022. I have ordered a case from Melanie (real sweetheart) and I am ready to get back to my hobby. My problem is that I am having a hard time getting a meltpool or much of a hot throw off several scents. I was hoping some of you that have worked with the Clarus 3022 wax could give me some ideas. When I used this 70%(soy) 30%(paraffin) wax before from GL, I was using the Crisa Jars. (I think they were about 8 oz). I used 1oz per pound of fragrance and always used LX wicks. I used to use a LX20 and on a few LX22. And I only used GL fragrances at the time. Heated wax to 200 and then added the oil and poured around 180. Actually, this formula worked real well. I always got a MP to the glass edges and had the MP about 1/2" deep with in the 2 1//2 hour period. All sides of the glass were clean and the HT throws were amazing. Those were the days NOW.... I am happy to have the same wax. But I decided to change my containers to the Prestige 12 oz jars. I also go with all my oils through Peak now. My wicks are also the cotton core wicks C80. And I now use 9% FO. Or 1.5 oz/per pond. Other than the oil, the percentage of oil and the change of wicks... I do everyelse the same (Temp., pouring, curing). The result is a candle that does not give me good HT, and never do I have a good MP. It doesnt seem to go to the edges of the glass.. and when it melts down all the way, it will leave alot of hangup on 1/2 of the glass. My recent battle is with Peaks Genuine Leather. My friend adores that scent, and I am feeling horrible that I am making candles that I am not happy with. The fragrance oil is amazing.. and I want to have that scent smell her home instead of just when you stand over it. Today, I burned 3 candles (I remade some the other day). One has a C75, the other has a C80 and the last one had a CD10. After 3 hours of burning...none of them had reached the edges. Again not much HT. Out of the 3, the one that looked the most promising was the C80, but again , there was a good 1/2" of wax around the MP. I dont get it. So my question is solely about how to get a better MP. Which type of wicks do you use with this wax. I am wondering about getting LX again.. But I assume I would need larger since the 20 was the most common one I used - but again it was for a different size container. I am really wanting this scent to work, especially when I look at the reviews of Peak Genuine Leather and it seems other people are having success with it. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!!! Thank you!
