Oh, one more thing: Can this soy wax (Golden 415) be used for tarts? I was thinking if I melt the wax down, I could make tarts. Or do I need a soy specifically made for tarts? Goldie
-
I'm so glad I asked! Thanks to all of you, I will save a few bucks and not have to throw away the soy wax. Goldie

Thanks! I've been keeping notes; time to get them organized on a spreadsheet. I definitely will test all. Reading through past posts, I noticed someone mentioned wicks bending as they burn and possibly causing a fire. Do I have to find a wick that doesn't bend as it burns? Because I think all of the wicks I've tried curve as they burn. Goldie

They already have FO in them. I just want to melt and remake the same scent but with a different wick. Would that be ok? Goldie
-
Since I poured a few pint jars and now find the wicks aren't the right ones, can I melt the soy wax and repour with different wicks? If yes, is microwave ok? Goldie

I will definitely do that. In the meantime, my pint jars were burning perfectly using the same soy, CD-12 wick, and AH-RE FOs. Got my Peak FOs and used everything the same except the FOs. My mistake to not test the CD-12 wick with the Peak oils. I decided to test one and see the wax building up along the edges and the candle burning down the middle. ARGGGG...............!!! First question, does every FO HAVE to be tested with a variety of wicks? Is there such a variance from one company to the next so each company's oils may need a different wick for the same soy, same jar?

What is "ht"? I've got hundreds of glass votives to use up, or I wouldn't probably be even pouring votives.

I'm pouring NG Soy which is Golden Foods 415 wax directly into glass votive holders and using CD-5 wicks. As the votive burned, the flame slowly got very tiny, almost burned out and the melted soy built up along the sides of the jar. Changed to a CD-7 wick which took care of those two problems, but WOW the jars get hot! What wick would you suggest? I read through quite a few posts and see some suggest LX wicks. I'd appreciate hearing what you think I should try. Goldie

I may try Just Scents as the Peak's sample I got were not to my liking except one. Now I'm afraid to try anymore. Just starting to make soy jar candles to sell. What would you suggest I sample from Peak's? I have been very pleased with most FO's from Aroma Haven that I sampled. Sometimes a little hard to distinguish what is different in a few of them even though they are definitely different. Amish Quilt is a favorite of mine. You? Goldie
