    I tried Havana several weeks ago with htp 93 and got no scent at all but the burn was ok. I just lit another new one with HVANA USING AN Lx 22 AND SEE IF THAT WORKS. Welcome home using HTP 93 give me no scent at all will try an HTP 104 tomorrow. i have a coiple of those left. AH I will try tomorrow with 104 as well. This is so frustrating, I am so ready to just quit but I want so much to get it right. I need to learn this just to satisfy myself.

    I'm at a loss what to try. I am using 4630 wax, an 8 oz tin and Bobs flower shop fo I have tried the zinl 51 and the htp 93. I get a nice slow burn but MP is not getting to sides or even near after 1 hour only about 1/2 way. I am afraid to go to HTP 104 because I think it will probably burn good and get fmp but the container (8 oz tin) will get to hot. I need some opinions PLEASE..... Thanks

    Quick question on the burn test. I have poked holes or a hole and put in whci I think will work but if not working I pull it and put in my next choice but how long should I wait to burn AND do I heat gun the top sp the candle does not have a memory ring from previous burn and looks fresh or just leave it alone and hope the next wick gives me the fmp I am looking for? Thanks

    What wick and size do you suggest starting out testing? I have been looking in several wick guids and most are all different but CD 12 for a 8 oz tin shows up a few tines and then Candle Scienc3e says CD 18 for 3 inch tin using 464 Big Difference.

    Really appreciate the advise thanks

    I never knew about using the correct direction of the wick So i need to wait the 2 weeks even for just testing the wick with no fo? Not sure I have that kind of patience.

    So I have been making asome candle using 4630 and now want to venture to soy. I have some a sample lb of 464 here Want to make 8 oz tin candle so to get the right wick initial choices do I chosse a wick, make the candle wait a few days and burn to see if it works or use fo and do the cure 2 weeks to see if the wick and the burn is right?
  20. karinz40
    ok thanks
  21. karinz40
    I know this will sound studid to mist of you who make candles with glasss and I really do not have intensions of using glass but I must ask. How to you take the temperature of the glasd jar while it is burning? A special thurmometer on the outside?
  22. karinz40
    Thanks, did not know about the necks
  23. karinz40
    You can list them on this forum under classified. If you hae several 1 oz'ers I would possible be interested.
