These are so cute !!!  Do you sell them anywhere??

Congrats !!!

Family is the most important part of life.

I live one day at a time.

I have 3 cats and know that scent.  Have to clean daily.

I really appreciate the advise.

Thanks,  I'll keep chugging along.

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.

The amish didi discolor my tin a few weeks ago when testing

Ok will do thanks

This one is Amish Harves after 2 1/2 hours using HTP 93.  scent fair.

I have the air turnd off and each candle is in a seperate room.

Here is a pic of Bob's at 1 1/2 hours using HTP 93.

scent is fairy good.

Opinion??

The scents I am testing are: Welcome Home,  Bob'sFlower Shop,  Havana,  and Amish Harves (Love that one)

still not a fmp but almost and scent is fairly good

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

So use the hear gun, flatten and wait 5 hours,  got it!  Thanks TT

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? 

ok thanks

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?

Thanks,  did not know about the necks

You can list them on this forum under classified.

If you hae several 1 oz'ers I would possible be interested.

I am going to let her know

That is why i do not like glass candles and am sticking to tins.

it was on my credenza in dining room, glass top.

She was making candles with mason jarsfrom wall mart new.

I did notget temp

Probably wick a little to  big?/  Flame was ok  I think.  i don't burn candle from glass, just my tins but because she gaveit tome I thought I would.

A friend learning to make candles, not a close friend, gave me a candle as a gift.

I havebeen burning it every few days and was near the bottome when the glas  broke.  I am assuming it as because the candle was to hot.

The cent had been nice and she said the ax was paraffin when I asked her.

I do not want to hurt her feeling  and tell her yet that it broke untill I understand why.

Any help would be appreciated.

It was n 8 oz mason jar with 4630 she said.  The same ax I am experimenting with but not in glass

that is exactly hy i am not using glass.  That and shipping
