How hot were the containers at 3hrs??

You do not need to test several different wicks with each FO. BUT you DO need to pick one say....ECO 8 and test that one then adjust up or down from there.

In my side by side tests I found that the ECO consumes wax faster than the CD's.

Genwax in CA has them too

I like it...i would also change the font of the website....either one of the ones you suggested would work. Make the website easy to read. The color is OK IMO.

Took my BF...now DH over a year to use my soaps...he likes me to wash his back in the shower so I got to the point that his back didnt get washed unless it was with my soap....took a while but he is converted now and in my biggest fan!!

I look like something from outerspace when I soap....goggles and all!! It is easy to get comfortable....then a disaster happens...like the time my glass pitcher broke with the lye water in it...luckly it was in the sink!! So better safe than sorry!!

This is weird but...about 3 years ago I ordered some palm wax from swans (I think) anyway I knew NOTHING about palm wax. So I made a candle with it. I dont remember what temp I heated to or poured at....BUT I turned out a beautiful candle!! It had the shimmer and was really pretty through the glass (9oz hex jar) I tested that candle (dont remember which wick either) and it did burn down first. I thought it was gonna tunnel but it didnt ,it did catch up...what is wierd is I didnt have to do anything special...no heating jars or anything.

So I wonder if it is just the glassglow that is difficult to work with or have they changed the palm waxes maybe...

Birthday Cake Great mixer

Carrot Cake YUMMY the best I have used. I have used it in KY125 and para-soy blends

Country Gift Shop ROCKS!! Not for soy though...but great in melts and parasoy candles

Cool Citrus Basil another good one....ky 125 and CP soap

Cotton Candy best CC out there used it in KY125

Sweet Potato Spice another good one...used this in 464, para-soy

White Clouds nice spring scent. I used this in ky125 and para-soy

Another vote for KY here!! Love that stuff...

GL has a box that fit it exactly ,it's black.

I only found white boxes...

What is the blend that you made?

If they told you that they would have to shoot ya....

That is where I get my tins...very quick shipping....I need to get some of those gold tins...:tiptoe:

Heat does not have any effect on how fast a candle burns....The wick is what consumes the wax not heat. The larger the wick or the more wicks you have the faster the wax will be consumed.

So far I LOVE Yuma. I know it will be HOT in the summer but I think I am ready as I'll ever be for it. I cant believe how much farmland is here in the desert . I get free lettuce and bags of salad and cabbage all the time now.

I would LOVE to meet up with some of us who live here in AZ....maybe we could have our own little "gathering"....

When I was using just soy wax I had to double wick that tin. But since I use a parasoy blend I can single wick it easy now.

The bigger the wick the faster it consumes wax.

The above prices include the plastic lid...

OK so 9oz for the 10oz.....so maybe 6oz in the 7oz then. I am gonna order just one of each and see which I want to do....these will be palm wax candles.

ummm this thread is like 2 years old....:tiptoe:

just read the natural wax section.....there is alot more to it than you think....but it can be done!!:smiley2:

Yep...I would cut back on the FO to about 1oz pp....just because the wax can hold that much FO does not mean you have to use that much. Also I wick for the bottom half of the contanier. If you get a FMP on the first burn then more than likely you candle will be too hot in the last half.

Bitter Creek North or South may have them and they offer flat rate shipping, but you have to request it.

I know they do....but for some reason it takes FOREVER to get them...

tootie

I do the 6oz tins for fundraisers....especially schools....no glass to worry about.

tootie

I can get 10 oz tumblers for 1.33 each including shipping...

I can get the 7oz tumblers for 1.01 each including shipping...

Which do you think sell better and how much was will the 10oz hold and how much wax does the 7oz hold....

TIA

tootie

anyone know?? I need usps because I do not want to pay UPS prices for 100 wicks.....

tootie

Welcome!! I am in Yuma AZ....for now.

tootie

my own para-soy mix...

tootie

I think you will find that 1oz will be just as good.....no point in wasting money.
