  1. Thank you, I think I'll check them out. I noticed they have a great variety of FO.
  2. Yes thank you, I figured there was a way to find this info but I think I was typing it wrong. I been making candles exactly since a year ago, I finally found the right combination of wax, wick, and jar that works for me, I use (EL) soy wax. I am now testing different fragrances oils and want to come up with a line of candles to sell.
  3. Hello everyone, I'd like to order some 1oz samples, I'm looking for fragances that have a strong throw in soy wax. I'm looking for a good coconut, apple pie, clean cotton or clean type, and ocean type scents. I'd like to know what are your thoughts on where I can find these scents. Thanks.
  4. I have a couple of candle cocoon scents they all work great specially vanilla voodoo, melon-fig-apricot, brewed jasmine and strawberry. I find adding .5 to a pound works well for me. The only scent I'm having problems so far is raspberry cordial it's not as strong when burning like the others, maybe I need to add more scent.
  5. Hi, No, I am not double wicking these jars I'm testing the same wick (cd5's) on two different jars. I do like the cb advanced but it can be picky with some FOs. I would like to mix the cb advanced and the (El) together but I haven't been able to do that yet.
  6. Yes, I think I got a little mixed up let me put my thoughts together... Ok, I been doing a lot of research and I came across this article that stated "for every inch in diameter that a candle measures, it should take about 1 hour to burn”. basically, what Im understanding from this quote is that, the jelly jars I was using for testing with a 2” diameter should reach a full melt pool by 2 hours of burning. Since, I was getting a full melt- pool within an hour, I felt that my candles weren’t burning properly; even though I had good HT, little to no mushrooming, and jar was not excessively hot. I want to mark this test as a success, but Im second guessing myself, maybe someone with more knowledge can help me cleared up all this confusion.
  7. I am new to candle making as well and I been testing for the past 4 months, I think I may finally found the right wick but, I get a full melt pool with in a hour. I am testing on jelly jars 8 And 12 oz with a 2-3/8 Inch diameter. For the test batch I use CD10, CD8, CD6 and CD5 and make 2 jars for each wick. So far, CD5 burn the best of all; jars not too hot, wick doesn't mushroom as much, and hot throw is good. I'm using Eco soya cb advanced with no dye or additives, but I am going to try testing with EL 100% soy Container wax. Any tips on what kinds of wicks might work better with ecosoya cb advanced or EL container wax? I love making candle and I really want this to work out, any suggestions are greatly appreciated thanks in advanced.
