Yes, I just found one at walmart. Thank you. You guys are great :-)

Sorry, vybar*

Ok. I think I need to get a better scale. For some reason my scale won't pick up the various less then 1 teaspoon.

Ok, got it. Thanks

Is it better to weigh your vybar and do it in percentage or should I continue to do it by teaspoon?

Thank you so much for all of your help. I don't know what I would do without this forum. I think I am not only addicted to making the candles but also this forum. I stay up till 3am reading, lol

I just started making them. I am letting them cure. I will do that as soon as I start testing. Thank you

Hi, I am very new to candle making. I have been researching the internet for about 6 months. I must say, this is by far the best forum. Yayyyy, so glad I found all of you. I have learned you need to test, test, test. I am working with IGI 1343 to make pillars. For each FO I have been testing 6% and 9%. For each one I make a candle using 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 tsp. vybar. I have also been testing my wicks using 24 and 30 ply flat braid. Does that sound about right? I was told by the supplier to use 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon of vybar but I have read on here, all you need is a pinch. I was also told it could take up to two weeks to cure. I would appreciate any feedback I can get.

Thank you so much for your help

Oh, I forgot to add... I will probably be ordering from Peaks or Bitter Creek

Hi, I am very new to candle making. I have been making pillars with IGI 1343, adding vybar, I am going to be placing a few orders. Can anyone suggest a FO that has a strong throw in IGI 1343
