Be careful of the Burberry from Save-on-Scents. It smells great, BUT I soaped it twice and it riced on me both times...rebatch time which also worked out real nice, but it's a bugger!
Looking good! If I get my batch in the mold by 10 AM it comes out by 10 PM unless it's a castile batch and then I wait until morning. If the mold feels cool and the top feels firm....go for it! Then post pics
If I wanted any of mine even which was seldom (I like the ramdom look) I weighed out the amount of wax that was going into the mold. You have to know how many ounces the mold holds and then just cut it in half. Beautiful rustics you've got there girlie! :highfive:
Now you're thinking!! Who do I send my donation to? I'm in for that....including hostess fee! ROFL All I see here is that our original poster is somewhat MIA and a bunch of other pots calling the kettle black . Ehhh. whatever.
I suggest you read through this site. Loads of info on all types of wicks and their applications. HTH http://www.braidway.com/Wick%20Page/New%20Rate%20Charts.htm
I think the old "trial & error" will come into play here. What is considered "tried and true" for one may be totally different to another. I did a search for "massage oil" and came up with dozens of threads. Here are a few with massage oils within those results. http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=356&highlight=%22massage+oil%22 http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14323&highlight=%22massage+oil%22 http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=356&highlight=%22massage+oil%22 http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=968&highlight=%22massage+oil%22
I have used j50 for a couple of years now and have never felt the need to switch to a different wax. I love the creamy texture, the throw is awsome (providing your using quality FO's) and it's easy to color. I use mainly LX or Zinc wicks.
