I used the problend 450 from fc blended with Igi 4630. Worked great!

If you are going to use the glass lids I found they were not perfect but you ciuld probably make them work and get through what you do have and as you need to replace or buy more buy them together.🙂

I have both. Dollar tree jars and Libbey Status jars from the jar store. DT has no lid. ,The jar store sells the lids by the case for the Libbey Status Jars and The lids fit snug on the libbey jars, from them. I tried the lid from TJS on the DT jar and thye could work but they are not as snug of a fit on the Dt jar. I Have not had issue with either one. But I want lids and I want the lids to be a snug fit so I am sticking with The Jar Store. I bought a few of those DT jars when I was there for testing. Both seem to be a heavy jar but the Libbey is better in my opinion. The glass can get hot in my opinion if overwicked or maybe not the wick choice for the wax could cause that ??? I am new at this but I do believe the Libbey is better.

Many thank yous for the great advice here. I am going to try these out. I really appreciate all the help.

Awesome! Going to work on this and see what we get.

Not to muddle things up but I have been using the tins for the GW 464 and have got some really good smooth tops and cold throw. I got a little bit of minor frosting on a couple of colors only. The hot throw is really pretty good on stronger scents but I was looking to increase that hot throw on some others. I started out using the recommended CS 1 oz f/o per 1 lb 6% wax and ended up bumping to 9% on some f/o and even slightly more on a couple others. I wicked those with eco 12 and 14's and curing them 2 weeks. So my thought was either go to this 6006 wax, or mix this 6006 with the 464. Anyway I think I will get the sample pack of the wicks you suggested to and start that testing process and see what we get. thanks again

thank you both, will get some sample packs of the those listed here

I am a newbie and looking for some advise on wicks. I have been reading and sure appreciate everything I have found here from everyone. I am trying the IGI 6006 for the first time. My first application will be straight up the IGI 6006 in the 8 oz candle tin (5 oz of wax) from Candle Science, 3 inch diameter tin. My intention would be to use no dye or fragrance to test the burn and then once I get a good wick add in 6 or 7 % fragrance oil and color, but I am open to any suggestions. I also read that mixing the IGI 6006 w/Golden Wax 464 worked well for others so may try that down the road too. I have cdn 10, eco 12 and eco 14 wicks now. But I am open to suggestions. I have had some pretty good luck with the Golden Wax 464 and the eco 12 and 14 wicks but am I right to think that those are not a good fit for the 6006 ? thank you in advance for the help

Hello to everyone from the beautiful Ozarks! I am so glad to have found this forum!!! Triple Exclamation on that. My name is Linda and I have just started my journey with candle making. I thought like so many uninformed that this would be a simple thing. Shoot I can bake a mean cookie, cake or pie and throw a meal together in almost nothing flat or so I'm told. Actually I really enjoy cooking and developing my own recipes and putting my own twist on things and have spent a lot of time in the kitchen. Definitely I am a Foodie. So a few weeks ago I had this Epiphany that I needed to have a new hobby, something new to do over the Fall and Winter months and since I love to bake and love to cook and love candles I decided what better hobby, what better way to relax. I could make my own candles and what the heck while I am at it I can make them for others too. So I did a little you tube watching and read a few things and off I was. I had no idea that this process was more than picking out a wax, a wick, a fragrance and a container. I also had no idea how addicting this was..........waking up in the middle of the night wondering what about this what about that. But all this said I am loving every minute of it. (almost any way) I am honored to be here with all of you and look forward to meeting you all.
