Oh! my I never would believe all the air pockets that GG has I made a container with out pocking holes and start burning it and you can see all the holes from the top. So i went search looking and found this From you Stella I don't do any tapping for air bubbles, nor do I try and spot them through the hardened wax because as the candle cools & crystallizes, it will trap air bubbles in the structure of the crystals, so they do not always rise to the surface like they would in a smooth textured wax. Most are located very near the wick (all around) or a short distance in from the outer edge of the candle (all around). If you visualize the top of the candle like the solar system with the wick being the sun, the cavities form between the sun & venus and between saturn & neptune. For those of us who don't remember which planet is where, click here. I already cheated and looked! :embarasse . It's important to understand that the cavities form because of cavitation - the large crystals have space between them that trap fine air bubbles as the candle cools. The "air bubbles" have NOTHING to do with bubbles from stirring, melting, etc. I have written & illustrated the method I use for removing the cavities, so I won't repeat it here; however it is important to realize the air cavities are not all located just under the surface - they are throughout the interior of the candle so it's important to get deep into the candle before it hardens. Stella I never seen those illustrated methods you are saying Can you please point me to that thread I really like to see it and learn before I burn the house :laugh2: Thank you

Okay! the reason I dint cut the soap was I have made 4 slobs each of the same. And cut the three of them and wrap them and had the 4rth uncut for my craft show for customers to see how it looks when is not cut and warp nicely So! here is the cut bars I hope you like:)

Here is my beer soap Drakkar type made it last year and and still uncut and my Ginger /Eucalyptus/Lemon grass EO Soap Enjoy!

Palm Wax burning I have a question about palm wax I have a jar burning now a 10 oz salsa jar 3.75 wide 3.75 tall htp 105 wick first burn and everything seems good. Now I read somewhere that the palm wax burns down first and it has a lot of hangups. My question is how many 4hrs burns I have to do do before I know if my wick is the right one. Hope I explain everything Ok...

Okay! here I go reporting on my burns sorry to disappoint everybody but all the candles were under wick exp apt one now I have to remelt all of them and wick up 1 size or 2 I don't thing I will worry about the looks right now I just want to find the right wick Now my question is how do I remelt the Jars I know I have to put them in the stove but how high it has to be I am so I have to do it again

Result of burning the Palm wax you were right about letting the wax go all the way that baby jar burn all the way down to the end nice and clean, and very comfortable to touch. Now I am testing the 10oz jar and having problems with the flame is the flame supposed to be high when you firs light the cause this one has a really large flame any advise will be appreciated And Stella! you like that eh? "hangover"

Very nice job!

barncat do you get some traffic with it and sales or do you thing is not worth the time. Just use my gift card and let it go :tiptoe:

Okay! I started burning my first palm wax on a baby food jar the baby jar Honeysuckle 6% fo from NG the cold and hat throw is amazing and burns good with an htp 73 wick. the flame is low and the sides have a hangover I will let it burn all the way and see how it goes:)

Welcome

Has anyone try the Natures Garden's Natural Palm Container Wax-this is what is on there site Palm waxes naturally create beautiful crystal structures that form as the candle cools. In order to fully accomplish this crystaline effect, it is pertinent that you pour this melted wax at 200 degrees, and cool your candles slowly. I have to order few Fos from them and was wondering about the palm wax they sale is it the same as theGlass Glow IGI R2322A or not it will save me some shipping money if I order everything from them:)

Thank you Felixncharlie, for making your point. As I stated previously, it is still under construction, and there will be mistakes...that's why I have it under construction.

I really don't know what happen there

Well; felixncharlie I don't thing you are Rude I thing you should be a little more discreet and let people know by PM and in private. The thing is I am very Proud of what I accomplice, coming from another country, with out Speaking, reading, or righting, And doing a website, that I never dream of, So if anybody wants to help I am here If you want to laugh no problem.... !-- /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 {size:612.0pt 792.0pt; margin:72.0pt 90.0pt 72.0pt 90.0pt; mso-header-margin:35.4pt; mso-footer-margin:35.4pt; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} -->

Stella I guess I am getting old forget to mention I try the CDN 8 HTP 73with Victorian Xmas and it burn a little hot after 3hrs now I am testing it with HTP 62 I am also testing now White tea and Ginger, Cream Burlle, and Eucalyptus leaf, from Peaks, same jar same everything with an HTP 73 and keep my fingers cross:)

My niece had a baby abut a year ago and she saving the jars for me the small ones she just gave me about 100 of them and more coming I am using a blend of CBA and C3 with one tbs co oil 7% scent and I have wicks LX 18 -20 -22 HTP wick 73- 83- 93 and CDN -10-12- So my question is witch wick should the best for those Jars I hope sobody can help me Thank you

Top! my wick did drown and fell over, and it did burn with no smoke all the way and the jar was clean but I was not happy with the flame it was kind high for my peace of mine, so i am going to try an Htp 83 to see how it burns and show some pictures. (If you are using wick assemblies with the metal base, I think it should be possible to to burn one from the top to the bottom.) I dint use the wick base I just insert the wick in You know sometimes it's very hard for me to explain some things, and some people take it the wrong way But I am really trying to learn the right way to do what I start thanks for helping
