I'm desperate to find out what wick should I use with IGI4630 Hatmoney Continer wax and IGI 6028 Par?veg blend wax

what size container will you be useing???

hot glue gun

It's good that you're doing research, but maybe you could just read some of these old 4627 threads instead of bringing them all back from the dead. Then if you have any remaining questions, you can start your own thread and ask them.

mabey she look already?

if you are out there.....please do.....i am just at a loss:embarasse

ok i use this wax and get nooo soot so far i must be wicking just right.what size jar are you using.here is an example ,for me on a 8oz jj i use 44-32-18z and it works just fine ,so what size jar are you useing?

Country candlemaker,

i am glad it is working for you. it gives me hope. i am using the 4630 but i am just starting out so wicking is hard for me to begin with. but i am getting the hang of it. What wicks are you using? I am using the lx.

i used zinc wicks

???????????????????????????????

What size wick do you usually use in a 4 oz or 8 oz. I seen peaks sells a kit with the wax I use(4630), and 8 oz tins with zinc 51s. Do you think that is a good size?

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? :D

i use 4630 and get no soot must have wick right just my luck

imo i have used it for over 2 years now working fine for me.

maybe this might help you did a little search look up in the distributer side i did see an ohio in there,it was deer creek honey farms ,good luck to the both of use lol lol:cheesy2:

I bought out all of the Golden Harvest Jars in my area and all surrounding areas. All of the Wal Marts, Big Lots and Dollar Generals too. I've traveled 50 miles in all directions and there are none. Wal Mart will NOT order them in for me Nor will Big lots! Flower Factory is out too!!

Where can I get these jars? I am thinking I'll have to pay shipping!

Filmore Glass doesn't carry them They carry the Ball jars and I can't use my labels on them!

Fire

wow you and me are in the same boat i just bought the last 15 cases from big lots now there are telling me they are may not get any more in.

i am going to watch this post and find out where to get them.

ok ithink i used to much fo lmao i used a cup of baking soda and around 2 oz fo and talk about knock your socks off fo lmao wonder how long this will last,oh was i supposed to let it dry before i put it in the carpet???lol lmao:D

oh boy iam going to go get rid of a little fo,s that been sitting around and go mix some up fresh cut roses still smell good i going to try it.

Mushrooming is carbon build up on the wick = unburned fuel or soot.

Santa's kitchen this should keep me busy for the weekend.

Thanks for the replies....guess I will just have to experiment ......I will eventually find a wax supplier that is close to California or be stuck still ordering from PA and paying a gazillion dollars in shipping. Luckily I am in a tourist area and everything is already overpriced here (smile).....Donita[/QUOT

hi why don't you give let-it shine a call,they have a warehouse here in Sacramento,ca and they might be able to ship from there and save on shipping for you,they have all kinds of wax,i use them myself i just call them and i go pick it up at the warehouse when i am in Sacramento.

or you can always try cierra candles there in reno and they have 10% off on all waxes this month.

I have been having trouble making votive for awhile now. Sometimes when I make votive they turn out great other times not so good! Yesterday I used mp140 1tbsp of universal additive 1.5 oz of FO per pound. Poured at 185 into heated votive molds. Pulled out the votives I scented coconut and white spots was threw out the votive. Then I pulled out the ones I scented butterscotch and they had tiny pin holes everywhere. I remelted them and re poured the same way as listed above and they turned out great. Why is when I remelt and pour again they turn out great? Thanks so much for any help on this matter!

*I wish I had a digital camera I would have shown you all what they looked like before I re poured them again!

have you tryed only useing 1oz fo to 1 pound????try pouring at 170 and dont heat your molds.

Hi Everyone! So I know this wick question is pretty redundant and after tons of researching, I've decided to ask for some different opinions!

I have a wide round jar w/ a 3 1/2" diameter opening; the body is closer to 4" diameter; and 3 1/2" tall. When I got these containers, the store owner said to triple wick with 44-20-18z. (btw, using 4630 wax) However, after testing with these wicks, I've noticed that the candle is def over-wicked! (thanks to all the wonderful expertise advice on this forum!!:highfive: ) The melt pool is too large and too deep w/in such a short period of time! So I know I need to wick down... does anyone have any advice using a container similar to this one whether to use two smaller wicks or one larger wick? I've also come across the wick charts, but they only help to a certain extent.

Thanks so much!! Everyone has been such a big help already in my research!!

hi well i use the same wax iga 4630 and the jar is 16oz and about the same size you have. and i use two 44-24-18z you might want to try this size..

I found this on Ebay.

Hi all,

I am planning on making a second bedroom in my home my candle work area. I am concerned, however, about getting wax onto the carpet. So I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas on what I could use to cover the floors. I thought about a vinyl floor mat, like the ones used for office chairs so that they roll easily, but obviously that wouldn't be big enough.

I know I can't be the first person to try to work on top of a carpeted space, so just wondering what others have done. Thanx.

go to harbor fright and get one of those big blue tarps to cover the floor and there are cheap.
