To make a 16oz. jar which only holds 14oz. soy and fo, do you use 14.50 soy and 1.50oz. fo OR do you use 12.75 soy and 1.25oz. fo? which one is the better?

well, isn't there a certain way to make them? everyone does it differently. just wanted to make sure i'm doing it right.

i just wanted to see how others do it, no need to get pissed about it.

but how do you all make an 8oz. jj soy candle?

the same here

I think snowtop sells them

i use the little dixie cups, then i through them away

yes, thats where i got them, so, the medium one to try?

the place I got my wicks said small,medium, and large.

would you use in an 8oz. jj with 100% soy? Medium or large?

evergreen pine from snowtop. awesome

should say down not under.

It takes forever to get a melt pool side to side and under. Should i still wick down?

Definitely could be the large wick causing it. I use ECO wicks and mine smell just fine, so it's probably not just a wick source issue.

how much soy and fo do you add to make an half pint jar?

it must have been the first burn, cause i'm burning it now, and it doesnt have burnt smell.

I am not sure, but I think alot of it depends on the science side of it (adding fo at the right temp, right pour temp, and the strength of the FO)

I am a soy user so I have nothing to compare it to, but I know pour temp and the temp for adding FO is crutical to the scent throw; and curing as well...

HTH!:highfive:

what temp do you add fo at?

how did you fasten your wick to the bottom of the jar?

I was out of my regular soy so, I got soy from a local company. I made an 8oz. candle 7.25oz. soy with 3/4oz. fo,christmas splendor. heated to 175 and added fo at 175. good smell is good, but burning it is another thing. It stinks. I made it 11-2-06. I'm burning another one with her soy and it stinks also. I made that one 10-28-06. why do they stink?

fo and soy wax?

Hi, I'm trying to make a 16oz. mason jar, but, it only holds 13oz. soy. If i melt 12oz. soy and 1oz. fo. with an HTP 1312, do you think it will work?

They are regular mouth jars. I will try what you said.Thanks

no I havent burned it all the way down yet.

i use 100% soy.I'm trying to wick a 16oz. mason jar using orange chiffon cake.(its a thick fo) I have tried 14.5oz. soy, 1 1/2oz. fo and HTP 1312, 16oz. soy and 1oz. fo and HTP 1312, and 16oz. soy 1 1/2oz. fo and HTP 1212. None of them burn all the way side to side and they are about 1/8 - 1/4 deep. I burn them for about 3 hours at a time unless the jar gets hots. What else should I do?
