I'll try those too lol If this doesn't work I'm going to put these jars in the classifieds lol I've heard good things about the 415 wax & it being easy to wick so I may order 10 lbs of it to try.

I don't know, but I think it's the fact that paraffin melts faster than soy so the flames can't keep up by burning off the wax fast enough when you double wick. I got a 15 or 16 oz Libbey Cylinder jar to try double wicking 4627, but haven't tried it yet. Couldn't double wick that wax in jars with lips or necks. I think I've read that it's easier to double wick with two 51z because they burn cooler so they don't melt the wax too fast for the flame to consume it.

I'll give the 51z a try I have plenty of those

It's not a full melt pool all the way across. I did just check the jar & the one side is hot. Right now I'm ready to throw in the towel. I will try smaller wicks. I've tried CD 5's, 6's & 7's. Maybe I need to try a single wick but it takes such a big wick to do that.

Has anyone ever been able to single wick this jar with 70/30 same as the Clarus wax?

This is what I figured. I have had the same problem. I am hoping you will have better success than me. Pure soy worked well for me as well with double wicking in the tall necked jars but paraffin blends or parasoy blends is another story. I can only use that kind of wax in single wicked jars or wide jars with no necks for double wicking...i.e. Libbey Cylinder jar or Tureen, etc. I was able to double wick the 70/30 in the 10 oz. apothecary but not the 16 oz. apothecary which are necked jars as well as the jar you are using.

Yeah I'm not having much trouble with the shorter jars & so far that has been the case with the 26 ounce jars

Here is a pic I don't know if you can tell from it. Oh that is such a bummer if that is the case

The jar isn't quite 4". I don't have any assemblies on the wick so I can pull them out if I need to. I have them spaced pretty equally across the jar as best a my eye can tell. The wick that was fading again is starting to pick up a flame again after about 45 minutes of burning.

I've ordered a multi wick setter & got my wick trimmer will try that & see if it makes any difference.

I don't think it's "drowning" because the other wick is working perfectly.

Yes I used the same wick size & cut it shorter. It's been an hour now & that same wick is barely burning. The other one is doing fine. I think I may need to wick up. I've been having trouble with double wicking this jar with the 70/30 blend. With the CB Advanced wicked with a HTP 105 works beautifully in it. One of the wicks always seems to get weak. Maybe I need to put the closer together. IDK I'm at a total loss.

I just pulled out the wick that went out & replaced it with another wick. Been 11 minutes so far & it's looking good. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Candy corn sounds like it would have vanilla in it to me and usually anything with vanilla is a heavier oil so I would think that could still be suspect.

Thank you as far as the melt pool it was going very well LOL until the other wick died.

I'm going to pull out the one that went out & put in another wick & see how it works. I don't think it's a heavier oil I'm not really sure I bought from the classifieds it's Candy Corn. Don't know where it is from.

Just curious is there anyway to determine if an oil is a heavier oil or not?

Yes the flames were healthy. After looking again the other wick is shorter & burnt down into the melt pool. At first when I straightened it up it was ok but now it's just barely above the melt pool & won't light again. Going to pull them out & try cutting a little shorter.

It's the Libbey 26 ounce storage jar the wax is just below where the larger part gets smaller. I hope this makes sense.

I just lit a container jar to start testing. Wicked with (2) Eco 8's. I lit both wicks & when I went back to check on them one of them went out. The wick is curling into the melted wax. I didn't trim them that short. This isn't the first time this has happened.

I'm using 70/30 container blend 6% FO in the jars. Should I leave the wick longer or maybe it was too long? I'm at a loss here & it's very frustrating.

Well on this one I went to check it again & the 2nd wick is for some reason shorter than the other & is just barely above the melt pool. Don't know how in the world that happened. ughhhhhh

Thanks yes it is a good deal I sent them an email waiting for a reply. I'll post when I get one.

Does anyone know if they have dust covers or lids for these jars? They have them priced $18.00 per case for 72 jars. I don't find anything on their website.

I just ordered from Candle Science Guess i should have waited lol I may take you up on it if you still have it later that way I can have 2 people wicking lol

For those of you that use or have used this tool how do you like it? I'm considering ordering one from Candle Science they have the best pricing on them that I have found.

Pro's, con's, opinions?

I triple wick them too, but I use pariffin...

What type of wicks do you wick them with if you don't mind my asking? I'm thinking maybe 3 smaller zincs maybe votive size wicks.

I haven't poured or tested one yet I will let you know.

This is just my opinion. If you can make money off of selling them for $2.50 go for it. I have bartered on prices before to get the sale.

I'm looking for someone to test my candles for me. I have one person in mind already waiting on a reply back from them. I need one more person that will be willing to test my candles. Please pm me if you are interested.

I'd prefer someone that has a few years candle making experience and knows what to test for. That will test them the way they should be tested & give me important feedback information, positive, negative, improvements etc.

I will send you the candles so there is no cost to you.

I'm starting to get ready to pour & test these. I'll be testing with GB 444. With my 70/30 I usually used (2) 51-32 zincs. Do you think this would be a good starting point for the GB 444 as well?

I can't help with AH/RE but I have Natures garden odor eliminator spray & they have pet scents I love it.

I've decided I think to go with the Silver wraparound labels for my jars. I however, am not very creative. I'm looking for someone to simply create a label for me either in Online labels Maestro or The Print Shop 23 or compatible.

I'm not looking for anything fancy just a scent name, my company name, soy blend candles, net weight, hand crafted in:

No images no drawings just set up the lettering for me so that I can edit it to what I need. I can't afford to pay much please pm me if you would be interested in setting up a simple template for me. Thanks

Do you mean the label is too long for the jar you want to put it on? Or as JAJC spoke about, you're looking to fill up the empty space you didn't know you'd have?

If you're talking about it being too long for the jar, I have designed labels this way so they overlap and in turn stay on the container better. I've found this necessary especially with onlinelabels polyester material for my lip balms. I do it for my roll on perfumes too. If this is what you mean, you'll have to do a little math with the length to get it to line up right when you figure in the overlap length and then the copy orientation on each side.

Otherwise I'm in complete agreement with JAJC that less is more in most cases.

I really love your silver status jar labels they are gorgeous.

I have used those jars quite often & never had any problems with them. I also use them for testing.
