Well i am heating the was to 170 and preheating my glasses to 125. I am waiting to add the FO until the wax gets to the temp of 160 then I pour.

I was not aware that I should allow the candles to set for about a week before testing them I have a few i poured about a week ago I will oull one out and see how it does. You guys have been great help I am so glad I found this board:D

ok a scale got it whats the best kinda scale to get? Is a standard kitchen scale ok or is there a special type?

I let the candles cool right on the counter for 24 hours after about 5 is when i notice the hole around the wick.

The hest gun are they the same ones you can buy at Lowes or Home Depot?

Thanks

Ok i have purchased the following from LoneStar

wax is IGI-4627 (Comfort Blend)

wicks were CD Series Wicks

and the scents were clean cotton and Cappuccino Brulee

i am pouring them into containers 3.7 oz i thought small to start with until i get the hang of it.

the probelm that i am having is this i am not getting a good scent throw and when the candle cools a hole creates around the wick. I am unsure as to how to measure the scents i have been sorta eye balling it which may be my problem. :undecided

Any help with how to measure and if the items i purchased may be wrong for what i am trying to do please tell me. also once i get the container candle down i want to try making pilars. what is the best wax for this?

Thanks

Danielle
