  1. I just called Candlewic to ask if they would consider carrying them. She (Ellen Daniels) said they didn't carry them because they have never really had any requests to do so and if they were to begin carrying them it would be after the first of the year. I told her that I believed there would be a decent amount of interest. TallTayl, maybe you can call her and tell her what they can be used for in addition to palm wax and if everyone else calls to request it also, perhaps this problem will be resolved quickly and we wont be trying for the next year to find substitution.
  2. That was probably it! Thank you! I was trying to search within the forum by looking at his posts and isolating date ranges. I just assumed there was some trick in there I did not know yet...Google will make this much easier. Ha Ha.
  3. How do I find the other post on wicking starburst palm? In another thread I had read several weeks ago someone had referenced these posts. I looked by user name and date but was not able to locate them. (Any explanation given needs to be VERY BASIC, please, since I am completely new to this forum thing Thanks!
  4. Hello everyone. I just found this board about two weeks ago and have read and re-read several threads. One of them, "The best throwing wax", started by Trappeur, discusses the CBL 125, Palm wax (two kinds), and I the 4627 so I decided to try all of them (and the wicks that were suggested, too), and I will order some 129 after I get through all the ones I just ordered! I started making candles last November and was told to start with 4630 (not by CW but one of the other six places I have ordered from :) and I can not get a reliable result as far as scent throw through two boxes even after multiple heating/pouring/wicking combinations so I was THRILLED to find you all! I don't know how to just quote just the last line of the above post but that is what I wanted to respond to: I called CW to ask some questions before I ordered and was told that the 125 is the IGI 4633 (the old J223). I also asked her to rank (in her opinion) the waxes I was asking about for HT. This was the order she thought they landed in: 129 (two pour) best throw out of this list but a little more work b/c of the second pour, 125 (single pour), 4627 (single pour), very close to the 125 as far as throw but MUCH messier, 4630 (single pour) I found this helpful because it pretty well lined up with most of the comments I have read on here so far Anyway, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for sharing your knowledge and experience! It is MUCH APPRECIATED!
