Very well said, and I agree with you 100% :highfive:

Does anyone know a good Dupe of Yankmee's Coconut Bay?

....Madison Jars (from YES Supply) using soy? I'm having such a hard time with this container and it's driving me to drink!! I think I'm just one wick away from getting the smaller, 12 oz wicked with one ECO 12 but I haven't tested that yet. It's the large, 16 oz that is a real PITA. Just curious if anyone has successfully wicked it.

Thank you! Do you think there is much of a difference between the frosted and the glass glow in terms of hot throw?

Just curious on the hot throw you got>

Do you think that if you add a little soy to it, that there would be no need for relief holes? Anyone try that yet?

I'm searching for a single-pour palm container wax. I know candlescience has one, but they are out of stock for at least 2-3 weeks. I've tried S&P's and I love the hot/cold throw, but I hate how I have to do relief holes and repour.

Does anyone else make a palm container wax where you don't have to do a repour?

Great, thank you very much for the replies. :highfive:

Kay, it's good to know that I'm not the only person in the world that happens to. :wave:

What is your most popular size of jar? Do people seem to like big (over 16 oz.) or smaller candles?

I use soy, and if I let my wax cool until it's slushy (cloudy and thick) I get very nice smooth tops.

I'm not sure if you have tested your candles yet, but you might get a better hot throw if you add you fo at a higher temp. I add mine at 170, right after I take it off the heat.

Good luck, and have fun!

I am just curious . For those of you who have made both types, what is your personal preferance as to which one has the best throw.

I started off making soy candles, but decided to try the palm wax from S&P a month or so ago and I think I like the hot throw it gives off much better than the soy candles I have made. The soy I have made gave a good hot throw, but to me, my nose picks up some "strange" scent in the soy wax (in all of them...who knows, maybe I'm doing something wrong!)

Anyway, I think the palm wax gives off a "cleaner/truer" scent than soy.

Anyone else have an opinion?

Sounds like great wax! I can't wait to try it. Anyone know when/if it will be back in stock?

Is there a container palm wax out there where you don't have to poke relief holes and do a repour?

I got a sample from S&P, and I LOVE the look and the scent throw I get with it, however, I don't really like how I have to keep the relief holes and do a repour. Are there any out there where you don't have to do that?

Thanks for the advice! :highfive:

I worry that with just one wick that I won't get a good hot throw, is there truth in that? Of course, I'm willing to give it a shot in order to stop my drowning wicks!!!

....that held EZSoy,double wicked, no color and 1 oz pp of NG fo....what kind of wicks would you like to have so that you had a great smell and a clean meltpool and WORKED?

Ok, I'm having a hard time figuring this out. I stared with RRD 34's, and the wicks drowned out so I figured I would wick up. Ok, got the RRD 37's because those say they are for containers with a diameter of 2.5-3". My jars are 3 1/4" and I DOUBLE WICK so I figured that would be more than big enough. Nope, they are drowning out and not giving me a full melt pool still. I'm thinking that maybe I just don't like the inconsistancy of RRD wicks. Do you think I should try some different type of wick? Or just keep wicking up with the RRD's?

Any help or advice would be GREATLY appreciated.

Right now I'm testing NG Caribbean and it's AMAZING!! I only made it on Saturday, so I can't wait for it to cure a bit more . YUMMY!!!

I don't color my wax. I thought that not having any color on my labels would make my jars seem "boring" and just thrown together. What do you think?

GREAT advice...that's why I love you guys (and ladies:grin2: ) here!

You've given me a LOT to think about!

For a clean, modern look, with uncolored soy wax which do you prefer on a label? A label with a picture in the background or a label with more of a solid or slightly texurized background? I use these jars:

Ok, which one:

Picture in the back

OR

Solid/texture in the back?

Thanks for the review! I ordered a sampler and I will be getting it this week. I can't wait to try it!

Thank you Very much!!!

I usually use EZSoy, but shipping is KILLING me! Plus, I'd like to get all of my suppliers down to just a few. I am going to try the new palm wax from them, but if I wanted to buy soy from them and I'm used to EZSoy, what would be my best bet? Thanks!

Beautiful!!!!:whoohoo:

Everyone is SO helpful, thank you:highfive: . I have got some great feedback from all of you!

I changed the fonts like you all suggested to be more "plain" other than the company name and the scent. I printed out a label last night and took a family "poll" as to where the label looked best and it was a unanimous decision that it was best-looking on top of the aluminum lid and not on the side of the candle. It's palm anyway I guess, so the candle is "pretty" enough, lol. And actually, the colored box did look really good since it was on the lid with the aluminum color in the background. With the box with the scent name in it, it kind of tied the label into the candle since the box was a very similar color to the candle itself. It definitely looked better actually ON the candle lid then here on the computer screen. However....then I came on here this morning and read the replies and I tried what someone suggested and just colored the font of the scent instead of the box behind it and now I don't know what I like better:undecided . Either way, I really think I want to have the scent colored in some way, because it ties the two together especially since I'll be putting my labels on the lid. So, once again, which do you prefer?
