Ok, did another pour with the 444. Much better results on this one. Heated @ 175 added f.o. (eggnog-candlemaker's store) and poured at 150 like Jason suggested. This phase is so easy to do. Only poured one 8 oz. frosted jar and the top was beautiful...no pitts or cracking. However, since this wax is a little tricky to wick, I used a larger wick (1212) and the flame was a little too high for me inspite of cutting it a little short but about 1/2 hour later it was burning like a champ. As a matter of fact, eventhough this is a large wick, it didn't achieve quite a full melt pool after 3 hours of burning. width of jar is about 3 1/2 in...so I'll do another burn and see how it goes. The hot throw is excellent. More later.
