  1. Right, but it would let me narrow down the wick without making several candles for several different wick sizes.
  2. Fixing to place an order and can't decide if I should add on a dozen 8oz tins to test with my wax samples or go with 8oz Kerr jars that I can get locally..
  3. I would like to test USA (Univeral Soy Additive) in 415, but I don't want to order an entire pound just to test a small bit with a couple pounds of wax. Anyone know where I can get a small amount of this additive to try? I have contacted one of the companies that sells it find out if it's something they can offer, but I have yet to hear back.
  4. Instead of attaching the wick to the bottom of the tin - can I poke a hole into the candle, insert wick, heat gun it and then burn? Or is it harder than I'm thinking to put a hole into the candle? I'd be testing 6006 and 415.. and I want to test both HTPs and CDs in 8oz tins. Would save on wax if this is possible..
  5. Posted in classified that I'm looking for USA. I don't need a lot, just enough to try in a few pounds of wax to test is all. To see if it's even worth it spending the shipping costs on a full pound..
  6. Oh I know! I remember the costs being high a few years ago when I did this, but now that I'm trying to get back into it - it must have gone up. I've been playing online the last few days trying to figure out what to order from who to TRY to save on shipping. I thought I had it figured out, order from Lonestar (for my wax and wicks). But I wanted to get Peak's sampler FO pack, and the shipping on 10oz of oil is nuts. Put them in a flat rate box! lol. On that note - anyone have opinions on the FOs from Lonestar if I just order everything through them?
  7. For instance I'm wanting to order one single thing from this one supplier - Universal Soy Additive. It's not available from any of the other suppliers I'm needing/wanting to order from. The USA is only 4.99 but shipping to me is over $10 via priority. Absolutely crazy.. Too bad they can't shove it in a flat rate box and save me almost half that shipping.. :rolleyes2
  8. Thanks And I did find the supplier abbreviation list for a refresher.
  9. Looking at ordering containers online since my local walmart only has the larger Ball canning jars... Can anyone tell me the dimensions (diameter and height) of the Kerr 8oz wide mouth and the Ball 8oz? Wondering if they're the same and my googling isn't finding me any answers. TIA! **Nevermind I think I found my answer!**
  10. So CD is not the same as Peak's Cotton Core wicks? Peak's are what I'm looking at right now since I can hopefully get nearly everything from one place and save on shipping.
  11. Forgive my possibly silly question... but I've only used HTP wicks in the past. However, my reading suggests a cotton core wick for use in 100% soy waxes. I had thought, for some reason, that CD and Cotton Core wicks were the same thing. That is until I came across Rustic Escentuals wick page that has both listed lol. So what is the difference between the two?? Editing to add: Will be ordering some 415 soon from Peak, and will be using it in glass jars - as for how I'd be using the wicks. Thanks!
