    Right, but it would let me narrow down the wick without making several candles for several different wick sizes.
  2. ashncandles
    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..

    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.

    Wonderful! Thank you.

    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..

    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..

    Thanks for the tip!

    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?

    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

    Thanks And I did find the supplier abbreviation list for a refresher.

    Trying to find what supplier CC is..

    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!**
  13. ashncandles
    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.
  14. ashncandles
    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!

    I had not heard this, thank you for the info!

    I am wanting to try Xcel too, I've heard good things about it. And it's available from my closest supplier (which is still a day's drive away lol).
  17. ashncandles
    Well I guess you would assume that a lit flame within a metal container would cause the container to become hot right? Not being sarcastic, just trying to clarify since I haven't yet used a metal tin for candles. But I plan to go that route this time since I'd like that look better. But it'd be the same caution as with a glass container candle, or any candle for that matter, to not move while lit.
  18. ashncandles
    Universal Soy Additive, gotcha. Thank you so much for the info!
  19. ashncandles
    Is there an additive I can add to the 415 to help with the appearance?
  20. ashncandles
    Did you have any luck with the Xcel?
  21. ashncandles
    Thanks, I just wasn't sure if it was a safety thing with the candle getting hot or something. Thanks!
  22. ashncandles
    They're glass tureen candles with a screw top canning lid, so they should be ok then. I don't have a warmer right now to try them out, that's why I asked. Thanks!
  23. ashncandles
    Awesome - thank you everyone! I did submit a request for a sample, crossing my fingers!
  24. ashncandles
    Aw thanks. Good luck with that! I'm leaning towards an all soy wax this time anyways, was just wondering if there was something similar to my old wax love.
  25. ashncandles
    Oh my... I want to say it was parasoy but I'm honestly not to sure.. it was 5+ years ago that I used it. :/ I am pretty sure it was a solid wax rather than flakes. So that's what has me leaning towards saying it was parasoy..
