  1. Then that would be why I couldn't find it. Thanks.
  2. How can I get one? I've googled and can't come up with anything.
  3. To put it short and sweet, for me, by switching to a blend, I got rid of the soot and smoking of paraffin and the frosting and bumpy tops of soy. I got the best of both worlds.
  4. Very nice! I love that marble too!
  5. Here's a chart that I refer to a lot for burn rates. It is a bit limited, I think, but may help you somewhat. If not, omit this post. LOL http://aromahaven.com/wicks.html
  6. Mix away! You can mix and match whatever container waxes you feel like mixing. Who knows what you may come up with!
  7. Wal-Mart carries these now. $4.84 a piece. Back in the craft section where the liquid potpourri is.
  8. Nearly every FO I've tried from LS and BC have been WEAK at 6%, so I marked them off of my list. Peak's quality is top notch. Haven't tried the others.
  9. Sorry, I should have been clearer. I was talking about paraffin container waxes. I've tried a bajillion of them. J-50, J-223, IGI 4786, CW129, Comfort Blend, IGI 1945/4630, and a few others. I ALWAYS got soot, and with most of them I got horrible smoking while burning, even with the wick trimmed. The smoking was the worst with the 1945/4630. The soot/smoke occured in all of these waxes when I used 3% AND 6% FO. When I said soy is cleaner burning for me, what I meant was that the jars are cleaner. Soy may put off "white" soot, but I can't see it. I don't like black soot showing up on my containers. I won't sell them that way.
  10. Oh, man, I bet that is a mess! Glad you didn't get burned. A lesson learned. Direct heat and wax don't mix.
  11. I use a wax that is 98% soy, because I got fed up with the black soot and smoke that paraffin gave me. Some people never get soot or smoke with par., but I always did. I got awesome throws with it, but I gave up and decided to move on. I have found that the major difference between soy and par, for me, is that the soy burns so much cleaner.
  12. Hope she recovers soon!! Next summer works for me. I really didn't wanna go pregnant!
