Those are gorgeous! Great job. I am quite the enabler aren't I??? LOL!

I only use CS Lavender. Great in Ecosoya CB135 & CS Palm waxes!

We all had a blast at the gathering tonight. It was very nice meeting everyone. Hopefully we can have a larger gathering in the fall and have classes, etc. Thanks to all the suppliers who donated samples & door prizes! All extra samples were given as door prizes. Everyone went home with a very full Goody bag! A special thanks to The Scent Works Mike & Tish & Diane with candlescience for attending.

That is strange. This wax loves heat! Make sure you pour b/w 190-195 degrees. Are you cooling on a rack also? Maybe cover them with a towel also. I will be taking the ones I poured last night out this afternoon. Will let ya know how they turned out.

Thanks. Yes I use CS pillar molds. This wax is different than the other palm pillar waxes. It is more brittle and you must cool it slowly to obtain the pattern. I cover mine with a thick towel to cool. I am getting ready to pour a couple more with a blue color. I am going to use the CSN 12 for these.

I ordered from them a few months ago upon a recommendation on the board. Fast Shipping great products! Best prices on organza bags that I have found.

I did start burning one today. I used a CSN 16 but it was a little large for this wax. The melt point on this is 8 degrees less than the others, so I need to wick down. I have had no problem wicking the other pillar waxes from CS. The pillars were actually easier to wick than the GGLOW!

Heartfelt's simply vanilla is a good extract type vanilla. Simply Vanilla This is not over powering...just a wonderfully simple vanilla, that will drift all over your house. Comparable to Partylite's Vanilla, only stronger http://www.heartfeltcandlesupply.com/FO.html

Thanks for the info. I have several of these in my home that I use!

I bet this wax would look beautiful with a blue dye! I will try that next. Thanks everyone! I do not think this wax is meant for adding to a regular line. You could do special editions, or just hoard it for yourself! LOL!

I have been wanting to try this wax from CS since it first came out. I finally took the plunge and poured a few today. I was so excited to post this pic I just stuck them in my light box and shot with the flash. I love this look. It has a nice shiny finish also!

That is a neat idea! Love it!

Lavender Vanilla (B&B type) from KY is a great scent. Lavender for survivors. Tahitian Vanilla from FOH or Very Vanilla from CS. Pink Sugar from Candlesource or ICS. These are ones that I have used for Relay for Life or Cancer Awareness. I try to choose soothing scents that would not bother the cancer patients, if they choose to buy the candles. Chemo makes them very sensitive to scents.

They look great!

Just some advice on the 464...do not pour this hot! I found that pouring at around 105 degrees or less is better. I pour just as the was starts to cloud.

This has happened to me with several scent samples I have sent people. I weigh it out, put extra postage on it and it usually comes back to add a couple more stamps!:undecided

LOL! Bribes are welcomed!

If you are having trouble with CB 135 being a one pour then you will have trouble with 464 too because in my opinion they are very similar. I have been pouring CB135 for going on three years now and have never had to do repours. I have been testing the 464 and do not have to do repours with this wax either.

Those Pics look great! LOL!

I actually am a patchouli lover! If you have not tried Flickers Patchouli honey you must! Yummy!!!! I will have to try the mix above. I have some JBN Pumpkin Pie Spice.

Please girl! I use CSN 14 spooled wick. It leaves a nice shell that mostly consumes near the end.
