i also use Pourette. great prices on chips and shipping!

if anyone has a carbon monoxide detector, has it ever gone off after making candles? i made candles yesterday and in the middle of the night our detector went off. this isn't the first time but we can't get a carbon monoxide reading anywhere in the house...any suggestions? thanks!

what size zincs for a 8 oz jj?

for those of yall that use J223, what wick do you find to gives you the best throw? right now i'm using CD8's but I was thinking about playing around with some different kinds. oh yeah, i only make 8oz jj's. tia.

i use CD 6's. the first burn seemed kinda slow to me but after the second and third burn it catched up and burned great. the 8's are def. too lage.

i just use the regluar $1 a can stuff from wal-mart...don't know the brand. i think maybe the logo is a red, blue and yellow circle...nothing special though. just a couple of coats...takes about 10 mintues. glad i could help!

i'm boring i know, but i just spray paint my black. the spray paint works really well and is smooth and even. i use black and then tie a colored ribon around it

ya i was terrified of the heat gun. used it for the first time last night and let me tell you...AMAZING! the temperature settings are really high but your stuff's not going to get that hot unless you let it sit in one spot for a while. i used it last night to level off the top of my containers and you just go over each candle about 30 seconds and you're good to go. i would assume it would be the same for cleaning. just leave it on there for a min. the wax melts in seconds, and wipe it away.

i've posted this somewhere before but the thing i LOVE the most is my old koozies i have lying around. some people didn't know what i was talking about so here it is.... http://www.bestimpressions.com/koozie.html maybe they're not as big in other parts on the world...but here in the south, every function you go to hands out free koozies. i make 8oz jj's and they fit perfectly into them for cooling

hot glue here...the only time i had one come loose is when i had my oven on BROIL instead of WARM and to top it off, i reached into the oven with my bare freakin' hand to get the jar and nearly burned my fingers off...they peeled for weeks! i'll NEVER to that again... but hot glue works great

how does that tell me what's the equal? :embarasse

i've searched but i can't really find what i'm looking for. is there a chart that would compare LX's to CD's or can anyone tell me what CD would be equal to an LX 24? Thanks

I don't know how far south you are but Bitter Creek South is in Houston and I recieve my packages in 1 day!! I haven't tried the scents out yet but I've heard nothing but good things about them on this board.

ya, i was planning on ordering from bittercreek. i just wanted to make sure there wasn't something peaks replaced j223 for that was almost identical. thanks

since peaks no longer carries J223, is there a wax anywhere close to it that they do carry? did you have to change your wicks, noticed a throw difference?
