  1. Yes I have done layers with the J223 as well, you just need to embrace the wet spots and accept them.
  2. This Archive thread might help http://www.candletech.com/cgi-local/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Discussions;action=display;num=1119843217
  3. If you want that hot burn, and great scent throw that the zinc offers. You have to learn to accept the mushroom
  4. If you are using the J223 I believe the specs call for pouring into your containers in the range of 145-155 degrees. As for what temp to add your FO, you dont want to add too cool as it will not mix properly with the wax. It will settle at the bottom of the container when the wax has cooled. You just need to test and see what is right for you.
  5. Yeah I usually put mine in aroud 160 - 180 and pour between 145-155
  6. Pitifully poor hot sent throw Don’t let a few posts deter you from testing your zinc wicks and your J223. I get an excellent hot and cold throw from my J223 and zinc wicks. Before you purchase your CD's do some testing with the zinc to see if you get a good throw first. I have heard allot of people complain on here about the CD's & HTP's, Cotton Core smoke too much. You need to test see what is right for you.

  8. From reading allot of posts I would think that the Zinc Core Wicks are the most popular for Container Candles. They mushroom an awful lot, so I was wondering if someone can go over the advantages and disadvantages of some of the other wicks: Like the Zinc Core I know helps the wick stay centered (advantage) but the mushrooming is a (disadvantage) I am relatively new at this and have not experimented with any other wicks. HTP Wick Cotton Core Wick LX Wick What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of these wicks pertaining to container candles. Thanks . . . . . .
