Hello, I have been using Golden Brands 464 soy wax and I absolutely love it. I have not made 16 ounce apothecary jars with this wax as yet, but I just made a large order for a retail store in 10 oz apothecary jars and I used two CD-6 wicks. I have tried to single wick and it's very strange but you have to single wick very high and I don't like the mushroom that you get with a larger wick. So I would rather double wick much smaller and have a better, even burn. I'm thinking that maybe CD 8's or 10's would work very well in the 16 oz size and 10's or 12's for the 26 oz size. But you still need to test, test, test. I hope this gives you a starting point.

I just recently switched from 415 to 464. The major differences that I have found are in the pouring temp. I can treat and wick the 464 like a paraffin wax, which I love because it cuts out waiting time. I heat the 464, just like I heat the 415, to 185, measure my f/o out into my pour pot and once it's melted, I pour into my pour pot. Give it a good stir and let it sit only a minute and then pour into my containers. I also use this wax in tarts. It's awesome. With the 415, I would have to wait until it got slushy before I would pour it into the containers. Which also means that I would use more wax to fill the same container with the 415. I used to use 13 ounces of the 415 for a 16oz mason jar candle and now I can get away with 12 and it fills it to the same spot. I realize that's not much but if you making a lot of candles, it adds up. Which means I keep costs down. The other major difference is wicking. I have found that I need to wick down a couple of sizes with the 464 as well. As a result, I actually have a better burn. HTH!

Hello, I have just started using the 464 and I absolutely love it. No problems whatsoever. I would recommend it to anyone. I do try to let my candles cure about a week; however during testing, I only cured 48 hours and it was fine. HTH
