forgot, i used 8 oz. masons but they work great in other jars and in the palm waxes.

I love the Ultra wicks. They stay straight while burning and no soot. they throw well in 6006, 50/50 and soy.

I have been mixing 6006 and ez soy and it is great. cheaper to mix two, saves on cost but nice to have it already mixed. DP morris is high and so is the shipping. Unless, I am looking at it wrong. I wish I was closer to them so I could go pick it up. Let me know if they have 50/50

I am in central IL, farmington. It is called the spoon river scenic drive. Several counties involved. It went really well. I never know where to get wax. I would like to get some 50/50 but everyone is so expensive esp. with shipping.

i Just have a sign that says fire starters and tell them when they buy them that they are only for putting in fire places and not to be used as a candle.

I pour 50 % soy and 50% 6006 igi wax at 160. Even if I make 70/30 wax with the soy and 6006, I pour between 150 and 160.

I did very well at my craft show this last weekend, however, out of about 40 vendors, there were 2 selling candles, so needless to say, most of the money I made in sales was from candles. I had to remake more for the next day and used 1/2 and 1/2 so that they would cure faster since selling so fast. They did not mind that they were not all soy.

I have been blending the 6006 at first 50/50 hwich is great but wanted to keep more to the soy that I advertise so blending 2 to 1 (2 lb.s soy and 1 lb. 6006.). I use the Ultra wicks from Fil Tec wicks. I love them. Even in straight soy that have one heck of a hot throw and the wicks don't move when burning. I love them.

Started using the 6006 wax with the 415. Great together. Nice scent throw.

well, now that is an awesome idea. I just take left overs and pour in cup cake liners. I have some that I made with corragated paper and tied with a flat braid wick.

Mine still will stick and it is votive, pillar wax. the silicone molds work great. what size wick do you use in votives?

I made some tonight and pulled them out of the molds before they cooled all the way then stuck them in an insulated cooler to finish cooling down. The bubble wrap around the molds seems to help bring out the stars better for some reason. Keeping them warm after taking out of the molds helps the stars pop out also. I have a silicone pillar mold that I pour into also, and it comes out of them nicely. The metal ones are stinkers but if I take them out while still warm, it is easier. The feather wax is so much easier to work with.

I take the star burst out of the mold before all the way cooled down, then bubble wrap it and let it sit until cooled. This way I can get the candle out of the mold. I don't have any problem with the feather wax coming out. I cover my molds with bubble wrap before pouring and then cover over the top of them so they can cool down slower. The star burst burst more this way and the color really pops out. I made pumpkin spice and colored with orange chips and one was not covered and one pillar was cover with bubbble wrap before. the one with bubble wrap turned a darker orange and the one without wrap was a yellowish color.

Sure, Indiana candle company

Hello,

I have always just used Ez soy and now trying 6006 wax. I believe 6006 is already an 80/30 mix. I have been reading where a lot of you like to mix 50% EZ with 50% 6006. I use the 8 oz. square mason jars. Should I use the CD12 or 14 with this wax or and LX 22? I also have ultra wicks that I could try. I am at the last minute here trying to figure this out since i am unable to get the 50/50 where I bought it before. I used CD12 in 50/50 wax before. I usually only pour about 1 oz. per lb. of wax. Appreciate some help. I usually have more time to test more. Thanks. Deb

You are probably better off adding a wick.

i have instructions to light the paper cup.

Here is a pic of mine when I bottle them. I put them in a box with reeds.

Mine are going for $10.00 ea. or two for $16.00

wow, have at least $4.00 with oil, base, bottle, labeling, not including labor.

I am packaging 2 oz. bottles with 6 reeds. I thought that I would sell them for $10.00 each. On your refill bottles, do you also add half diffuser base and half oil? I use HG. thanks. Deb:)

what do you usually charge for your firestarters? I made some with rolled up kraft packaging paper (the thick bumpy type) and tied them with a wick. I did not know if .50 was too much each. They are about 4 to 4 1/2 in long.

ok, dumb question here. is the 4630 a paraffin blend for containers? Can I mix ez soy (i think it is 415) with 70% soy and 30 % 4630 or is a wax like J223 better to blend with soy wax? wanting to make my own blend so I can save on cost

That is ok funflames, I like to know the properties too. that helped.

Leeann, if they told you that on the phone then it must be true. they just have not let others know on the net which sucks.

I have some J223 and soy 415. I will try 70 % soy with 30% J223 and use a CD12 to start with. Thanks again.
