    I get a crazy awesome throw from pretty much all of the ones that are three leaves on the soy chart on the site. I use 464 too, with CD wicks. Pumpkin souffle and Cranberry Marmalade are my two that I cannot live without. lol.

    I bought some of this- also the This Old House from VA Candle Supply. VA Candle supply is really not it at all. Fragrance Buddy is very close with just a couple notes off. OOB is very similar, in wax is quite similar and I'm about to start testing the fragrance while burning. I think that it's possible I can swap this in and only the most die hard will wonder if something might have changed.

    Have you tried a different type of wick? I found C3 to be very tempermental. HTP's were my go to wick. 464 is so much more forgiving!

    I use cd's with 464. Since 464 has such a low melt point, room temperature makes a huge difference in melt pool and flame size. Is your room warmer than normal? A CD 14 would be my normal starting point with that jar.

    I use 464 and square masons. Usually a CD 12. Sometimes strong spiced candles take the 14's. Undyed. I get the rustic lids from CandleScience. Love the Pewter!

    I tested and used C3 for a while. HTP wicks worked best by far. C3 seems like a fairly slowly burning wax. I ended up switching to 464 and cd's.

    I use CDs. I switched to dye free candles as the customers who were excited about soy wax were really happy with undyed. In an 8 oz jelly with 464, a CD 10 will work for most fragrances without dye. I think your red is killing you on this one. Try a 12 or go dye free.

    Gonna try an ounce to see while I still have some stock to compare it to. Anyone try VACandleSupply? That's another This Old House, but neither description is spot on. eta- placed orders for both- figured as long as I'm comparing...

    Their Spicy Apples and Peaches will most likely work for me- but I MUST find This Old House, and I'd love Amish Harvest!

    I haven't been around here in forever, but I'm really really really interested in either someone buying out the business or someone getting some of these duplicated! This Old House, Spicy Apples and Peaches, and Amish Harvest are my 3 must haves. please, Please, PLEASE!?!? I raced to the website after the email, but no luck.

    Hmmm, I'll have to try this one out. I have a sample and I use 464... -Kristi

    I haven't tried zincs in 464. I did use them in Joy though... I've used HTPs and CDs in 464 and REALLY like CDs. -Kristi

    I heat my candle room to just over 70 when I'm pouring... every little thing helps with frosting. :rolleyes2 -Kristi

    464 has additives preblended into it. It has a lower melt point than a pure soy and is much easier to wick. Very much worth testing 10 lbs. -Kristi
  15. logcabinmomma
    I don't use it anymore... I did start with it though. I ended up switching because I couldn't figure out the soy content for it and because they refused to support different batches. Like it was an "if it doesn't work, oh well" kind of thing. No consistency. So no help for you, but I'm really liking GW 464 with CD wicks. -Kristi
