Good Morning All-
I use ky125 wax and am in the process of testing with the 12oz Status Jars. I currently use 8oz square mason jars, but have a request for the status jars which could turn out to be a great opportunity for me. I have read some posts about wicking the status jar with various other waxes and it seems they can be a challenge. I was hoping maybe someone out there has used the KY125 in these and has some suggestions for a starting point for wicking.
Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.

That sounds like a good combination as well.
Thanks

Thanks. Sounds like a definite plan for me.

Thanks. I have been searching and come to the conclusion I most likely will have to mix.
Thanks for that suggestion and I will check them out.

suggestions for mixing. I have someone ask for this fragrance as his wife received a candle in this fragrance as a gift a while ago. Her birthday is next month and he would like to be able to give her the same fragrance if possible.
Thanks

I don't mind. I only have 1 size at this point. I do a 4.25 oz jar and sell for $6.00. No one minds the price at all--they flew off the table at the last Show I did. Some does depend on your area. You may be able to charge a little more than that too.

I have used more than I can mention of Kathy's FO's and there were only a few that I couldn't get a good throw with. I use KY125.
Kathy's oils are great and she has good prices, good service and quick shipping.
Are there any in particular you are looking at trying?

I would love to hear ideas as well-for bases. I have tried a few different things, but havne't come up with anything I like as much or that I could figure out how to incorporate the apricot meal into the ingredients in the right place.

I love that scrub as well. Are you using a base or making from scratch? I would love to make something up similar to that.
Thanks

I have used it since Vickey introduced it and everyone loves it. I do color mine and have not had many issues with a color change. I have had vanillas turn the color before, but once people know it's "okay" it's not a big deal....

I use KY125 and have wonderful success with Lyschel's oils. All I have tested so far I have used less than 1oz pp and had wonderful throw.
The Sea Mist and Sunflower is wonderful and very strong.
Bunchberry & Moss
Mulberry & Moonbeams
Geisha
Brandied Pear
These are all great throwers and fragrances.

Connie is awesome, helpful and goes out of her way to help. I love the fragrances I have been testing. I have a lot and haven't gotten to them all yet.
I use KY125 and so far every FO of Connie's I have tried throws really well in it. The Bayleaf & Pepper is awesome, Amazon teakwood is another great one....
So far, Tangerine Dreams, Watermelon margarita, rosewood valley, cucumber mint, pink pepperberry and orange chocolate truffle are wonderful fragrances.
I have a bunch more to go through.

Hi there-
Does anyone by chance know where to get the terra cotta items to make the terra cotta diffusers? I am looking for little jugs, pendants, etc as car fresheners.
I have been searching, but finding mostly pre made ones or suppliers that carry other types of diffuser supplies.
Thanks

I don't know how the Spiced Apples and Peaches compares, but the Candlesource version is awesome.....
I use a bunch from them. The Tis the Season has already become an awesome seller for me as is the Blue Christmas.

I use a soy/cottonseed blend - KY125

Crossed and knocking. I can so relate as it has been hot and very humid here. Mine just burn differently and it makes it so hard to test.
Glad yours are behaving.

KY125 is a soy/cottonseed blend (this is sold through Rustic Escentuals). I have a wide variety of wicks in my collection. I use mainly CD's and CDN's. I also have HTP's and Cotton wicks. This jar has proven quite the challenge.
