THANKS ! I appreciate it

Can someone tell me if you use these wicks? Do you like them? I want to use 2 wicks in a 3" diameter jar, what size would you recommend? I use Naturewax. I am looking for the A & P cottons. Thank you

Does anyone use this wax From Cargill ? If you do use this wax, Do you ever add additives to this wax? Thanks

Can someone lead me in the right direction??!! I am looking for "unbleached natural cotton wicks." When someone says they use this type of wick, does someone know which wick that would be.. I know they are not HEMP wicks... they do not look the same.. They seem to be round (not square) Thank you Willow

Can anyone give me a idea of where to look? When you see that a candle is made with a unbleached natural cotton wick.. what wick they may be talking about? I do not think it is the Hemp wick. It is a round wick ... hmm I would appreciate any info. Thanks Willow

Double checking to make sure I am understanding this right... Ok I am making 2 (4oz) tins... I have weighted them and the liquid weight that will fit into the tins is 3.2 (each one) So a total of 6.4 oz Now I want to make my candles 7% load, Using 2 different waxes one at 80% and one at 20%, I am adding 3% BW... Ok this is what I came up with 4.61 oz of 1st wax (80%) 1.15 oz 2nd wax (20%) .44 oz FO (7%) .2 oz BW (3% ___________ 6.4 oz total weight IS THIS RIGHT THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR HELP.....

THANK YOU VERY MUCH EVERYONE>>>> I AM GOING TO DO THIS METHOD TODAY.. Have a great weekend

top, Do I always divide by .89... like you said a 16 oz candle would be 17.98 wax for starters...??? This is what I did earlier I was going to figure 1 Lb of wax (doing 5- 4oz tins) anyway I wanted 8% Fo load, and 3% BW (skipped the additive this time) So I tared the scale and measured out .48 oz of BW, and added to that until I got 16 oz of wax...when wax was melted I added 1.3 oz fo hmmm wonder if I did it right??!!!! Betcha I didnt' .. anyway I am printing out all the info.. so I can study it:D The tins hold 3.2 oz of liquid... so if I took that x 5 (for the 5 tins I want to fill) so it would be 16 oz.. So I think I would subtract the fo and Bw % from there.... so lets see 8% Fo would be 1.25 , the Bw would be 3 % at .48.. so subtract all those from 16 oz and I would actually use 14.27 oz of wax IS THAT CORRECT?? THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!!!

Juggy, Are you having luck with the J223 added to ez soy? Do you get rough tops after the first burn with the J223 added to it? I am using Ez Soy but am thinking of adding a paraffin to it.. Thanks

Ok I am very confused here. I have done alot of searches for this and it is not sinking into my brain. If I want to use 1 LB of wax, I want my candles to be at 7% Fo load, but I also want to add lets say 3% BW and 1 tsp additive also..HOW do I figure out all the amounts of each ingredient to add...???? Such as how do I figure out how much BW to add, additive to add, and the Fo???? I APPRECIATE HELP

Stella, THANK YOU SO MUCH.. I really appreciate all your time into that response. I am going to print it out. You have a wealth of information. Have a great day

STELLA, DO YOU HAVE A HELPFUL HINT ON ELIMINATING BUBBLES IN THIS WAX? When I burn the wax bubbles are popping up everywhere and they stay on the top, moving over to the side of the jar... I like the wax but not the bubbles... Do you add anything ?? I tried 1 TBS of BW per pound and that did not help? Thanks

Arlene, I am very new to this so I would not want to mislead you in any way. Call Peaks -- they are awesome there and they will for sure help you. They sell both wicks so they can give you wonderful advise. Thanks and sorry not to much help

Wow, Yes I guess you are right.. I have been working with many different wicks and just can't find the perfect wick. I do like the RRD and Cotton core (from Peaks) I would rather put up with the shrooms than the curling. It's one or the other. Glad to know I am not the only one:grin2:

I think the HTP's curl to much. Have you all had a problem with them, or is it just me...I am looking more for a wick that burns straight. That is why I like the RRD's and Cotton core (from peaks.) So far I have tried the LX, CD, Hemp, Performa, HTP, RRD, Cotton Core, hmmmm I am sure there are more but am not thinking of any... Geez the darn wicks hehehhe. I am using the Ez Soy.
