Thanks Marcus. I did post that on this board a while back about being able to get these jars from the dollor tree and being able to pick them up with NO shipping. Now that's what I'm talking about. LOL. I'm going to try the cotton wicks I think. I've been using zinc wicks with no problems at all but if the cotton wicks burn cleaner, I would love to try them. I can't wait to see your pictures. I love to see the outcome of everyones products. So, look forward to seeing that. Thanks again for all you info. Keshia

Cool beans! Thanks so much for the GREAT information. I was having a time trying to find the right wick for these jars. So, I guess I will try to double wick. Is there much difference between the zinc and these wicks? I've never tried using the cotton cored wicks. Thanks for any help. Keshia

I couldn't have said it better. GREAT response.

I must say, I don't think we as candlemakers are less harder on ourselves, it just come a point where you must ask yourself is there a such thing as a "perfect" candle. We all, I think strive to make the perfect candle but can we really make THE perfect candle, selling as many scents as some of us sell. :undecided I totally agree with everyone here. I too get a good long burn, good throw, nice flame and I'm satisfied with my candles mushrooms and all. I take great pride in all my candles and pour them with love........ but even my candles have mushrooms and some flickering at times depending. Like racolvin said, mushrooming is just a part of life in the scented candle world. Keshia

melann- I'll keep you updated on the 60z's. Just got them in today. Keshia

The testing I'm doing now are with single wicks. I'm now waiting on more wicks to come so I can try another size before I double wick. I like single wicking alot better then double wicking. So I hope these new wicks works. I've tested (44-20-18z), (51-32-18z). Both burned just ok for me with alittle hang up on the sides. Not very much but I like to get a full meltpool. Keshia

I wash mine also. It's a very important part in my pouring process. It WORKS. Everyone should try it.:highfive: Keshia

What wick do you use with your container? I'm using zinc in mine but the 51's are taking a longer time to burn around the entire container. The 44's are burning better for me. Keshia

This weekend I'm doing alot of testing on a new jar I'm replacing with my other jars in my line. Also, I'm having a candle party on the 8th of next month, so I will be pouring as well. That should be fun. Keshia

You're right about that!

Carol M: The dollar store has really cute jars with NO SHIPPING. That's the best part for me. They hold about 10oz to 11oz depending on how much you want. I'm using 11oz with mine and still have space at the top (very little but some). They're 3" all the way around the jar. Testing burning three now and the scent throw on all are to die for. So far so good. grama:Thanks for telling me that. I'm going to look right now. I was thinking of adhesive covers so that's perfect if they have them. Keshia

With the increase in pricing, how much has shipping cost went up for you? I just ordered and my cost for shipping alone was $27.30. Just curious. Keshia

Yes, indeed SatinDucky! Same thing I was thinking. And no shipping at that. You can't beat it. You're welcome:highfive:

I wanted to add these jars in my line. Does anyone know where I can find plastic lids to fit this jar? It's a votive holder (I have tested one already and it burns great as a regular candle in this jar) but I wanted to make ALL my candles in this jar. The jar square-cut 3" glass candleholders. Square-Cut Glass Votive Holders. Any help will be great appreciated. Smilies Keshia

Yes, with that fast service it makes you want to re-order and re-order.
