    I am using IGI 6006 in a 4" container, using 3 ECO4. I am testing 2 different scents, but they are both drowning. The Frankincense & Myrrh is drowning withing the first 45 minutes. The Cranberry Tea is just slightly drowning. The question is....do I wick up or down? Thanks in advance!

    Hey, Donita, I am testing some pillars with 1274 and 1343 wax and they look the same way. What causes it and how do you correct it?

    Love the wick pins. They are really great after you figure out how to avoid leaks. I couldn't live without them. They are much easier than dealing with the screws and putty.

    I use Avery labels.
  5. Rae
    Yes, flat bottoms on the ones I am trying to label. They just won't stick.

    Mine won't stick to Palm or IGI 1343 and 1274. I haven't tried on the soy yet.

    Thanks for the advice. I am only using the recommended amount of FO which is 3%. I have been burning my candles sometimes 6 hours because I forget them. I guess that could cause the bulging also.

    Donita, I am testing the 1274 now and I agree with you. I am also still testing the 1343 at the same time. I am getting bulging on the 1343. So, would you normally wick down in that case? Thanks in advance for your help.

    Thanks, Vicky. I wiped them with baby wipes, but I guess that was not strong enough. I will try your suggestion. Thanks again!

    I think CS rocks. They have been nothing but great with me over this problem. They have, without a doubt, the best cs in the world. I buy all my supplies from them, with the exception of the dupes that they don't carry. I have a great respect for the team at CS and will continue to be their biggest fan. Thanks for posting the response from CS. I would have missed it when the website went down. AT their advice I ordered a case of 1274 and it is working great. It looks just like 1343 looked before it went to pellets.

    I am trying to stick warning labels on the bottom of my pillars and a lot of them are not sticking. Any suggestions? I wanted to put the label on the skrink wrap, but then the warning would be thrown away with the wrap. Aany suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I have gone through 3 full cases of the 1343a and it was very consistant with the mottling. I loved the wax. CS is still checking the spec with IGI and testing the pellets. I hope they can some how get it back to where it was with the slabs. I just ordered a case of the 1274 and 4625 to try them.

    Talked with Diane at CS today and the answer to 1343 is that it is NOT a mottled wax. It sometimes mottles, but no guarantee it will every time. CS is testing the new pellets now and will get back to me if they have any other results. Diane said IGI 1274 is a mottle wax and transparent. With the 1343 pellets my chunks candles are coming out opaque now instead of transparent. Therefore, I am now going to try 1274 to do my chunks. I will let you know when CS is finished testing the 1343 pellets. Thanks to all of you. Rae

    Just letting it cool on its own. After topping it off and cooling some, then Iwill put it in the freezer to get an easier release. I pour in our basement which is around 77. I do have ceiling fans in my pouring room. Would that make a difference? I did not hear back from CS today. I am hoping they are testing the pellets, so I want to give them until tomorrow and then I will call them.

    It is 1343a. I was pouring at 185, no additives with the slabs. Now with 185, there is no mottling. CS told me to pour it at 200 to make it do its mottling. I thought that was too high, but I tried it. It came out very smooth as if I had added Vybar, which I did not. I used the wax tonight to do the basic rustic candle and they did really good. Maybe I will hear back from CS tomorrow. They were going to get the spec from IGI to make sure nothing changed when they went to pellets. I appreciate all the feedback. You all are great!

    I got two 60 pound bags of pellets from Candle Science. They said IGI is now replacing 2 of their waxes in pellets. I thought it was great at first. It melts faster, but no mottling.

    Thanks, Stella for the label supplier. I am also looking for the barrel jar label. That's a great site. Thanks a lot! Rae

    Has anyone gotten the IGI 1343 in the pellet form yet? If so, are you having any problems? I have used over a half case and no mottling at all. Lots of pin holes and never got that before. Just wondering if anybody else has tried the pellets.

    Grama...how are you doing? I started the Palms after you said how much fun you had with them. I love them. I have all but one of them and CS has 2 containers on the way in with the other one. Which one do you like the best? I think I like the Sunburst...or is it Starburst..the best.

    I have used IGI-6006 for 5 years now and love it. It is a blend and I can use 1.5 ozs per pound on scents. It is a very creamy wax. I would highly recommend it.

    I make pillars with 2 of the Palm Waxes from CS and I do not make poke holes. CS said it was not necessary and I don't have to do a second pour. It's one of the easiest waxes to work with. I love them. Have fun!
  22. Rae
    A must have. I have 4 of them and all with spigots. The spigot makes it so easy to pour directly into your pour pot. I couldn't do without mine. They are also very easy to make.
  23. Rae
    I have used it for 5 years and love it.

    If you bought if from www.shrinkwrapstore.com Jay will answer your questions and help you. I just got mine in last week and had several questions. He was a great help.
  25. Rae
    I have 4 and wouldn't do without them. I chunked my 100lb wax melter for these. You won't be sorry. They are very easy to use and the wax heats up pretty fast.
