Bacon? My hubby would love that one.

I love MC SO&CP. It's heavy on the orange and light on the chili pepper. I've made melts with this fo using 415 with great HT and CT results.

This bowl is approx. 4" diameter and 2 5/8" tall. http://candlesoylutions.com/admin/images/thumbnail_images/YTW24GLBWL.jpg Any starting point suggestions on double wicking this bowl? I will be testing a 70/30 blend of 4627 and 444, no color, just fo. I have some htp, zinc, CD and LX wicks on hand. TIA for any replies or suggestions...

Mulberry from CandleScience...this one is sweet and strong.

CS is one of my main suppliers, I love their oils. For me, their customer service has been very pleasant. I agree with the opinions based on personal experiences of those who claim that Diane along with the other two gentlemen at CS are VERY helpful. However, one day my inquisitive nature regarding wicking must have annoyed Diane, she made me blush over the phone...made me feel stupid...lol...:embarasse Since then, I have not called back but still order from them. I honestly don't believe that Diane had any intentions of offending me. It's out of character for Diane or anyone at CS to be rude or offensive. Forgive, forget, move on.

Scented - Great job...those pillars are nice!

Thanks for your help Carole...I really appreciate it. :highfive:

Hello- For those of you that blend 6006 with added soy, what would be a good starting point for heating and pouring temps with a 50/50 blend of 6006 and 415? I'm assuming this will actually turn out to be a be an approximate 70 soy/30 paraffin blend. I will be using a 3 1/8" diam jar, no dye, no other additives, at approx 6-8% fo. The only wicks I have at this time to test with are CD's and some 60-44-18 and 62-52-18 cottons. Would a CD 12 be a good starting point with this wax combo? Any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated...TIA

I've used gb415 for tarts (poured into liners) with great results. However, now that I've decided to used clamshells along with a variety of molds, I will be using KY's tart wax. Have fun!

hmmm...interested to hear of anyones experiences with this. TIA

Hi Karen - I've done 415 tarts, poured into liners. I love the throw both hot and cold that I get with this wax. However, I never could get used to the powdery residue characteristic that comes with the pure soy territory. I'm sure I'll be more tolerant of the dimples over dryness. WickedWick and Barbara - Thanks for the tip. When I get my tart wax I'll try adding some soy to it to help with the dimples. Sounds like adding 20% more soy will make it an approximate 80 soy/20 paraffin ratio.

Can anyone share with me (and others) what those bad batch 6006 #'s are? One would think that suppliers would not still be selling those bad batch # cases. I'm looking into trying the 6006. I understand that some of you are making a 50/50 blend of 6006 and EZ soy. If the 6006 is an 80 paraffin/20 soy blend, would a 50/50 blend of 6006/EZ be a 70 soy/30 paraffin blend? Also, is EZ soy the same as gb415? Sorry for all the questions...(refraining from asking even more)... :tiptoe:

Does anyone know if KY's tart wax has more paraffin than soy or vise versa?...Not that it matters...just curious. Vickey's tart wax sounds pretty good, I'm looking forward to trying it out. ETA: Thanks for all the replies, you all have been very helpful...thanks!

CS blackberry marmalade is a nice scent, unfortunately, it was too light for my liking (used it in 415). Peak has an awesome blackberry sage...nice and strong in 415.

For those of you that make palm tarts, are you using starburst or feathering palm?
