    My First Original Post is the Jar that Yankee Candle uses for what they call their "Perfect Pillar" I am looking for that jar; for my Candles; But; I can NOT seem; to find that specific Jar for the life of me. Is it a possibility; That Yankee has a Glass Company make this Jar Specifically for them?

    I'm also planning on making; Unscented 7-day prayer candles; once I get a recipe figured out for that type of container. But I'm going to re-purpose them and call them a "Storm Candle" instead... to use for light during power grid outages!

    Is it necessary to prime your wicks or no? I use my own wax blend of IGI 4627 comfort blend (and) IGI 4625 Pillar Blend with equal parts of each wax by weight. which I weigh with a scale before melting of course. I've considered; prime-ing my own wicks; with my custom blend; but that seems like a lot of work if it is un-necessary in most cases. This is for Glass Jar Container candles if it helps.

    I'm close to 70% sure it's probably more dependent on the type of wax you are using than anything else. and most certainly if you use your own wax blend Like I do. I use a blend of IGI 4625 pillar blend (and) IGI 4627 comfort blend in equal parts by weight. Additionally I should add that: Some waxes have more hot throw (when burning) Some waxes have more cold throw (when NOT Burning)

    Sorry; if this is the wrong Section on the forum; I just found this Interesting; I guess NASA did an experiment to see if candles; would be a good source of light in Space; they found that with NO gravity to help create a convection current; That in space the candle flame was spherical instead of tear-drop shaped and the entire mass of wax melted with-in 90-seconds. to 6-Minutes! Below is more info; if you want to read NASA's findings for yourself: https://spaceflightsystems.grc.nasa.gov/cqa/r1.htm

    What FO's tend to give the most trouble with wicking? Is it Scents like Vanilla; that give the most trouble wicking; (or) is it Floral scents; (or) scents like Cinnamon Stick? I'm asking because; I figure; if I can master one of the hardest to wick Scents first; that may give me a good testing point for future batches!!!

    I've considered possibly mixing IGI Pillar Blend; with IGI 4627 Comfort blend in Equal Parts by weight to possibly make this work; I guess the only true way to find out is Test! Test! Test! I suppose...

    Anybody Ever Try IGI 4625 "Pillar Blend" in Containers? If so; what kind of luck did you have? Or would it be "Un-safe" Because of the "Hotter Wicks" needed for the "Higher" melt points? Wouldn't it "increase" the Risk of Jars Shattering?

    I wanted to make a Beeswax Candle for myself. I was Wondering if it would be possible to make a beeswax candle in a 26oz apotheray Jar from Candle Science. the dimenions of the jar are Height 5.5" Inches Diameter 4" Inches When I select Yellow Beeswax on candle Science's Wick Guide it only goes to candles... up to 2.5" Inches in Diameter Any Wick Suggestions for a Starting Point on Beeswax in this Jar?
