Try BNL Olive Blossom from BitterCreek North

Misty, CB135 is the only wax I've use since switching to soy. I really love it. I haven't experience what you are talking about. I don't use any additive except a uv stabilizer w/vanilla's. I use CD wicks and have never had a mushroom problem. I find that 1oz pp of FO is plenty. I pour at 105- 100. What degree are you pouring at?

How depressing . Hope our clients understand what seems to be our inevitable price hike. - That is for those of us who can hang in there. Kathy

Arggg! Yes. Thanks Tereasa. My mother has me do a lot of her "webbing". I should just combine our identities .

Kelsey, Check out this thread from yesterday. It should help clear it up HTH http://www.craftserver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=68489 Kathy

I've heard about using stabilizers, but have never had to. I'll give it a whirl Thank You!! Paige

Wow! Those look amazing. So.........I guess I've just added another project to my list of things to do.

:embarasse Sorry fellow Texan!!

Babean, I primarily use only 8oz tumblers and 16oz apothecary jars. For the 8oz, I use a CD 10 for most of my fo's. I do use a 12 for my vanilla's, cinnamon's and other heavier fo's. For the apoth's, I double wick with 2 10's or 12's for heavier scents. No mushrooming, no torches and great throw.:yay:I must say though, that I don't use dyes, so I think that makes a difference. I think that those who use dyes actually start out w/12's and wick as high as 16 or 18. HTH Edit - I just saw a post on the Scents section and RS said she is getting hang up with the 12 on her vanilla. I've been using the same wicks for a couple of years and don't get any kind of hang up- must be the good ol' West Texas air. So you may want to start w/12's and 14's Kathy (Also, note that I made an error on that post. I meant to say that I get wet spots, but not frosting)

Sabrina, Not sure which type of wax you are using, and I haven't tried Olive Leaf, but BCN has an fo called Olive Blossom (Bubbles N Lights) that's a killer in CB135. HTH Kathy

R.S., I too have trouble w/vanilla's turning my CB135 brown- grrr! It doesn't matter who's vanilla it is. I wonder if anyone else has come across this and had any success. Also, about the wicking question with Very Vanilla, I mostly use 8oz frosted tumblers and 16 oz apoths. For the the tumblers I use a CD12 and for the apoths I double wick w/2 12's. HTH Kathy

Woops! Trying to type and think at the same time. Thanks RS, because that could really be confusing! Should have read "I do get some wet spots, never had frosting". Kathy

I've used CB135 since starting back. I do get some wet spots, never had shrinkage. I think they bother me more that anyone. I get great h/c throw w/CD wicks. I've used Eco wicks and the throw is really good, but most of the time w/the mushrooming, they're torches if I want a decent MP. I have heard that 135 will have a better throw in larger containers. I notice that on some scents and will probably try EzSoy for my smaller jars that won't throw well w/the CB135. But over all I really like the CB135. Well, I guess I didn't answer your question, but w/soy there will always be those wonderful little character flaws we love & hate. Hope you can get it figured out. Keep us posted Kathy

DebK, GB 415 is GoldenBrand's name for their product. HTH Kathy

CD is just another brand of wicks. I don't do tureen, so I wouldn't be much help there. Also, yes...too much fo does affect throw. This is a case of less is better. HTH Kathy
