Most times you can get a range of different candles from 1 pour with the 415. I add CO and most of my 8oz tins are smooth all over but the jars can vary between smooth and lumpy. Just get your heat gun and go over the bad ones the day after.
-
I use straight palm container crystal wax and RRD wicks. Too big a container and you will always have dancing wicks and a blackish rim towards the end. Less burn hours than soy but lovely to look at.

I prefer the 415 and add CO. I never experience cracks which I did with 464. 415 is hard to work with but is a lovely wax and burns well, although it is a bit tempermental.
-
I use it at 5% in GW415 with co and it is a winner, good Ct and HT and wow it is nice
-
I use UV in all my candles but have found orange to be my worse fader and red next. You have to keep these colours way in the shade or out of light.

Unfortunately palm wax in containers does dance around no end, it is normal. The burn should not have a melt pool on the first or second burn as it burns down and then out. It does burn quicker than any other wax in a container but try adding a little coconut oil and it extends the burn time. You won't eliminate the dancing or the huge flame at times but just trim the wick

Sometimes pouring fast does cut down on the air bubbles, I know it is against the rules, but it does work. You have to add stearic or vybar, though

I use a lot of candlewic liquid dyes and the only runny one is the white which is actually a pigment. All the others have the same consistancy. If it is cold they become thicker but hopefully you always shake them very well before use. They mix very well together
-
Just chuck it straight in the wax. I do the same with my EO's

Omg!!!

Lemme see here... you buy 10, ship them back at your expense and they send you ONE free candle, free shipping. They mention NOTHING about sending them to a glass recycler. This tells me that they cannot guarantee the quality of their glassware since they have no idea the conditions to which it has been subjected since it is used. Everything they are saving on carbon footprint by recycling the jars will be lost on the carbon footprint of shipping. Sorry, but this is the kind of "green" marketing that makes me wanna hurl. The only thing "green" about it is that they will be able to reuse and resell their glassware which will raise their profit margin. Sorry, but I gotta give them a green thumbs down.
Vomit material I'm afraid Stella. They make me sick!!!:rolleyes2

Be ready for more increases...as long as hurricanes hit the Gulf and jack up oil prices...and soy is no better. I just heard on the news last nite that when Gustav and Ike came thru LA not only did it knock down the sugar cane crops but the soybean fields were flooded and probably killed the crop. There are a LOT of soybean farms in this state.
Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what next me hearty

-
I like both. Fantastic all of them
-
Cedarwood vanilla is very strong in paraffin, I like the smell
-
We have just been informed that paraffin wax has gone up again (3rd time this year) apparently the demand for paraffin products has gone through the roof. Our prices have doubled. Looks like the cheap chinese candles will flood the market now and we will have no way of competing. :mad: :mad:
-
Thanks all, will get some metal tape and give it a go
-
Try with the same size wicks first, then go down a size
-
Yeah, I make sure they are dry too. Have to wait a lot longer in winter!!!

My guess is the round pillar has a flame that is too large, put it out, trim the wick and relight. You might want to redirect the wick more to the other side as it seems to be burning more on one side.
