LX 10 ...can't find them!
pcbrook replied to silverRaven's topic in General Candle Making Discussions
I have approximately 75 to 90 in my stash box if you want them. They are from BCN. -
Wow! I don't have any listings on Etsy right now but I was thinking about getting back into it. Now I'm not so sure!

Does anyone else get a little annoyed.....
pcbrook replied to lovelyscents's topic in General Candle Making Discussions
I have never received any boxes with the name of the wax on the outside box. But I don't know if that would bother me so much. I think the UPS or FedEx workers are too busy to care about what kind of wax is coming to my house. Luckily I live out in the country so there are no neighbors close enough to see what is sitting by my door. -
Jars are very hard to find right now. Most suppliers are out of stock and when they do get some in they are snatched up in a few minutes. I hope for all of us chandlers out there it gets better very soon.

CandleScience discontinuing HTP and CSN wicks
pcbrook replied to ErronB's topic in Vegetable Wax & Beeswax Candle Making
CDNs are not even close to CSNs. I don't use them but I have tested them. -
CandleScience discontinuing HTP and CSN wicks
pcbrook replied to ErronB's topic in Vegetable Wax & Beeswax Candle Making
When I tried the RRDs the wicks turned into huge carbon balls. Sometimes so bad the flame would go out. That was at 6% FO. Maybe playing with the FO percentage might help. -

WHAT THE H**L!!!! Thanks a bunch CS! I just went to order some and they are out of stock. I did get some CSN7s. I guess I will have to order from the UK!!!! -
They have some really good fragrances. I use Fraiser Fir, Cracklin' Birch, Farmhouse Christmas, Sweet Grace and I have a few samples I made for testing but letting them cure.

I tried Gooseberry Gardens in palm wax and it was not too bad. It filled up my medium size bedroom but I don't think it would fill up a larger space. It smells just like the name says....a berry scent. I got a sniffie of the River Birch and it smells good OOB but have not put it in wax yet. I never tried the Raspberry Blitz.
-
I saw they have a few new FOs but have not tried them yet. Vanilla Voodoo is good but it's not a hit you in the face FO. More subtle for me in palm wax.

Lonestar favorite F.O.s?
pcbrook replied to CandleRush's topic in Vegetable Wax & Beeswax Candle Making
I never noticed having to wick up on everything from them. There might have been a couple but nothing noticeable. -
I like Tall Grass from Keystone. It used to be a Peak oil. I have to up the percentage a little for the HT but it works. It is not a big seller in my area but the ones that like it really like it.
-
I am still in the process of using up the old ones, but they are now gone. I have to start making candles again next week ans will be using them. I will post my opinion I guess. Lol!

I have this same problem with palm wax candles. I start them out at 1/8 inch and tell all of my customers to trim to 1/8 inch. They work a lot better that way.
