Thanks! I'm still in testing mode, but having a blast and learning so much from all of you!

Here are a few more that I have found great CT and HT at 7-8% Peak's French Vanilla Amber-to dye for! CS English Garden-very floral, but nice Black Cherry-blow ya out of the house strong Ocean Breeze Cinnamon Sticks-Fantastic! Hansel and Gretels House-love this one

This is Great! Although what works for one may not work for another. I am opposite on pour temp..I find for me that pouring cool/slightly slushy 100-115 usually 110 gives me the best appearance with the least ammount of frosting. I get a few more wet spots, working on those, however I can live with wet spots. I find that 6%-8% FO gives me fantastic HT on most FO. If not I will not use it. I also have taken Stella's advice and I temper my wax..takes a little longer but works for me, and I don't mind the extra time for a super smooth candle. I prefer the Eco wicks, but also use the CDN's, HTP's, and LX (still testing most all) usually end up with Eco or CDN. Just what I do..HTH!

I hope this worked....my first pics of my container candles. Thanks for looking. What do you all think?

I use the 464, I generally use 6-8%, 8% being my max. I am still testing and have done many tests with this wax. I tried it with 10% and the FO sweated like crazy out of the top, and I found, IMO that the HT was worse. I find it easiest to take one problem out of the equation at a time...less hair pulling in the end. Good Luck with your testing!

Any opinions on their buttered rum and vanilla hazelnut?? I've tried there buttered rum...true to life I think and a strong thrower in 464. I also love the Blueberry Cheesecake! I just ordered a sample of Asian Amber and didn't like it OOB. The Cinnamon Sticks throws like crazy in my 464! I would also be interested on any opinions of the vanilla hazelnut! TIA

I just poured CS Sage and Pomegranate and have to say it was not what I was expecting....but is a great clean scent. Great CT so far......can't wait to burn it!!

I use the 464, love it! Here are some I found that have FANTASTIC HT: CS: Black Cherry, Mac Apple, Cinnamon Sticks, Very Vanilla, Blueberry Cheesecake, Ocean Breeze, Wildberry Mousse, Rain Water, Lavender, Lilac, English Garden, and Hansel and Gretels house. Peak: French Vanilla Amber (fantastic scent) only one so far that was stong enough to me.

So far I have Loved every scent I've tried from Candlescience, and most of those from Peak's.

I'm testing Peak's French Vanilla and Amber now and I LOVE it! Beautiful Scent!

You have to write the net wt. Which I agree is about 7 oz.

Depending on if your jars are the lug, or CT thread Fillmore has both in black. www.fillmorecontainer.com They have lots of choices, and are great people to deal with.

I use jars like that, although I use the black metal twist lids. They really make a very classy candle.

Buttered Rum...I have a friend who LOVES it so I make it, but gives me the worst headache. Still trying out many scents so there is not one that I Wont make yet!!:smiley2:

Newbie and still testing, but will share: Type of Soy or Soy Blend you use? 464 Additives if any? none Preferred dyes? dye chips, but have used liquid Preferred wick (Not sizes)? Eco is my fav, or CSN Pouring temp you recommend? 100* slushy What you do to prevent frosting? working on it, pouring cool helps most of the time. What you do to prevent rough tops? still working on the best for my conditions, usually nice with low pour temp. Do you do anything to prevent wet spots? usually not a problem, make sure container is clean (don't touch inside with fingers), and love them if they show up!

Hi I am new to the forum and am also having this exact issue. I agree with you in describing a mottled appearance. I have spoke to two different suppliers that I order from, one suggested it's a fragrance oil not being blended issue, and the other one said it's a temperature issue. I also have tried pre-heating the jars, pouring slower, pouring cooler, pouring hotter, pouring faster. Nothing is working. I use 464, heat to 185 add 7% FO at 180 and have tried pouring at 115, 120, 135, and 140. I would also greatly appreciate some help with this issue. I thought at one point it was a problem with the wax, may I ask you which supplier you get your was from? I just ordered a new batch of wax and am going to see if that's the problem, because on my first box of wax my candles did not have this problem, so I will let you know what happens.
