Awesome! I'll give them a try. Personally I don't mind the mushroom just snip it off.

Thank you

I'm new to candle making and I'm in the wick testing phase, I'm using IGI 4627 in a short little jelly jar with a 2.5 diameter. I've tried HTP 83 (didn't work) and have now moved on to ECO. I've used 10, (obviously too big) 8 (too Big) 6 (better but flame still too high I think) settled on a 4 but it keeps bending at the tip so I only get half of a melt pool. In every other aspect it's good. Does that mean it's a bit small? Can anyone suggest a wick that won't bend? The HTP did the same thing. I liked the ECO 6 and it did well but I thought the flame was a bit too high after a 4 hour test. Help please.

Thanks in advance

I have never used eo's mainly due to cost but with the money I have spent trying different mint fo that fade over a couple weeks

really I should just make the move to eo

suggestions for a mint FO that sticks in CP? TIA

some allow you to turn it off. I have a My Weigh KD7000 (from oldwillknottscales) and I turned off the auto shutoff. I love the scale and use it for everything (kitchen, candles, soap, mailings).

That's the same scale I have. I feel silly now, I looked at the manual in an attempt to turn off the auto and it wont give me the display I need in order to shut it off. Any suggestions?

Never mind...Finally figured it out, of course like usual the issue was operator error!

Does anyone know of a scale that does not have an auto shut off?

TIA

So I want to give this a try over this weekend and there are a couple questions. Does using light or dark beer make a difference in the final product, and has anyone ever used non alcohol beer if so what kind of result. TIA

It sounds like settling might have occurred.

Why would it settle?

I have a couple batches I made about 4 weeks ago and I know we haven't used as much as is missing out of the bottle or jar. Has anyone experienced this before? What might cause this to happen?

Thank you for responding

Can anyone tell me, is it possible to make lotion with fresh goat milk? I would like to give this a try and just sub milk for water but the make up of milk is different than water so I'm not sure, and the only recipes I have seen use powdered and not fresh. What about the preservative, would I need to change the type or the amount? Is the process any different?

TIA

I just made a small batch of these for the first time 2 days ago. I know they can take a few days to dry so my question is can I place them in a low oven for a bit to dry them out faster? Also can FO that has vanilla in it cause them to get little brown spots?

TIA
