Pomegranate Cider

Butterscotch Pudding

Home Sweet Home

Jack Frost

Snickerdoodle

Spa

I haven't tried the ones you mentioned but I have used and love Vanilla Sugared Shortbread, Pomegranate Cider, Snickerdoodle and Butterscotch Pudding. They all throw great in 6006 and Palm wax. The Pomegranate Cider has been one of my bestsellers in the fall through Christmas for the past 2 years.

I have double wicked those jars a few times using Candlewics container palm and used 2 CSN 9s with good results.

I'm not sure if it makes a difference in the 2 waxes though. 2 CSN 7s may do the trick depending on the FO used

hth

AH/RE has a few good bases. They have a body spray base and also a body spray/room and linen base(the one previously sold by KY)

I also like NGs odor eliminator but the downfall with that one for me is the cloudiness of it and every spray I have made with that one has to be shaken well before each use but it sure does work great and also safe for spraying on pets as long as the right fos are used.

Most stay clear with the AH/RE bases(not all, depends on the fo)

Thanks for bumpin this one up Chandler.

There's alot of great info in this thread. I don't do pillars(although i do want to give it a shot someday soon I hope)

I love love love the look of Feather palm but so far have only done votives and once in a while tarts with this beautiful wax.

Mrs Claus Cookie from NG smells great. Not a super strong throw but a nice sugar cookie scent. Same goes for CS SC......I love the smell but can't get s super strong throw.

I also love MWs....medium strong throw with that one

Mostly 6006 wax for me. I also use Palm but never tried sugar cookie in palm

They are beautiful!!!

Firestarters here too

Depending on the FO used I use a 51 or 60 zinc. (a 60 zinc was used for the heavy oils)

A few times I double wicked with 2 44-24-18 zincs.

hth

I am loving the Butterscotch Pudding....omg the throw is amazing!

I was not impressed with the French Vanilla......I found that to be very weak

I love CW Snickerdoodle but don't smell tea.

It really does not smell like the actual cookie though. I smell a bit of maple in it....and cookie..some cinnamon. It sells well for me around the holidays and throws like a beast

Same here....love CWs SVS.

Another one I just recently baught 8oz of to try was the Butterscotch Pudding....wow!!! super strong throw

The shipping is way high but they do have some really good FOs and I really like the container palm wax they sell

Chocolate is a tough one for me to move also except for AH/RE Hot Chocolate around Christmas when I make the mug candles.

Love Spell and Pink Sugar this time of year I can't keep in stock......they fly

I tested out 2 of them using a 1oz sample of Sugar Corn Pudding (AH/RE) .......6006 wax

51 zinc and eco 2. so far they are both burned about half way down and I think I'm liking the eco better. The zinc burning a bit too high and having to trim more than I like.

sorry I can't post pics....don't have a dig camera and my phone is pooo

They do go great with the pint masons that I usually get from Wally World which I always have good results using a 60 zinc

Great pics Pita!

I'm pretty sure Fillmore will send free samples of what they have and you pay the shipping cost.

How do you place the wicks...diagonally or side by side in the center? Dont understand how i wasnt able to get a full melt pool with two 6s yet it works with 2s for you. What formula do you use in candles? I use the dollar tree jars, 12oz igi6006 wax, and 1/2oz oil. Surely that cant be too much oil causing the soot, right? I dont want to jeopardize the scent throw yet dont like the black build up! I did notice my customers arent trimming wicks properly... if at all so that does play a role in the soot im sure. i just hate being stuck with wicks i cant use and business is so rapid i feels like i domt have a bunch of time to test. Bad, i know but shipping time for new wicks over and over is killing me. I just may end up having to switch jars next jar order.

I place them side by side in the center using wick stickers to keep them in place. A scewer(sp?) at the top with the wicks held tightly to them so the wicks stay even and in place.

6006 wax with 1.5oz fo per pound of wax. Some people use 1oz fo per pound but I find 1.5 works best for me.

44-24-18 zinc works well also and they stay in place better because of the wire in them. Or 44-28-18(I got from NG)

I get eco wicks from Candlescience. They sell sample packs for .99 each. Many suppliers sell sample packs of wicks but just because the eco 2s work well for me it doesn't mean it will for you.

If you have zincs I'd suggest you try those. They do mushroom but they burn cooler and IMO cause less soot than eco wicks.

Also your best bet is to do what Chandlerwicks suggested. Testing seems to be endless. I have been making candles for over 3 years and am just starting to get everything down to a good thing and I'm happy for the most part with my work. A ton of money invested and wasted along the way but it's the name of the game.

HTH

IMO 2 eco 6 is too large a wick to use in 6006 wax. I can't seem to get it to burn right with a single wick in those jars.

I have poured in the square jars from Dollar Tree and will usually use 2 eco 2 and sometimes 2 44-24-18 zinc and have no problems.

My best sellers in Palm wax are Love Spell(from CS) and Pink Sugar(from AH/RE..KY)

Black Cherry from CS kicks butt in palm

Cucumber and Cantalope from AH/RE throws great also

There's tons of good ones out there that work well in palm

no...not so much hard as it is annoying.

And yes I'm grateful for calculaters........I usually have one practically stuck to my butt..can't manage without it lol

Those are really pretty!

Love the bags and your labels...the colors......great job and good luck at the craft show

I do too quietgirl!!

I was just in my Walmart(south Jersey) and found a case of them. Of course I had to snag it lol

I usually buy the Mainstay pint jars from there so they will go nicely with those.

They are cute. I use 6006 wax and as soon as I get a chance I'll start testing on what size wicks to use. Normally I use zinc with this wax but thinking a 51 but have a feeling that may be a bit too big so maybe a 44-32 or a 44-28 which a have a few of. Maybe even an eco 2.......hmmmm

I use the spray base previously sold by KY(from AH/RE) and use the plastic pipettes. I fill to the 3.0ml line of fo per ounce of base and a teeny bit of color. I don't know what the % is on it though.

I think they sell a few different spray bases but that's the only one I get from there and I love it.

wow!! very pretty!

hmmm you know, I just took a whiff of my bottle of CC and I smell grape too now lol

Just noticed I spelled Cotton Candy wrong....at the time I was waiting for my morning coffee to kick in and wasn't paying much attention to spelling lol
