  1. I am assuming you can use these to burn tarts and not just oil. Is this correct? I think this is what I am going to buy for teacher's gifts this year and then make some clamshell tarts to go with them.
  2. I usually use Keystone because this is the best one I have tried so far. I need to order Cinnamon Rolls from JS and thought about getting a sample of her SPP to try out. Just wondering if anyone else has tried it.
  3. Cinnamon Rolls with Vanilla Frosting Chestnuts and Brown Sugar
  4. When I tested the J223 with 25% soy I used a 51z in the square mason.
  5. My first attempts were not that great. My forever pillar cracked by glass on one side and the rustic pillar I did not pour cold enough. But I had fun!!! I didn't clean the forever pillar up around the glass since I am going to have to remelt anyway.
  6. Here are the very first glow wax candles i made. I only had a one pound sample. But I love the hot throw and the look so i am going to eventually order some more. The picture does no justice for the hot pink one. It is very beautiful in person. I used to LX-16 in the Hot pink one and they were too small.
  7. Those are BREATHTAKING!!!! Everybody here is so talented!!!
  8. I really like those. I enjoyed reading the descriptions. The names are great and the packaging is just perfect. It goes along with your name.
  9. Have you tried the Palm Tree in the Glow Wax? I have tested the Glow Wax and some other palms (not from CS) and I am like you. The glow wax has an awesome throw, sets up really well but the others did not have a very good hot throw and everytime the candle set up after a burn that other palm would have a few holes in the top each time. Forgot, haven't tested the frost palm yet.
  10. Those are cute. She did do a good job on the decorating.
  11. I want some Cotton Candy now. Thanks a lot. Those look very good. Great colors.
  12. Post a pic when you do one. Go for it girl. That is a wonderful romantic idea.
  13. I have only tested one scent with an Eco and it was Birds of Paradise. I used an 8 oz square mason jar, Eco-10, and 8 oz of icicle wax from DPSwax.com and 0.5 oz FO. It is burning well. I can't take a pic because it is at the office but the square mason is three inches across and I have heard on the straight sided you usually need to wick up So a 12 might work. Let us know.
  14. 51z should work. I used a 51z in Comfort blend/soy combo and it worked with these.
  15. Try this link and see if this helps with wicking the GL 70/30 http://greenleaf.invisionzone.com/inviboard/index.php?showtopic=1581 I don't think they mention too much about CD's but it might help anyway.
  16. The shell on the containers usually burns down with subsequent burns, or it did for me especially if you are getting a full melt pool under the shell. I need to order some more Glow wax so i can test some more. I haven't poured a pillar yet.
  17. Those look so real. I want some banana pudding now, Thanks a lot!!!!
  18. That looks good. I love the colors
  19. Nice looking. I love your labels too.
  20. Here are the pictures of Pink Sugar. These are poured with Glass Glow and wicked with (2) LX-16's. The wicks are too small but I had nice flames. You might not be able to see it in the picture but there is a lot of wax left on the sides and I am at the bottom of the container already. It may burn for about 4-5 more hours but not sure. I have only gotten about 17 hours burn time too. But it is not wicked right so that may change. this is an 11 oz tureen and I poured about 8 oz of wax. shouldn't I be getting at least 50-60 hours burn time. The picture does not do the color justice. this is a very hot pink candle. It is gorgeous in the Glow Wax.
  21. You go for it!!! Let us see pics when you make them too. I have some starburst pillar wax but haven't had time to play with it. I bought some molds off ebay the other day and waiting for them to come in.
  22. The only problem I have is that it was a 7 hour burn. I actually did not see it after three to four hours because I had to leave and go to school and the girls at the office continued burning it. I am going to continue burning though. I need to order some more of the glow wax and test some more. I really love this wax and the cold throw is AWESOME. The hot throw is AWESOME but I have only tested two fragrances since I only had a 1 lb sample.
  23. Here are a couple of pictures from my first burn. This one is the glow wax scented Country Berry Hotcakes using (2) HTP-93's. this is after a seven hour first burn. I still have hang up on one side. I thought these were going to be too big for this jar but it looks like I may need to go up one size. but I am going to burn it all the way to the end and see what happens. After all it was my first burn. I do have pics before the burns but they are at home. I did these from my cell phone so I am sorry the pictures aren't of great quality. The Lx 16's are too small. I am actually on my third burn on this one but it is leaving a big shell. but I will continue to burn this one too. I will post pics of that one later. What do you guys think? Kandlekrazy, thanks for posting that site too. I knew there was another one that had it and couldn't remember. I will have to keep them in mind because I only had one small 1 lb sample bag of the glass glow and am now out. I want to test some more so I may buy a five pound bag from them.
