Eco wicks and also CD and LX. Can't seem to find those.

I poured at about 170. They set up well.

Okay I made these yesterday and barely could wait until I burned them. It has been 24 hours, cold throw is awesome with this wax. I poured GL Hawaiin Breeze (yellow one) at 1.5 oz pp and Country Berry Hotcakes at 1.5 oz pp. The wax set up beautifully no repour (I forgot to take a pic before burning) It also colored beautifully, bright brilliant colors. Hot throw was excellent. I had the CBH sitting in my masterbath and it was scenting my bathroom, bedroom and drifting into the living room. I had the HB sitting on my kitchen counter and it was scenting my kitchen and drifting into the den and dining room wasn't a strong powerful headache throw but it was creeping everywhere scenting the rooms nicely. I have an open floorplan. It wicks very easily also. These are the 8 oz square masons with an Eco-8. I am going to try and hold off of burning again for a couple more days and see what it does to the scent throw since it does have 70% soy. So far, I am happy. I have only used para/soy blends that always had about 75% para rather than soy.

Forgot to add, slight hangup with the CBH but that was the first burn so I know it will most likely catch up. Also there is a spot of soot on the CBH one but that was from the lighter not the candle. These are pics right at 3 hours and 10 minutes burn time.

It is 2 cups corn cob to 1 oz FO plus or minus to your taste. Some Fo's require less.

How adorable!!

I love those. Great job.

Man those look real!!!!

You got some good mottling going one. They look great.

I like the color of it. I would like to see a picture of it standing up.

Good job. Those look great. I am waiting on my flowers to come in to try this.

I used the Eco 10 in the Maduro and it seems to be doing okay.

What wick size would you recommend to start testing with on the Comfort Blend. I will most likely mix it with a little soy about 25-30% to cut down on soot. I am going to try it in an 8 oz square mason (3 inch widest diameter)and compare it to the 6006 and the 70/30 from Greenleaf. Should I start with an HTP105 or 126. I also have LX, CD, Performa, and Eco samples too. Just need a starting point.

I poured Brenda's Mulberry in the 70/30 blend. 1.5 oz pp in an 8 oz square mason. I used an Eco-10 and have burned it twice already. It did wonderful except I think I might try an Eco-8 in this FO because the Eco-10 seems to be getting too hot toward the 3 hour mark and the flame is getting too high. I also have mushrooming so I will down the wick size.

Where does everybody get their scenery photos for the hurricanes and how can you tell if it is legal or not to use that photo? Hope that makes sense. I have a stationary maker CD that I found a couple of photos from, I am assuming it is legal to use those. But is it legal to sell something with those photos on them?

I just poured a flowerpot votive using the palm wax and mine worked perfectly. I followed her directions and it released wonderfully. I hope you get it because this does make a beautiful candle. I had the sample of the small crystals which feathers but I want to try the large ones for the granite effect.

Man, you are good!!!!

All of those candles are gorgeous. Great Job!!!

Sorry, I get it now.

I did do the water bath. Donita told me the squares tend to do that. She suggested that the first time I pour the wax out, add more hot wax to keep the sides pushed out. I am going to try it.

This is my 2nd attempt at photo embedding but my very first hurricane with all the correct stuff (wick, mold, etc) I tried to get a picture of it lit but it would not come out. It was beautiful though. The whole thing glowed from bottom to top. I am proud of myself. this is a square hurricane. Pardon the pillow behind it but the background was too white so you couldn't see the actual candle part of it. It was just blending in. Thanks Donita and everybody that has answered my questions on these hurricanes.

I finally got a good pic of the hurricane being lit.

I believe it is 6.5 inches tall if I remember correctly. It is the square hurricane from Peak. My sides are in between 3/8th to 1/2 inch in diameter.

I just made a hurricane. My first attempt with actual wax made for hurricanes (second attempt at embedding a photo). It is cooling now and my two of my sides are curving in. I am using a square hurricane mold from Peak. Does anybody know what causes this? It is making a curved side and pulling away from the mold.

Love those. My MIL collects frogs too. She would love those.

I have poured Baked Apple Pie and Orange Vanilla and of course Maduro again. Orange Vanilla was in 6006 and the other two were in GL perfect blend.

All 8 oz square mason

Maduro-1 oz pp Eco-10 did really well. It was perfect on the scent throw. Not to strong. (you don't want this fo too strong) My father is going to test this one in their house when I get another poured they have a very open and large living room, dining room, and kitchen and I want to see how this baby does in their house.

Baked Apple Pie--1.50 oz pp. This one wasn't as strong as I thought it should but I might have had candle nose. I am going to make another one and give to my friend that loves Apple Pie and get her to test it.

Orange Vanilla--1.25 pp in the 6006. I got a fuel smell bad but I am going to cut back because it was very strong thrower.

Will post more when I get some poured. Overall I am really enjoying Brenda's oils and wax.

I got them from Bittercreek North and I have gotten some Eco-10s from Greenleaf but haven't used the ones from GL yet.
