Peaks is oos at the moment, and I need more asap !
Any help sure is appreciated
Do we know if its the same as IGI 2322 Palm Wax?
Also, for Peaks Sparkle light, could same wick be used for either wax? ex. I use a cdn 12 for my GG, would it be the same for the Sparkle? I'm thinking it should be very close to the same.
I could try the sparkle if their stock isn't replentished in a day or so.......
Many thanks !

I have used PB for a few years now, and have had NO ISSUES what so ever. I follow manufactures melting instructions, and use cd 16 or 18 depending on FO. I use color, and go at 1oz/lb for FO. Matter of fact, I have a couple of my first pillars that I made still, and they are still looking like they just came out of the mold. Never had cracking or collapsing or blowouts(even with an 8hr burn). I make 3"x4.5 and 3"x10. Burn times are aprox 60-80 hrs for the small and I quit counting the clock after 140 hrs on the 10".

I really like the look of these. Where did you find them? I cant locate them !
-
I also do a second pour. I sometimes try and do the second pour in a different color/scent to change things up a bit, and to "get another scent out there". I've gotten good response from people, so I try and do it when I can
-
There all very nice . What style of jar did you use for the rose?
-
Thanks for the responses everyone.
The scent im working on right now is antique sandlewood from CS. The csn 9 is like a torch. Total of 5 hours burn time almost used up 1/2 the candle.
Im going to try a htp 62, and see how that goes......seems like im running low/out of small testing wicks. I have LOTS of htp 62, so that must be the one I need........ just kidding !
I just got in some cdn 10,12,14 to try with cb-excel, but these will be to big aswell.... lol
-
Ive just tried a csn 11 and a 9, and both are to big still. The 9 is my smallest, so if anyone can suggest something close in a htp or cd, or ?? id be real grateful Thanks !

I have had great luck with LX-14 in the standard 2oz votive.

Those are awesome. Your work is very good

Very nice work there

Those are very nice

Wow, they all look great !

Looking good
I'm about to try this as well. Hope it works out for the both or all of us who try this !
-
They are all very good. If I had to choose, I would have to go with the square.
-
Hard to find enough words to compliment you and your wife with. Fantastic results !!
-
I also use CDN 16 or 18's
What kinda burn times are you getting?
-
Hi
I have great luck with the cd 16's and cd 18 in the PB. On avg, I get 110 and 112 hours burn time respectively on the 3 x 4 1/2", 4 hour test burns (sometimes 5-6) and no hint of blowouts. I mix my fo in at 1oz/lb. I cant answer where to get spooled wicking. hth
-
Possibly, a wire crimper may work.Something for automotive wiring. hth
-
They look great.
-
They look good to me, and a little bit of heatgun/hair dryer will fix the red ones up in a jiffy
-
Maybe put some water in it, and see what temps you can comeup with from it.I dont have a clue what temps they put out, and cant remember seeing anything reported in my manual. hth
-
Your work is awesome, as always !
-
They look very nice.Good job
