yes they, the small interludes do get a little warm with the eco4 but not too bad though as in the caution label you should never handle a hot or lit candle... but I will be ordering e smaller eco wick to slow it down a little. Thank you for the good advice.

Yes they are the square masons and it is the eco14 wicks they seem too work perfect. I just used the CS wick guide.

I am using the eco14 with those and pure 464 and seems to work vary well... It may be a little big but I do get a full melt pool.

I have found I love this wax, at first the only problems I had was frosting on the sides of the containers but not the tops and sink holes around the wicks. I solved most 99% of these doing the following... side frosting reduced to a min by keeping the room temp too and adv. of 80 deg. for 8 hours during and after pour. The sink holes by reducing pour temp to 120 deg. and gives perfect smooth even tops. I have used over 30lbs of this wax so far in containers of small to med large as the small libby interludes too the 12oz interludes and the 8oz masons as well as the 3oz tureen jars. The wicks I have used in those are the eco 4 on the small interlude and eco 14s on the others with great results with FOs load of 1.2oz per lb. the sent throw is amazing cold and hot!!! I sold a few diff. sizes to co workers and they all came back the next day and said that these are the best candles they have ever had from anywhere including the big name brands... wow. and they all said that it smelled up there whole house... one said they cold still smell it the next morning... so now after only using IGI 4630 for a long time I am now only going to use this wax as it seems to perform better and looks better as well with less cost and easier clean up. Just thought I would pass my findings along. Best wishes and Happy candle making.

I am using the GB 464, I do like the look but not for everything... I have tried everything to prevent it. Best I have been able to do is heat the room to 85deg. and still get a little frost. I think I will try the ecosoy advance next. Thanks

They hold about 8oz each... Thanks

Thank you, they burn great with a csn 14 wick. I chose these due to they are heavy thick walled glass made in the USA, bought at DT for a dollar each. I am thinking they should sell well at $9-10 each.... what do you think?

As a thought, it may be safer and easier to use if you add a s picket to the pot so you no longer have to pour out of the presto itself. I have two prestos both with spickets... it only adds about $7 in a valve and fitting. anyone you know that has exp. using a drill and the thread tap and put one on your pots in about 30mins. just my two cents...

I got the bead,jewelry crimper today and works perfect just like a factory crimp. I probably paid too much for it from the craft store at $12 but for what I will save adding tabs to my wicks it is worth it.

Thanks Debbie, i will look for one tomorrow.

Hi all, I trying to find a good tool to use to crimp my wick tabs... as nothing I have found is working too well. Pliers only flat crimp that wont hold and then they dont fit my wick setter tool... Is there a special wick tab crimp tool? if so where can I get one? if not what are you all using to do so? Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello all, I keep forgeting to order a wick trimmer when i order supplies and nail clippers dont seem to do well with large wicks such as the Eco-14... so today i was at wal-mart and was looking for a good substitute wick trimmer... I think i found one, a cuticle nipper... it is angled to cut the wicks horizontal compared to other home items and they are vary sharp. I found a pair for $8 not too bad and seems to do a nice job as well. just thought i would pass my ideas along. Happy candle making

Thank you all for the kind words. I was just looking for something different for the glassglo wax... and think I have found a winner.

no I dont mind sharing my info/data as I hope it helps you and others.. wax heated to 180-185 added color at the 180s added FO at adv 160-170 allowed to cool to 135 while the jars heated to warm to the touch then poured at 135... no cover over candles room temp was adv. 68-73 deg. the color/dyes used in the photo was liquid dyes from CS, but believe that was causing the frost issues. Now am testing using dye chips to try and solve the frost issue... I thank you for the kind words and will post update/findings on the test.

Kim, I believe you are correct as out of the three candles in the photo the only one that did not frost was the pink/ red one as the red liquid dye used was an old cheap one i had from a craft store. The other two where liquid dyes from CS. Today I poured another candle using rediglo dye chips from CS and so far no frost and a better smoother top. I just poured another using the dye chips again and a different FO. So if the liquid dye is the culprit I will know in a day or so and will post the results. Thank you
