What are you planning on doing from here? Have you been using a different distributor? My concern is the obvious environmental ramifications that I didn't know of, and also, that other distributors will also be discontinuing this. Soy wax from here???

Any updates on wicking the status jars? It's the one I am stuck with after ordering a few cases- currently not sold on the CSN 14 I bought based on CS recommendation- any new ideas? Did the 16 work better??
Thanks!

Hello! I am new, and have found the advice and knowledge of you all on these threads to be so helpful, so thanks!
Anyway- as many of you already know from reading past posts, GG palm wax in status jars are a tough combo! ( Perhaps any wax would be, but I am only using the glass glow for now....) The lack of crystallization on the bottom of candle has been my problem. I read over past posts, and was preheating jars, covering to cool, pouring nice and hot- STILL having the lack of crystals on the bottom. I tried cooling on a rack, counter, in the darn oven- still uneven crystallizing.
We all know the status has a thick glass bottom, and many of you had smartly identified that as being the cause.
SO-
Tonight, before I heated my jar in the oven, I heated up a metal cookie sheet. Then added the jar for a little preheating on the (hot) cookie sheet.
I pulled out the cookie sheet with jar on top, and poured that way. I left the status jar on the hot sheet and covered with a cardboard box. After checking a few minutes later, when normally I would clearly see the wax cooling improperly, I saw crystal formation along the bottom instead!! I hit the sheet with a little heat gun along the base of the jar as a further precaution, and it is looking very good!!
Just thought I would share.
I am using GG from candlescience, and CSN 14 from them as well. I do feel a bit tunell-y with the burn, but as you all know, towards the end it catches up.
Would anyone suggest trying a size up CSN 16 I believe... in the 12 oz status jar?
Thanks and glad to be on the boards!
Hope this tip may help someone else too!

Wow now THAT is counter argument! ; )
Just curious- what ulterior agenda do you believe candlescience would have for ceasing to carry a lucrative product? OR are you implying that they are being served the kool aid and just following along???
Curious is all : )
