  1. I had upped the FO but had tested it with my papercore 51-32-18 and it was a little weaker flame but full melt pool and has done beautifully. I've been letting them set a minimum of 48 hours (first 24 in cooling in room temp, second 24 they are moved to my storage which is a slightly cooler area.) I was using a 8,10, and 12. I was pretty sure I was being silly using an 8. I will redo the 12 and do a 14 and see how it goes. The square jars are squat so maye it won't get as hot? Oh and they are the German LX coreless. Best part was (as I hoped) they didn't seem to have that stinky burnt smell after they went out! the paper seem to put off an odor
  2. I decided to try a cotton coreless wick in my soy. I bought three sizes (i'm too mad to go find them and list them...i may throw them out the window into the snow...) I made my candles as usual only put these in there to see. They ALL puttered out! I usually use paper core (soy wax GW464) and they always stand up to testing and have a beautiful pool. Are cotton coreless THAT much different??? I tried them in an 8% FO with no dye, 8oz square mason. I didn't really like the kind of shrooming I'd get with the paper and I feel less FO doesn't throw well with this scent (creme brulee from Candles and Supplies) Nice cold, but it putters out quick while burning if it's at 6% (where I started testing, nailed it with 8 and the paper)
  3. Thanks so much for the links!!! I was watching that Nate guy on some network daytime TV today who was talking about trends for 2011 but I had to run out to meet someone and was PO-ed that I missed hot trends! Primitives go really well around here but I've been seeing the off the wall, trendy things going up in sales Much appreciated!!!
