    they are nice, but is my conversion correct? $14 for a 4.25 oz candle? just wondering thats all
  2. putter5775
    using 6006, jar is 2 3/4 wide, burning in 4 hour intervals, tks for the replys
  3. putter5775
    16 oz mason jar, Peak sugar cookie, 1oz FO to 1lb wax, ECO8 wick, overwicked I guess cause it soots up the jar, great OOB and CT and HT. has burned about 24 hours over 3 days. should I go to a ECO2? any suggestions would be appreciated
  4. putter5775
    ECO8 works well with 2 of the FOs I used, the htp83 were overwicked for those 2 FOs. I have 6 more out for testing so far, trying to come up with 12..Thinking of mixing my own 50/50 since a new place opened up close by though.
  5. putter5775
    I have used htp83 and the eco8 while testing with 6006
  6. putter5775
    I am experimenting with them now, found 2 FOs so far and have 6 candles out for testing as I type.

    when you use a cookie cutter, do you just use it like a mold? TIA
  9. putter5775
    J223 and gw464? mix at 66/34%, with new supplier opening up I can lower wax cost. Is it close enough to 70/30?
  10. putter5775
    any word if they are open yet?
  11. putter5775
    I had them laying around, they have the same size diameter, just shorter, from what I read, its all about the diameter, not the height, just wondering, thats why I ask, tks. from what I have read some FOs need alittle extra wicking, thast what I am testing for tks again
  12. putter5775
    can I expect to get the same test results from a 4oz jj as from a 8oz jj? Trying to see what wick works best with some new FOs I just received. I had a problem with over wicking in a 8oz jj, and was interested in this as I had a case of 4oz's laying around. TIA
  13. putter5775
    tks for the answer
  14. putter5775
    what is the hardcore difference between container and votive wax? I mad a couple votives out of 6006 and they seem kinda soft. Just want to know the real difference, tks

    according to another thread, he started the biz and then sold it. Now hes coming back to the biz. I live close, but i will have to pay sales tax, then fuel, I can almost order and have it shipped. But I would get it quicker
  16. putter5775
    what FOs do you use from Aztec? and Alabaster is going to open back up...soon
  17. putter5775
    what wax,containers, and wicks are you using, just wondering
  18. putter5775
    1 hour away and i go that alot anyway, sweet. If nothing else wax cost will be down for me, will try FOs though.....
  19. putter5775
    first, I did pour the wax into a pour pot, I did pour ir like a beer also, I think I will seeif there is a nipple that will give me more of a stream instead of a splash, tks for the advice from everyone........thats why they call it testing I guess......
  20. putter5775
    already poured the candles, When the wax came out of the presto, I let it hit the side of my pour pot as to not let it splash. I built the Presto pot that you put a ball valve in. If it happens again I will post a pic.
  21. putter5775
    used a presto, went really smooth on the build, used it for first time tonite. Got alot of air in my 6006 wax. Guess I have to find some kind od a nipple. How do you get air bubbles out of a pot of wax? TIA
  22. putter5775
    finally I get the FO from Peaks tomorrow, havent made a candle in a dam week, the friend that tested mt candle is out of town, so I cant ask a few questions about the "test" room size, ac or things like that....Also lets the candle I made set up and cure.....
  23. putter5775
    are you saying paraffin is cheaper? I cant find it cheaper, any help would be great...
  24. putter5775
    they were 2 different candles, tks for the tip, I will try the lavendar from them, I got the tip of using the HTP 83 from someone else here on the forum, again tks, figure I let it cure for about 7 days to be safe this time...
  25. putter5775
    I ordered pomagrante from Peaks today and some HTP 83s to test, in a 8 oz JJ what ratio do you believe is enough for 6006?
