  1. they were 48 hrs old when I tested them first, then about 4 days after that I gave them to a friend. I used 10% FO sorry for not posting all that at first
  2. I made a couple candles using Aztec pomagrante and lavendar, my tester friend say they didnt have very much of a scent throw. Ant ideaona curing time on these scents, using 6006 in 8oz JJs. tks
  3. was told bt a friend that loves candles and buys tons of them, my candle didnt have much of a scent throw, used axtec FO pomagrante and lavendar, gonna try another FO
  4. net weight? is that with or without the jar? just wondering
  5. 44-36-18 zinc wick worked perfect, gonna try a couple others, testing is gonna be never ending, thats what makes it fun...
  6. is that enough to worry about, or do I need to try another wick? first time with HTP wicks
  7. I do love the creamy appearance of this wax, 6006, it was hard to check for scent cause I am in my little candle room with alot going on, tks for replies and advice, PU
  8. wax pool of 2 inches, 2 1/2 hours, wick is about 1/8 of center,one way, going to let it cool and reburn a little later
  9. after 45 minutes, have a wax pool of 1 1/2 inch, not looking good. Thought it would get to the edges by now. Jar is 2 1/2 inches wide, hope it makes it...later
  10. I have tested with soy 464 and 444, now with 6006, like it so far. With that said I have poured a few candles, 8oz JJ, quilted. Going to test burn tomorrow, used HTP83 wicks. 1.2 and 1.4 oz FO to lb of wax. The thing that I find funny is, I get (3) 8oz candles out of a lb of wax. Sometimes the math is crazy. No repours, had to hit a couple with heat gun, but so far, looks great, nice and smooth.....will let you know tomorrow
  11. how long do you wait to hit it with the heat gun?
  12. I undestand that, I was just making a point about shipping, 100 wicks will fit in one though, call and see what shippings is on them, its $5.20 USPS, believe me I hate USPS, who else can lose 2 billion a quater and keep on going
  13. suppliers need to use the USPS, if it fits it ships box, lol I sent a 5 lb object from Alabama to Washington state for 10.95 today, thats cross country
  14. Shipping is gone completely out of sight. I was looking at a purchase with a vendor today, was gonna test some wax and pick up a few wicks. 10lb slab of wax and 100 wicks, 25.50 in shipping, just for grins I put in a order for 60 lb of wax. 26.50 shipping, what wrong with this picture or is it just me?
  15. so much for that, I am in Wetumpka, lol
  16. where in alabama are you? If close enough maybe we can share some shipping or combine orders for discounts...if you like that is
  17. I have posted this several times in other threads, but here goes. I wanted to use them since they are so close, they are looking for an investor, thats all they would tell me on the phone. So you can takeit for what its worth, I wish they would restock though....
  18. price checking 2 scents lavender and pomagranite prices range from 14.95 20.95 seems peak is the highest any suggestions? using for soy containers, going to try gw 444 or gw415 this time TIA
  19. they are looking for an invester for the business, thats what I was told when I called
  20. the candles are made in Kentucky, at least the ones I saw, oh and China also
  21. I mean about what 2 FOs make another FO, you know,combining 2 or 3 to make another, like vanilla and coffee make XXX or something like that
