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

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

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

I'm really surprised that a 44z wick worked perfect for you, I used 51z wicks in 6006 in 8 oz jj's with 1 oz p.p. and 1.50 oz p.p. of FO.

My JJs were not wide mouth, regular JJs

did it burn to the edges?

net weight? is that with or without the jar? just wondering

44-36-18 zinc wick worked perfect, gonna try a couple others, testing is gonna be never ending, thats what makes it fun...

tks for the advise

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

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

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

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

how long do you wait to hit it with the heat gun?

A slab of wax won't fit in the flat rate boxes unless the suppliers cuts it up - and that would increase their labor costs.

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

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

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?

so much for that, I am in Wetumpka, lol

where in alabama are you? If close enough maybe we can share some shipping or combine orders for discounts...if you like that is

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....

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

they are looking for an invester for the business, thats what I was told when I called

the candles are made in Kentucky, at least the ones I saw, oh and China also

tks for the link

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
