  1. How deep is your MP? Is it getting too deep because of the dblwicking? With my candles, if the wick is too big, the MP gets too deep & the wicks drown. I would also try Vickys recommendation of lowering fO%. It is hard, I'm still testing after a very long 3.5 years. I believe I know more about what not to do, then what to do, LOL!
  2. Puma, Where do you find the time & energy? You devote everything to work, I see that each time I'm there. Can you bottle some of it & give it to me?
  3. OG, I have a little bit left, enough to make a couple of Maxis. I'll stick in the mail, if you want to try it. I had it in paraffin & it was great!
  4. I don't know which dyes are best, but, make sure they have the eye-dropper cap, not the flip-top one. Hard to measure out the drops & horribly messy!
  5. I have the CCL also, I'll put it in wax this weekend too.
  6. Hey , you & I & Puma could go on a scent sniffing tour thru Knoxville!
  7. OG, I think I need to order some, too! If I get it before you, I'll bring to you & Puma52.
  8. Fairway Glass in Ohio has great prices too, they are still redoing their website, but if you call, they can help. Me too, everyone is so willing to help!
  9. They work great! Did you find it at Walmart or one of the candle suppliers with the spigot?
  10. You can also do a search in your state for " Wholesale Glass" they probably have a large minimum, but maybe for later on.
  11. Uh Oh I just added 2 at the end. The initial post was Megandgarrs work!

  13. I feel a new addiction setting in! Such talent!
  14. I've tried other wicks again & again. CSNs work the best for me. I'll keep the Lime Margharita(SP) curing. It's a great scent!
  15. Moonshine, you really have to buy Palm wax. Peak has the best price & shipping on GlassGlow. Sad, Sad Lime Marhg. doesn't throw in it or my paraffin. JCA- really cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
  16. Purple for the royal dragon! Those look awesome! What size jar is that, it's adorable!
  17. OG taught me how to use the 8oz tins, so for now, they work awesome. I didn't know that about the 6oz ones. I'll check that out! I'll stick a couple of Eco12s & 14s in an envelope, so you can try those with your 464. 6% or 7% FO works the best & most of the burns look like those pics, all the way down. I think 415 has better HT, but the burns are what keep me with 464. Plus, the difference in HT is very small.
