Thanks Everyone for the suggestions, it helps alot. Thanks for the information on Candlescience Jeana,

Thank You for you very much for your response all90w Happy Candle Making.

Kimb and all90w, do you have any problems with frosting either by putting in cold water or placing them in a cold garage? This has me wondering now. I' believe I am going to give it a try.

topofmurrayhill, when I tried the CD-7 for the first time, I trim my wick to 1/2" to start and after the first burn, then I trim the wick to 1/4". Was I suppose to trim it to 1/4" to start with?

Breanna thanks tha's a little more helpful.

I would also like to know if there is a chart that compare wicks, it sure would be helpful.

mystical_angel, thanks for the offer on the CD-7 wick, I found some that I had from wick's wares, I tried the CD-7 and it only burned about 1" out from the wick, major wax hang-up all around the sides, the 7 is way to small, I have some 8's, I'll try them this evening and then go from there. Do you know anything about the LX's? I have a sample pack of them,would any of them work? Thanks again for the offer, I appreicate it.

mystical_angel, I don't have the CD-7, I do have the CD-8, and Eco-6, I might have a sample of the CD-7, I'll try them. now that I have a starting point I should be able to work from there. No I haven't posted on KY's board, Thanks for all the help from everyone.

I was so upset on having a large flame on the votives. dummy me I forgot to mention I was trying to do the flower pot votive, using the pot as the mold. I'm not adding any additives. The diam of the FPV is 2 1/2, I have let them cure for 2 weeks. Thanks for the help

COULD ANYONE HELP? I'm getting ready to try and do some votives again with KY's votive/pillar wax. The first time I did them my flame was very large, no matter what kind of wick I tried. I went up in size, went down in size, the flame was still large, I've tried the HTP, CD, Cotton, Can someone tell me why I'm getting the large flame? also not getting a mp. and no throwI poured at 175, used dye flakes, pumpkin pie FO 1oz per lb, Don't know why I'm having so much problems with flame size.

Kerry, that a great craft suppler for tin plates, have you ordered anything from them, and how is their customer service. I pm you.

I checked out wholesalesuppliesplus, I only saw the gold ones, Fillmore, I don't know if the antique pewter are the same as what BCN calls their rustic plain jj lids. TN antique pewter seems to look the same. THANKS EVERYONE, YOU BEEN A GREAT HELP,

Thanks, I didn't see the postal scales on there, I'll have to look again

Does anyone know where I could find the 8oz rustic plain jelly jar lids that BCN carry, they are out of stock and won't get any until the last of Feb. Sure would appericate any help

would one find a postal scale at? My scale is messing up, I need to break down and you one very soon.

Thaks for the suggestion

NEED SOME HELP PLEASE, Don't have any idea on the colors. Massimo Type Boucheron Heavely Type

YES IT DOES NAYARX8, I use CD wicks from C & S, I have some CD-14's, I'll try them and I have some samples fro MC, I'll try the 62 cotton too. I also have some other wick sample, but I forget who they are from, I'll have to check and see. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH HAVE A GREAT WEAK, NAYARX8

nayarx8, I don't know how to post any pictures, sorry. The jar is kinda squarish with rounded corners and has a glass top lid it's octagon shape with a flower on the top, 16oz. Dollz, Thanks for the suggestion, if I can't get them single wicked, I'll probably end up double wicking. All the scents you use in that conainer take the 2-HTP-83's?

I use Ky pure soy, and dye flakes,Could anyone suggest wich wick I could start with on this jar? I have tried the HTP-1212,1312, I did try and trim the wick to 1/4" but they still dance alot and throw black smoke. I have some samples of performa, paper, LX's, 60 & 62 cotton. I was leaning toward the LX's, Any help at all would be appreciated, Thank You

Kerry, The largest I have tried in the 8oz jj are the HTP-105, CD-12 & 14 my flame dances alot. flame shoots to a high peak with black smoke. The HTP-1212 is too big of a wick for the 8oz jj I thought,. I've been trying to test wal-mart's 16oz victorian jar with the HTP-1212, I got a 3/8" mp, no hang-up, but that was the first burn for it. ( why is it the first burn pretty much always work ) but on the secound I had hang-up around the sides but not a whole lot. it danced alot, no black smoke though, flame was large, not a large mushroom. I'm going to try the HTP-126 in next. I'm getting off track here. Anyway I tried a 51 cotton in another 8oz jj, that has half of jar of wax left with FO-Harvest, the flame was not as small as when I used the HTP-105 & the CD-12 & 14, but the flame is still on the small side. Now I thought what the heck, I'll try going lower in wick size, I'm going to try an ECO0-6. I tried an ECO-8 with FO-Tulip, this is only the third burn for this FO, When I lit it I had a nice flame, but once it got going the flame danced alittle and also black smoke now and then, I didn't let it finish burning, I pulled the wick ( ECO-8 ) out and put an ECO-6 in. I'm getting ready to test it. topofmurrayhill, I think you misunderstood me, but that's not hard to do with me. lol....when I put my words down I think everyone knows what I'm trying to say. But yes, I do flatten out the tops when I change wicks. Lightning Bug, From what you described, your having the same problem I'm having, and I do believe it's the weather that's causing this problem we're all having. I too like the country look of the mason jars, that's why I keep on plugging at it. Have also thought about switching over the apothecary jars, but I don't know how well the double wick would go over and I would have to have them shipped. I get my 8oz jj local, but I wished they had a better varity to choose from. I get so frustrated, I get to a point I want to pull my hair out. Back to testing.

I use KY pure soy, I really shouldn't have said my wicks are drowning out. What's happening is my wick gets smaller the further down it burns. It doesn't drown out. I don't get large mushrooming with it either. If I wick up on some of my FO they start dancing alot and shooting a high peak with black smoke coming from it. Lighting Bug are you mixing palm wax with your soy wax?

I used Sissie's Sugar Cookie-BCS 8oz jj FO 1 1/4oz per lb Dye Flakes, Ivory 3-smidgens per lb BW 1/2oz per lb( can't use more than 1/2oz in the winter b/c my tops crack ) I've used the HTP-105, Got a good throw with 3/8"mp, small mushroom, nice size flame, no black smoke, with a little hang-up. Burned the next day, after burning for 2 hrs I had 1/8" of wax all around the jar, I let it finished burning another 30 mins. it didn't take much of the wax down off the sides. Then I changed to a CD-10, throw was not good and had wax hang-up on one section for the jar, the rest of the jar had 3/8" mp Burned the again the next day, When I first Lite the candle the flame was small, I let it burn another 1/2 hr and the flame still stayed small, so then I stopped it. I'm having this same problem with these other FO Blackcherry Heather Tulip Harvest Dogwood BNB Gingerbread Amaretto I have tried the HTP-104, ECO-8,10,12. CD-8,10,12, I tried going up a wick size, I end up getting a dancing flame that shoots the flame up high with black smoke from it. I go down a wick size, I get the small flame, nothing working. I'm at my witts end, very disappointed in the way things are going. On some of the FO I made another tester using 1oz, I thought that might be my problem. but no the same thing is happening CAN ANY ONE HELP PLEASE!

Thanks Kerry
