I tried do a search, didn't have any luck. Wanting a scale that weighs in tenths and grams. The lowest that my scale weighs is 1/8oz or ( 2 grams ) would like a scale that would weigh smaller quantity. I have been using the measuring spoons ( dash,pinch,smidgen ) some of my colors are not coming out the same colors, I tried to use a 1/2 smidgen of dye, by just guessing, THAT DOESN'T WORK. Need some suggestions please.

islandgirl, It's only doing it with the sugar cookie & holiday pear. I poured another using 1oz, it's curing now, we'll see what happens latter.

Thanks for all the help from everyone,

Merry Christmas

Thanks everyone

Sueb50, what FO did you use? Thanks for the info.

with the flower pot votives ( as refills ) I used pumpkin pie ( BCS ) 1.25oz per lb, 1-dash of dye,1/2tsp uv. I have used the htp-52,62 I don't get a any kind of a melt pool with them. I have used the htp-83,104,105 they all burn like torches. Does anyone know if any of the cd's would work in them? not getting much of a throw, I have let them cure for 2 weeks.

please help

Thanks Budgie

I found these on connies candle supplies, but was wondering if anyone know where I might find then cheaper than connies which are approx $24 a case.

I have tried the larger wicks and they do the same, I'll try cutting down on the FO to 1oz, I use KY pure soy, not sure how much my wax holds it doesn't say on Ky's site that I can find.

Thanks for the help

Having trouble in wicking sugar cookie from BCS, 8oz jj, FO,1 1/4oz per lb, 1-Dash Ivory, I have tried HTP-104,105, CD-8,10,12, ECO-8,10,12. I get a slow burn, Could anyone tell me why I'm getting a small flame? Do I need to drop down on the amount of FO I'm using.

anyone used their FO? They are having a sale, would like some reviews on them. Appriceiate any thoughts at all.

I use KY pure soy with 1/2oz BW,

I made a mistake on the dia, it's approx. 3", I had tried using a CD-22, it worked good until it burned half way down the jar, then I started getting hang-up, I continued to burn it the next couple of days. each time I burned it, I wasn't getting any mp, It still continued to have hang-up, it wasn't coming down. I tried using the htp-1212, it danced a whole lot, it would also shoot high peaks with black smoke, there were no drafts

It's approx. 2 3/4". Looks like no one use them.

I'm wanting to add a 16oz to my line, anyone use the salsa jar ? Would like some suggestion on what wick works best for you in them?

I have never heard of Gateway. I e-mailed Golden Foods ( Jason ) last week for my samples of wax, I haven't heard from them. Are they not sending out anymore samples.

Kerry, When you do your small repours, Is your jar cool to the touch, just trying to figure when to do the repoure.

I'll keep that in mind, Cynthia

When I first started making candles I had problems with the dyes, it ended up I was using too much per lb, it was clogging up my wick and couldn't get no throw, I wasn't crushing my dyes, I didn't know I was suppose to. Then I orderd a box of KY pure soy, then everything starting working good.

I'll try heating to 180-185, add everything in, let coo to the cloudy stag and pour, I'll let you how they come out,

I'm going to playing around and see if I can come up with a nice red color. and do a few more testers.

Kerry how long after you let your candles set up do you do your repour

I had some problems with my dyes not melting a while back and I had posted on one of the boards, I've forgotten which board it was, someone suggested I up the temp so the dyes would melt better, but not to go over 200. OMG. Most of my candles have pretty smooth tops to them some have what looks like bubbles around the outside edge of the jar. By me over heating too 200, will that have any effect on my candles burning alright. I've been testing every FO, I'm getting very good throws and burning alright, they don't have a burn smell to them.

I know over heating cause the bubbles, I had done that already I had forgot I had my wax melting. the heat had gone up to 205. I think it was you Kaybee23 that responed to my post, on why I have lots of air bubbles.

I guess that accounts for the bubbles around the sides of the jar. I really do appreciate the helps from all of you. I will be heating to 175 and making sure to fold in and not whipping it.

I can add my dye,FO,UV all at the same time, then sir for 3 mins and then let it cool down to the cloudy stage and pour?

Kaybee23 don't you use the KY pure soy?

Thank You

I used KY pure soy 1-lb, with 3-4% of BW,1 & 1/4oz FO per lb. (Dutch Apple Pie ) 1-Dash of Rusty Brown. I heat to 195-200 , pour into the pyrex cup, add my dye and stir for 3 mins. then I let the wax cool to 180-175, add my FO and stir another 3 mins, than let it cool to 97-100 and stir and then pour. Some set up faster than others and I think I'm stirring too much. I think I stirred a little bit too much. I have lots of bubbles on top of the wax. My question is, can it be fixed and how can I fix it ? Is it necessary to stir the wax just before you get ready to pour into your containers? The tops aren't coming out soomth. I'm sure I didn't over heat, b/c I was watching very close to the temp.

Any help would be appricated.

Too many long hrs for me. When I read dragontears post I thought she was suggesting 62 cotton. That's why I thought the 62 was going to be too hot. I WILL GIVE THE HTP-62 OR 52 A TRY. SORRY GIRLS.

THANKS FOR THE HELP

Thanks everyone for the help, I'll give them a call, this way I'll know for sure.

I found them I think, ( RC 83mm CT Lids-White ) But I didn't see any picture showing that they have them. Does that mean they don't carry them anymore or does it mean they are out of stock ?

OK, I new that but I still didn't see that on the website. I'll look again.

Thanks guppygirl

Fillmore doesn't carry the screw on type. They only show the twist on. unless I didn't see them. The place I bought my jars from suggested fillmore, I was wondering if anyone else new of another place that might have them.

Thanks

Thanks, I'snt the 62 going to be too hot for that small of a container thought ? b/c the dia goes down to 2 1/8 " dia. toward the bottom.
