Thank you everyone for the kind words and encouragement! Stella~ So how exactly do I get the "heat centered" when I've got the MP going again? Do I try and flip the wick curl the other direction, or twist it somehow? Did I not center it well enough when I poured it? Hmm.... off to play with the search button LOL! I'm happy so many of you like these jars and now have a place to buy them. While it is still glass, they do seem to be pretty sturdy. It was pure beginners luck on my part to find them. I went back to their retail outlet on Wed and wiped them out of C3 for now and picked up a case of smaller/ cheaper 7 oz containers to really experiment with the wax/wick/FO combos for now. I figure smaller jars+ FO with no HT or wrong wick size= less waste of good wax! Down the road when I feel confident, really know what the heck I'm doing and am ready to sell, I'll re-test in those status jars again with the FOs I like working with and offer those as well.
