Orange Chiffon Cake

Pink Marshmellow

Green Apple & Pear

Cucumber & Lime

Monkey Toots and

Sugar Cookie Dough Bread

thank you...is that the 44-24 or 44-32?

I would like to try a container paraffin candle (4630) and have LXs and a sample pack of zincs...would appreciate a starting point for either the 8 oz square Mainstay mason jar or the 16oz Mainstay jar, tia!

Those sound really good! How are the tinted balms coming along? ; )

They look amazing!!

We all know how very difficult wicking can be, but I think we might be worryimg a bit too much when testing wickless products.

TY...what wick's do you use with your C3? I use CD but it seems the throw is hit or miss lately. Have you had any wicking issues?

I use CDN's (I buy mine from Funflames) and haven't had any problems...but I haven't bought a case of C3 recently.

Ive been buying C3 from Lonestar for past few years and have never had any problems with the wax or LS...hth.

I use CS too...no off smell whatsoever and they work great.

Hi, I started with CBA, beautiful candle but ht left much to be desired, moved on to GB464 but didnt stay with it long then settled on C3.

I would make 3 tester jars with same fo but with different wicks ie ECO, HTP, CDN...then whichever 'burn' I liked best with that wax is the one I'd go with. Then start testing sizes to jar/fo. For the most part, I prefer CDNs and Premiers.

As far as the one ouncer's...make 2 jj (or whatever container you will be using) testers with different wicks for each fo to start.

For soy, I've gotten great results using 1 ounce fo to 12 ounces of wax...remember to let cure for a week if testing for ht. Hth

I could not find these jars at my Walmart either or online... Could you post what Walmart you got them from So I can call and find out the scoop on where to get them.

El Mirage, AZ

Ive made hundreds of candles over the past few years with Mainstay jars and to date, never had one crack or shatter. I did however, have a Ball jj's bottom seperate fronm the jar when I was melting it down in a pot of boiling water.

I just started Key Lime and it is strong and delicious!!

Key Lime is a great thrower and mixer...love it with Very Vanilla, Clean Cotton, Pink Sugar...the list goes on and on lol!

Same here...Viva works great!

That looks amazing...and delicious : )
