ECOs-Lonestar, Candle Science CDs-Lonestar, Aroma Haven CDNs-Southwest Candle Supply Soy does really well with bakery type scents, the cologne type will take more testing and playing with...hth -
No Hot throw in Cologne type FO
lmc replied to beckemmons's topic in Vegetable Wax & Beeswax Candle Making
When I used 464, in the 16oz mason jars I used ECO14 and had good results. I use C3 now and get great ht using Candle Source's dupe of Be Delicious and Monnlight Path...this is using CDNs and an 8.5% fo load...hth. -
Thanks!
-
Thanks...I have 10's and up on the CDNs...what would be comparable to a CD5 in ECOs or Premiers?
-
I have never double wicked anything and would like a starting point on wicking a 3 1/2" jar (20oz Claussen pickle jar) using C3. I have CDN 10-20, Premiers, sample pack of ECOs...suggestions please! I can single wick it using a CDN20 if that helps with sizing but would like to see the ht difference using a double wicked jar. TIA
-
Lonestar has great customer service....love their Early Sunrise and Ginger Lime, great throwers : )
-
They look and sound great...love your packaging! Almost time to restock ; )

[quote I read on the board about citrus sometimes smelling like fuel when burning, can anyone tell me if this is true on the Fresh Squeezed Oranges and why this might happen? Can't wait to dump a bottle in wax! Gotta go these cute little bottles are calling me to open them up and smell them again...aaahhhh--I may be here all night... LOL To avoid a fuel smell when using citrus based fo's, it's best to add them into wax at a slightly lower temp-175*...hth
-
They're beautiful!
-
Caramel Cheesecake and Orange Chiffon Cake are strong throwers...haven't tried the 3 you listed.
-
Love it!
-
The following work well in C3 and 3022... Blueberry Cheesecake Caramel Cheesecake Pink Sugar Pumpkin Zucchini Bread Cranberry Orange Spice Baked Apples Bear Claws...hth
-
I tested LX, ECO, Premier, and went with CDNs...LX burned well but it mushroomed something fierce even when wicking down.
-
The 3022 is 70% soy, 30% paraffin so it does need a cure time...well worth it tho!
-
I love 3022 and use it for both candles and tarts. Makes a beautiful candle with great ct/ht and the tarts are strong and long lasting. For me, its much cheaper to purchase by the case directly through Clarus...hth
-
Love it, reminds me of our Sonoran skies.
-
AH/RE Dreamcatcher...most beautiful, unique scent I have tried, great ht in melts and candles (soy and soypara) hth.
-
They're gorgeous....especially love the Tuscan Melon & Apricot, impressive!
-
The Candle Source
-
Those look great! Haven't heard of that fragrance but now I'm intrigued!
-
Wow...it's beautiful! Love how you refinished the furniture, looks great
-
Yes, mix it with 415...try a 50/50 blend. For tarts, I personally increase the fo load to 10-12%, but I make for personal use so not concerned with cost. I dont use EO's so cant help there.

That's where the 'all natural' threw me...didn't think it could be so simple.
-
Thanks for the replies...the 'natural wax' and 'coated apples' threw me lol.
