  1. 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

    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... :drool: 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

  3. That's good to know. Now I'm really excited! I read that it's comparable to 6006 which I love, but I can't get a 6006 tart (whether mixed with something or not) to last more than five or six hours. I've ordered from people who use 6006 as their don't last long, either. Always trying to find something better :)

    The 3022 is 70% soy, 30% paraffin so it does need a cure time...well worth it tho!

  4. 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

  5. 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.
