Again, EA does have them - and they have ALL the sizes. The ones I posted came from there - including the lids. They also even have a 4 ounce version.

Well, there is a 51-32-18 Z and a 51-36-18 Z - the latter is just a wee bit hotter. They are very close, but it seems the former is the one more commonly sold.

I've been using 50% of each just because I know its going to start getting freezing cold here. I haven't really ventured too much from 50/50 so I can't say if I prefer that over 25/75. I like a wax that liquifies easily - like CBA, so maybe the 50/50 is what I will stick with all the time.

Thanks Top, thats good to know. I have a slab and hope to give it a try soon.

Trust me, EA is a huge place - and does have them - they have so much stuff that is not on their website. I would just give them a call if you are interested in the glass ones. HTH

I'm sure I've seen some in the gallery here - they have been around for quite a while. If you are concerned with infringement, you may be interested to know that "WOW" is term used by Microsoft as a module in Windows for running "Windows on Windows" (16-bit apps in the 32-bit OS, or now 32-bit apps in 64bit Windows). I'm not a lawyer so don't know if it matters, but I thought I read that some candle companies are patenting even regular names - like Christmas Eve and the like. (Someone will correct me if I'm wrong).

I've never read anything about it interferring with scent. I have read that opacity only starts at 10%, and 5% will help with mold release.

Would this straight, paraffins meltpoint (131F) be too low to use in standard pillars? Thanks.

Early American Candle Supplies has them. They are an east coast distributer for Libbey and AH.

Those look like Libbey Interlude jars - and if so you can get lids for them at many places (they are standard Libbey lids) - for the sizes and part numbers you can get the catalogue here: http://www.libbey.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=67&Itemid=99 HTH

This is great! Thanks for sharing. (Is it really small enough to get through a wick pillar hole easily - even with the hooked end? - seems like mine are so darn small!) EDIT: I actually made something like this out of wire - to wick my silicone molds - but sometimes the wire starts bending - this looks much better.

At that time I was using a paraffin soy blend, FO at 9%. Wax was rated to hold even more than that. I'm sure I was blending it correctly and at the right temp. Maybe I just got a bad bottle then.

Ok, maybe I answered my own question - I just thought of searching on the ez wick multi setters to see how those are spaced. Like this: http://www.candlescience.com/equipment/ez-wick-setter-multi Its obvious they are centering the wicks within the neck diameter, not the jar diameter. This follows the pattern of candles I have seen sold in small craft stores then. However, if anyone has ANY additional hints, such as how fast I want a meltpool, or other things I should look for during testing, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks again.

I've searched on this, but can't find a definitive answer on the one or two threads that show up. Basically, what is the proper way to double wick a container? I have 4" testers I'm ready to wick and would like to know if there is a formula for wick spacing. One thing I've read is to divide the jar in 1/2, then visually place each wick centered in each half. However, the few small craft store candles (obviously made hand-crafted, but professionally done) I've seen double-wicked, place the wicks much closer to each other - in some sort of visual center. Doing the opposite - the even visual split - doesn't seem to take into account the neck of the jar (this would place the flame closer to the glass of the jar neck at the top part of the container). Thanks!

2% is the minimum suggested - so thats what I'll try. (I'm using KY125/115). Thanks!

Thanks Carrie, maybe that is the issue, I'm using the max amount suggested, so my test containers are just giant wetspots.

Has anyone noticed that their PCC from NG leaves like little balls of undisolved FO toward the bottom of the pour pot? This is the only FO I have ever seen this happen wax. (It would be very similar if you tried to get oil and water to mix). I just left those in the pot and was careful not to get them in the candle. I'm going to place an order, but am hesitant to order this again this time around. Any ideas?

Wow Barbara - thanks - thats just what I was looking for! (Thanks also Carol - I did buy some silver ones from BCN last year).

I actually wanted ones LESS piney as I have a couple that fill that need already - thats very helpful though - thank you!

I'm trying to save a bit of money - who isn't? I've narrowed some choices down, but if you have tried these, is any one similar to another? Christmas Splendor Christmas Wassail Christmas Thyme Christmas Cabin Thanks!

Yep - just found this: http://www.maryjanesfarm.com/SimplyMJ/articles/column46.asp (1/2 down the page - I'd probably use a wide jar or container and skip the lights or else use those cold LED-lights - I'd be too nervous to use the regular ones - though I guess that would throw the scent better)

I've seen these on some candles - they are the rust or black prim star or heart "ornaments" - they are usually tied with some sort of "homespun" fabric or raffia around the jar. All the ones I have come across are too large (I've seen these on garlands). BTW, anyone know of where to buy the fabric on line in smaller amounts than by the yard (so you can get samples first)? TIA

I really like the additive I have been using (I just use it really dark-colored soy candles), but its causing my wax to pull away from the jars - almost 100%. Does anyone know, do all the universal soy additives cause this? Does anyone use one that doesn't? And if so, at what percentage? TIA

DW wants some for work so I'm going to try Stone Stew South as suggested. I thought we'd just put it in one of the prim tin plates, but she wants an enclosed container for work. I have seen some of them - those glass globes with a wire mesh cover. (I can see how they would be good if you have cats/dogs too). Trouble is, they are so modern looking. Has anyone come across any prim-type potpourri dishes that have a cover on them? Any other ideas? I was thinking of a wide-mouth mason-type jars decorated a bit, but wouldn't know where to get the covers, and I really don't think those smelly jelly type lids would allow enough scent out. TIA

I played around with blending it with CB135 - with good results for throw. http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15132&page=2#13
