Hi Karen, I am thinking of ordering the 7up pound cake and also the apple dumpling, can you tell me if these are long lasting in tarts? I have trouble with bakery oils lasting in my wax melts. Thanks
-
Thank you very much for all your replies x
-
Haha , I will keep an eye out and post back if I find it x
-
When I googled that description it came up with candles from the keeping room? x

Hi, Just Scent have a homespun fragrance, not sure if thats what you are looking for x

Hello, Yep I did order from Connie and her Spiced cranberry was amazing oh and also I loved the plum pudding (both was very strong). I didnt repurchase as I am in the UK and there was not enough oils that I liked to make it economical for me to purchase again. x

Hi all, I am going to be placing an order with Natures Garden, I am in the UK and a few of us ladies are going to share an order Was just wondering if anyone can recommend some kick butt strong fragrances? these will be used to make candles with c3. Thanks x

Hi, I have just got a sample in of community candle Gardenia tuberose and it is lovely, to me this smells just like my gardenia when it is in bloom. x

Thanks for replies. Wow, so different climates can affect wicks as well? I have been doing lots of reading on c3 and lots of people say the cdn14 for my diameter jar, I have tried a cdn14 and it seems far too small, it is still quite cold in the uk at the moment so could could cold weather affect wick sizes? I'm not fussed at the moment about how my candles look, I just want to achieve a safe burning candle with great scent throw Thanks to mulberrysoap who kindly informed me that the coconut oil I have is 76 degree, candle is now made with the coconut oil added.
-
Thanks for help The coconut oil that I have is called ktc.
-
Thanks for your help. I do have coconut oil but have no idea if it is 76*, I have tried looking online and can't find anywhere in uk that sells coconut oil 76*, I have found coconut wax but don't think that's the same thing.
-
Hi, Thanks for advice. Do you have to use any additives for the c3 to use that amount of fragrance? I have read about usa but we can not get that here. I did try an eco14 today and the flame was alot better and bigger than the cdn16 but the wick mushroomed quite alot, this was with mw sweet indian corn at 6%.
-
Hot throw is just ok, not amazing, I was hoping for a stronger hot throw as cold throw is amazing. I only used 6% fragrance, I also tried the cdn16 but flame was still very small.
-
Thanks for help. So far I have tried a cdn14 and it seemed small, the jar is a squat jar (probably about 2 inches of wax) so am I right in thinking that I need to get a full melt pool first burn as the jar is squat? The next step was going to be a cd16?
-
Hi, it's from aztec
-
Hi, thanks for your help. I have cd,cdns, eco and lx. I can not get premier wicks in the uk. The jar is roughly 3 inch wide, it is a squat jar and is roughly 3 inches tall. I will try a cdn 14 to start with, thanks

Thanks for reply Ravens, will have a look and see if I can contact her

Hi, Wondered if there was any c3 users out there? I have managed to get some c3 wax , I am in the UK and so far we have only been able to get the ecosoya waxes but there is a new supplier of c3 here. I want to wick a 3 inch jar and wondered if anyone could give me a rough idea on what wicks and size to start testing with? I did do a search but lots of the info is quite old. Any help is really appreciated
-
Thanks so much for your reply, will make sure I do it like this.

Hi, I am attempting to wick a bowl and I am using triple wicks. Can anyone tell me if I should have all the wicks curling outwards towards the edge of the bowl? I know for double wicking people say to have the wicks curling away from one another so am wondering if this is the same for triple wicking? Thanks
-
Hi , I'm not sure but the temp you added fragrance oil seemed low , I think lots of people add fragrance at about 180 and normally leave them to cure for a few days at least as apparently this can affect hot throw. Obviously this could all be wrong so don't take my word for it

I love community candles one.

I think it's South Africa as well, they also have production facilities in North America and Europe.
