yyyyyyyeuup!! I'm referring to that one!! My "sequestering" jars... are half full with what looks like gunk which lathers very well btw.. and the other half is clear!!

Of course I imagine when Failor was talking about adding CP... they were very basic bars...

I'll put everything back in the pot, and see what I can do with it!!

Yeah I think that's what happened to mine. I "think" you are suppose to use plain unscented soap. I didn't keep my notes on that batch and have never tried that type of LS again.

Thank you so much everyone!!! I really am pleased with my results. Now... if I can just get my currant batch as nice.....

Has anyone tried Failors recipe for making bubble bath by adding sodium soap????? As far as I can tell... it doesn't work!!!! So it's back to the drawing board for that batch!!!

If you are referring to adding shredded cp soap to a LS batch then, I tried that once, and if I remember right it's not clear but it was usable or at least mine was.

Looks great!! I make LS by the gallons now. Actually I am making a couple of gallons today. My work buys it by the gallon to use in the bathrooms because they like it so much and it's all we use at home unless it's a cp bar soap. Congrats again to you:yay:

Looking good. Bet it smells wonderful

Congrats!!! Looks great. And it's nice and clear:yay:

Got It.

Thanks:highfive:

I am guessing that since you use a CDN14 or 16 in a square mason that a CDN 12 should be a good starting point in a regular 8oz jelly jar

Hi Tara,

As you know I also use GL 70/30 and just finished testing a sample slab of the TN 70/30 (shipping is much cheaper for me also from them since I live in NC). So far this wax is performing exactly the same as the GL 70/30, using the same wicks in my 8 oz. square mason and have not had to change anything. Colors beautifully, burns the same and H/C throw exactly the same.

Getting ready to order a case since it is on sale till the 19th. to test with. Afraid GL is just getting to high with the shipping I have to pay. Shipping is 1/2 the cost for me from TCS.

I use mostly CDN's and also HTP 105 wicks. A few FO's I use Eco's with, but mostly CDN's and HTP 105.

Tested so far with the TN 70/30 in 8 oz. square mason: (Just testing FO's I currently use to compare)

Satsuma (AH/RE) ECO 8 (same as GL 70/30)

Carmel Cinn. Latte (JS) CDN 14 (same as GL 70/30)

Butt Naked (GL) ECO 8 (same)

Strawberry Musk (GL) CDN 16 (same)

Downy Vanilla Lavender (NG) CDN 14 (same)

Vanilla Crunch (AH/RE) CDN 14 (same)

Pink Sugar (Peaks) CDN 14 (same)

Sweet Pea and Me (MC) CDN 14 (same)

Green Tea and Cucumber (GL) HTP 105

Their IS a difference in the way CDN and CD wicks burn. I MUCH prefer the CDN wicks (I only use the ones from SB: by the way Almond Biscotti and Heavenly Cinnabun from them is awesome in GL 70/30 just started burning in TN 70/30 and is exactly the same). CDN 14 with both.

Still more to test, but so far no difference between the two.

I live in the south, so my wick sizes may be one size too small for ones who live in colder climates, I tend to wick a little on the low side, but my jars are clean at the bottom with no to very little soot.

I also use C3 (am currently playing with 464) from CS for my soy only line (colorless): but love the 70/30 for my colored candles.

Really think you should give it a try.

HAPPY TESTING!!!

Wow, thanks for all that info. I plan to just go ahead and order a case as it sounds like I can't go wrong. Plus it's on sale until the 19th. What is SB? I know it's a supplier but I can't place the abbreviation. Thanks again for all that information.

I tested LX, ECO and CD. CD won, hands down. Still got a bit of mushroom, but otherwise terrific burns.

Thanks, I finally heard back from TCS and they also suggested cd's.

That's good to hear. Anyone care to share which wick series they use for this wax? I emailed TCS a couple of days ago but haven't heard back from them as far as a wick series to start with. I currently use Eco and LX's with the GL Blend.

Tennesse Candle Supplies 70/30 wax? Think of trying it. I love GL 70/30wax but it's getting to where I can't afford it. They are having another price increase:sad2: and to have it shipped to me with that increase just doesn't make sense for me to carrying it much longer

I don't know what that one smells like but it looks terrific love the colors you got

I emailed CS and inquired as to when this would be available. It's up on the site now. It's actually a 50/50 blend not a 70/30 blend. It's from IGI...IGI 6036

Very pretty colors. Almost looks like raspberry cheesecake

Looks great to me. I like the picture set up you did

Oh very pretty. I love that nice pink color you got:smiley2:

Looks great. I wish my HP soaps looked like that

Just a thought ..if it's a Levine's defective burner, they will send you replacement parts at n/c to you.

Very nice:)

Love the soap curls and the color! Nice job

Nice job Maryann!!!

Beautiful soaps. Love the color combo

Beautiful Soaps!!!!

1st is Blue Sugar, then Pure Rain (WSP) and Lavender (EO). Thanks for looking

Thanks I re-read and if I would have read it right the first time I would have known that...lol

Very pretty!!
