I didn't care for votives made with astorlite V until I also started mixing with a softer wax. Now it's much easier to work with, better hot and cold throw and easier to wick. I've been mixing mine 1/4 J223 and 3/4 V. Ginger
I personally don't care for Astorlite V...I have trouble finding the right wick. I've been mixing with small amount of container wax and it's working better but I will definitely change waxes when I use up my last two cases.
Jamine is basically the only floral scent I like and it's an all time favorite. Yep, seems like your least favorite is your most popular. Hang in there. Ginger
Thank you for that info...I've never tried that particular zinc but does sound like it would work well. I'm currently testing again...added a smig more container wax and they seem to be burning a little better...I've got my fingers crossed. Ginger
I use astorlite v for votives and I hate it but want to use up what I have. I always use CD-5 or zinc wicks with this wax but it seems that the cd-5 and one of the zincs won't burn good and the other zinc seems a little too hot. Those are the only types of wicks I currently have and I don't want to just order a few wicks due to high shipping prices. I mixed some container wax with it (12oz. astorlite v and 4 oz. container wax) but didn't seem to help. The oils I used was NG Monkey Farts and Strawberry Jam from somewhere. Any advice? What is a good paraffin wax for votives? I hate making votives but alot of people like them. Help me please.
