chrisasst Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 So I got a sample of 6006 from peaks. Poured a couple 8oz jars one being lavender. Used zinc wicks, and wow it burned great. So I ordered a slab of 6006 from peaks. Poured some with the slabbed wax. One being lavender. Poured these on 9/20 so they have been cured for 10 days. Used the same formula and same zinc wick and I test burned it and I smell very little HT and after 2 1/2 hours the melt pool was not deep at all and left some hang up on first burn...Ughh..

pcbrook Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I am sorry I do not have a solution for you but I feel your pain. It does get very frustrating sometimes. Sometimes I feel like throwing those things through the window but I usually just put it away and try to forget about it for a few days to see if something comes to me that I might be missing.

chrisasst Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 I am hoping it is candle nose but... I also poured a pumpkin souffle the same day as the lavender and I am testing that right now and I can smell that and it is burning correctly (atleast on first burn).. so..

Karen M Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Are you testing 6006 to use, and if so what wax did you previously use? I have been using 6006 with great results, love it, but some oils just do not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen M Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I agree 6006 is better than 415, I just find that some oils are weak, I try to stick with strong kick butt scents that are strong. What oils are you testing and from what companies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
