Daisymay66 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Never used these before but thought I might give them a try. Does anyone use these and could you let me know of any suppliers that sell them? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 The 8 oz flint jar I buy at Aztec actually says 9 oz on the box. I pour 6006 for a wholesale client in these. Don't know if that's what you mean.Aztec Candle and Soap Making Supplies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck_35550 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I buy the 12 oz jars from SKS Bottle and Packaging (find in resource on fragrance page) and get free shipping if over $250.00 order. You can get gold, silver or black lids and the cost averages about 70 cents apiece. The 9 oz jars hold about 7 oz and the 12 oz jars hold 10 oz and are very easy to wick. They can look either rustic or upscale and there are different kinds of lids available for these jars. I find the lug type lids work best for customers, in that they fuss about pulling fitments out and screw ons take too much time. I think these jars use to come from Mexico but now they are mostly Chinese glass. HTHSteve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought 12 oz salsa jars from CS. I have several types of wicks to experiment with but would love input. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 For my parasoy I use cd or cdn wicks. Most fos will take an 18cd and occasionally a 20cd. HTHSteve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grani L Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Hello- I was wondering, does adding soy to paraffin help to "tame the flame"? In other words, have you found that it thins out the wax or does it add more viscosity? I am using 4786 wax with peaks prestige jars. I am testing Zinc wicks, Peaks C Series wicks, lx wicks and CD wicks. I also had my eye on the Salsa jars. Maybe the prestige jars is the reason for the wicking headache.

chuck_35550 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 My wax is 70% soy and 30% paraffin with some coconut oil and other ingredients that have been formulated by the company. It takes a wick that will hold up to the soy and prevent clogging. The wax is creamy white in appearnace and easy to cut. I just don't care for straight soy or straight paraffin for different reasons. I find parasoy is the best of both worlds in terms of cold throw and hot throw, as well as the cosmetic appearance of the candle. You can get a wild crazy flame out of any combination of wax. You're welcome Sidlesup and ask a chemist about the viscosity. HTHSteve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
