TallPineCandles Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) I have been messing around now for a couple months with 6006. Ran out the other day so ordered more. In the mean time thought I would pour a couple candles using the 464 I had laying around. Been playing around with ALL the different wicks (except wood). Just got a sample pack of the LX wicks from Lonestar. Thought I would throw one in my container candle to see how it does with the 464. To my surprise it is doing better than I could have hoped. So far at least. The MP is pretty good after a couple hours. The H/T seems to be pretty decent for not letting it cure very long. The C/T was really good. I am using GB 464 soy wax in an 12 oz. Status Jar along with a LX-18 wick (think I might need to step up one size next time). Used 12% F/O of Wild Cherry also from Lonestar. I have my fingers crossed. Also poured a few Scent Shots. They came out great. Wonderful H&C throw. Nice solid tarts. Fill the room great.

Laura C Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Looks like it has a good start. Your labels and products look nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I didn't cross my fingers fast enough it seems. The wick is definitely to small. Burnt itself out after about 3 hours. Going to pull the wick out using my trusty apple corer...lol. Going to go up a couple sizes in the LX and see what happens. And thank you for the compliment on the labels. Always updating them....just need to leave them alone now...hahahaha!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Part of the problem may be the FO. Cherry FO often messes with my wicks. 12% seems a bit high, backing down may improve the burn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
