greenleaf Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Just got around to getting mine poured yesterday with CC Serendipity, and started burning today. A little adhesion problem, not bad though, poured at 140, so will try 150 next time. Excellent cold throw, burned today, excellent hot throw. Poured in widemouth half pint jars and double wicked with HTP73. Good meltpool all the way across in about 3 1/2 hours. I have been a devoted puresoy girl, but am very impressed with this wax, so far. Have enough wax to pour another candle, so will be doing that this week to test one of my lighter FO's. Thank you again Brenda for the sample. Maybe finally a wax that I like that I can get local. You are most welcome. Come in and see us some time. Glad to hear you liked it. Samples will start going again probably on Thursday. Wax is due in Wednesday.ThanksBrenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyalkay Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I poured Brenda's Mulberry in the 70/30 blend. 1.5 oz pp in an 8 oz square mason. I used an Eco-10 and have burned it twice already. It did wonderful except I think I might try an Eco-8 in this FO because the Eco-10 seems to be getting too hot toward the 3 hour mark and the flame is getting too high. I also have mushrooming so I will down the wick size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam W Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I finally poured my sample. I used 12 oz frosted metro jar, HTP 105, poured at 150 degrees, 4 drops of color, Indonesian Teak FO. It looks nice, creamy and smooth. So far the top looks great, but it's not finished cooling so we'll see. I'll test burn tomorrow. Not sure about how this wick size will act, just a starting point I guess. Maybe I should of used HTP 126? Has anyone else had luck with the HTP wicks in this wax? The frosted metro jars are very cool. I recieved them in 3 days after I placed my order. Suzanne,I tried 2 HTP 83s in my 3 1/2" container(Teak) at the mp got way too deep so I ended up with 2 LX 22s and could probably go down to LX 21.I had a little trouble wicking the Maduro in a 3" container and ended up there with the HTP 126. I wasn't getting any throw with the LXs. The burn with the 126 is a little aggressive with big mushroom & should probably wick down one size. (I'm pretty inexperienced with soy & containers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyalkay Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I used the Eco 10 in the Maduro and it seems to be doing okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funnygirl Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I just requested a sample of this, but may just go ahead and order a slab, because I am getting excited with these reviws, LOL! I am wondering.....do you think you could add some steric acid to this and make tarts and votives too? I would love to find 1 good wax that I can use for everything!!! :DHas anyone tried this?????? What do you think Brenda? TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam W Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I used the Eco 10 in the Maduro and it seems to be doing okay.Tonya,thanks for the tip on the wick. I need to order another bottle (bigger:grin2: ) of Maduro since I used up the sample bottle on my 1st tester..and I plan on ordering some of the Eco wicks. I've got almost 2 full slabs of this wax to play with & want to test some of my other 60+ FOs to see how they throw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzanne Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Thanks Pam, yup the HTP105 was to big for me, so I tried the HTP104 and still got soot so I tried 51 cotton wicks with very little soot, and right now I'm testing the ECO wicks, starting with ECO10. I'll see how these ECO's work. Suzanne,I tried 2 HTP 83s in my 3 1/2" container(Teak) at the mp got way too deep so I ended up with 2 LX 22s and could probably go down to LX 21.I had a little trouble wicking the Maduro in a 3" container and ended up there with the HTP 126.

funnygirl Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Thanks so much Brenda! Based on your customer service and the rave reviews I will definatly be purchasing this wax from you. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mei-Mei Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Poured a 16 oz tin and flowerpot votive yesterday, 4 drops of dye, 1.5 oz of Maduro. I didn't mean to use so much FO. Plus, I have one thousand wicks, none of which were the size I wanted to use, so I just wicked with the tin HTP105, which I knew was all wrong. I wicked the flowerpot with ECO 2. I'm having one of those candle weeks.Anyhoo, I'm burning both. Even though the 16oz isn't reaching a full melt pool (of course, how could it with that wick???) the hot throw is incredible. So was the cold throw. This is good stuff. I called Brenda for some wicking recommendations and she recommended double wicking the tin since it's 4" across. So I'm going to try that. So far, I really like the 70/30. Beautiful, creamy appearance, easy to work with, holds color well. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsaycb Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 but now with the addition of par in this blend...how's the soot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam W Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 but now with the addition of par in this blend...how's the soot?don't know how to compare the soot of this wax with other soy waxes since it's my 1st time w/any kinda of soy but I'll take a stab at your ?I'm not getting any soot on 2 jars that are properly wicked, getting some soot on the one jar that I know is overwicked if I don't keep the wick trimmed real short....I'm not going to bother changing this wick cause it's almost burned down.

Suzanne Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 So far the Eco wicks are working the best for me with this wax. No soot and awesome scent throw. FO and wicks are from GL. Lots more testing to do with all her yummy FOs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brat Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I poured my Greenleaf last nite. Got the Peaches & Cream sample. Smooth, creamy, the FO smelled good OOB. I didn't weigh the wax sample, maybe that's my problem. Not getting much throw at all. Wish I would have weighed it to be sure it wasn't more than a pound LOL. I'm using an Eco 8 in a half pint Ball jar, and it's got a pretty deep melt pool (an inch or a bit more), no hangup, and some soot. Thinking I'm going to wick down on this! I have 10 pounds of this wax, so I'm going to try another scent and see if that throws for me. I'm sure the throw issue is my fault though lol.

mizbizzyb Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 :cry2: I just opened my slab that I ordered. I dug and I dug. And I dug some more...I shook the box, I shook again, then I poured out all the peanuts on the floor in my new candle room (new carpet)...but I didn't find any sample FO to try with my wax. I feel sooooooooooo left out. :tiptoe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
