marty Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I have been trying to wick these 8 oz. tins, with no luck. I use 8 oz. tureens and use 2 RRD40 for these with great results. 8 oz. tins are different. I tried using 2 RRD 40 and the container gets too hot. I have tried HTP 1212 and 126 and ECO 12 and 6. Results were not good. Any suggestions would be appreciated.Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyrn Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I use the 8 oz tins and EZsoy with a CD16 or 60z. I have some fo's that I can use a CD14. I usually always have small hangup on first burn, but it always catches up on the 2nd burn. I haven't tried the ECO wicks yet, that is next.

daniedb Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 SHUT UP! You're successfully SINGLE wicking with a CD14?! That's crazy talk. I'm so jealous, I've been trying to single wick these babies for a month, and I'm still vacillating between an 18 and 20. I must be way overwicking.

Couldn't get it right to save my life. I tried everything everyone suggested that worked "great" for them, same wick,wax,fo,pour temp, don't know, go figure! Good luck!

marty Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 Thanks so much for the suggestions. I will try the CD 14 and 16. I really want to use one wick for the tins, if possible. Again, thanks.Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crafter Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I have been using the 62C's boy I hope that isn't to high. But mine seem to burn really well. I have samples of the LX but haven't tried them as of yet. Christi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Smellies Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 hi,I have been using the eco 12 in my 8oz tins, I'm really happy with the results and so are my testers. I am using the ecosoya cb135 wax.Nicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniedb Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Argh, I wonder if I'm doing something wrong. I did one each of 14, 16, 18 and 20, and the 14 and 16, after four, three-hour burns had about 1/2 inch of hangup on the sides - I *never* got a full MP, and it was just ugly. Even the 18, after 15 hours total, wouldn't catch up on the sides. Huh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Hi all!I was wondering if anyone has a technique for aging the tins? I recently purchased some to try using my ez soy but they are so shiny. I have seen them where they look antiqued and that would be more in keeping with my theme.Thanks for any help.Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candledog Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Are they silver? If so I age my silver stuff by primer spraying it and then sponge painting randomly with a shiney silver, ends up looking like old zinc, a lot of work, but my money at this point is shorter than my time.... Otherwise to age my other stuff, i use a 'cocoa bean' acrilyc paint available at ace hardware stores, really water it down, brush it over the thing to be aged and then seal it with a spray sealer. Works for me, hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
