tonyalkay Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I poured two 4 ounce jelly jars using the greenleaf parasoy blend one with Maduro and one with Coconut Banana Cream Pie from Wix-N-Wix. I colored the Maduro brown and the other yellow. Let me tell you that this wax colored beautifully. I put two drops of brown in the Maduro and 3 drops yellow in the other and I should have only used 2 drops yellow because I was trying to get a pale yellow. Cold throw is amazing. I had a tiny, tiny bit of dip by the wick but probably because I was rushing around but not enough to do a repour. I heated to 180 and poured about 170-175. I put 9% fo and maybe should have used less but I was pouring smaller portions so it is hard to get the 7.5 to 8% I usually use. Anyway, I will post again when I burn. I will burn in my master bath since they are only the 4 oz jellys. Hopefully the picture comes out. If it does, ignore the wax imperfection around the wicks accidentally moved them before they were completely set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyalkay Posted February 5, 2006 Author Share Posted February 5, 2006 Update on the Maduro and the Coco-Banana Pie. 1st burn took a little under 3 hours for the Coco-Banana and about 3.25 hours for the Maduro to reach a FMP on the 4 oz jj. The scent throw was fabulous. The Maduro is burning right now for its second burn and is doing beautifully. I am using HTP 93 in these jars. I am using 9%, (didn't mean to use that much) and I can definitely go down on that %. The Maduro is in my masterbath and is filling the bathroom and my master bedroom. I think that is awesome for the 4 oz jj. I am definitely wanting to get more of this wax and some more FO. The Maduro is a wonderful unique smell. I really cannot describe it but it is definitely different from my florals and bakerys thank goodness. Smells like something a very rich and powerful person would be burning in their house if that makes sense. Anyway, this wax seems so easy to wick. I am going to try and make a bigger candle in my salsa jar today got about 8 oz left of the wax. Thanks Brenda for the wonderful samples.

The_Dallas_Texas_Dean Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I bought a pound of the Maduro and poured about 1.5 ounces straight in an electric Tart Warmer ( Can you tell I really wanted to experience this frag?)HOLY SCHMOLLIE!!! Talk about fragrant! It IS a wonderfully rich and elegant scent that is now in my kitchen, study, hall, entryway and permeating the Master Bedroom LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
