swan CB 30

[peppermint]

Hi Everyone!

I am testing my 3rd wax Swans CB 30. They are in the same state as me so I figured I really needed to try them. I did a search and only found people using CB3and CB2. I love the look of the wax in the containers. It is very soft and silky and was truly a one pour. The first container I added 1%fragrance oil (buutercream from NG) and got very little hot throw and it took about two hours to get it. The second container I did 2% FO (clean from NG) Still not much of a hot throw. Both candles seem to burn beautiful and even. I used the zinc core for the 2-3inch container. I didn't use any additives either since it said it didn't need any. Has anyone used this wax or have any suggestions.

Thanks All

Suzanne

Happy Easter!

Yes, that's the container wax I use. So far I've always used 1 oz fragrance per pound, and I find that the LX wicks work really well for me. But I've only done 5 or so wicks - I do 9 oz balmorals and they are a pita.

sorry I meant to say I use 1oz in the first and 2oz in the second batch, (not 1% and 2%)I just got done burning a tart I made from the same batch of Buttercream and it smells really good. So it must be that the wick isn't burning hot enough. I can't find the LX wicks on Swans site. What are Balmorals and Pitas?

Balmoral = PITA = Pain In the Ass = http://www.tayloredconcepts.com/apothecary%20glassware.htm
