jakalex Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 My first two candles are poured and I have to say they look pretty darn good for a candle pouring virgin! LOL! I guess the true test will be when I burn! I poured the cranberry marmalade in an 8oz sq mason jar with an LX22 wick. I added my fragrance at 160 degrees and poured around 120. The tops are smooth and good glass adhesion. I want to try the Hemp cored wicks. Does anyone else here use those in soy?Here they are....what do you guys think?

mindy5140 Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Those look nice. Hemp wicks tend to mushroom.Mindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geekrunner Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 That was fast! Very nice looking candles! Not to be overly picky but you overfilled the one just a little. Very good work!Now go make more geek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Nice job on those. I would also pour the second one a little lower the next time. You really don't want it that far up in the neck of the jar. It will not give you a true burn until you get it a little further into the jar. Congrats on your first ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hope Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Congratulations on your first candle! Now all your candle spending money will be candle supply money, plus some. BTW, hemp wicks have been discussed a bit, and some of those threads can be brought up with the search function. 'hemp wicks'Happy burning! :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakalex Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 Thanks Shana! I have actually bought a few of your candles back in February. Great product! That was long before I even dreamed of trying to make one myself! Now, after making only a few candles, I am hooked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakalex Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 Thanks alhughes ! Yea I knew I was pouring to high but did not want to waste that little bit of wax! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakalex Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 OK. I am going to wick up to the LX24 in my 8oz sq. mason jars. The LX22 is just not quite getting all the wax in the corners! Will update once I burn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisyd'Light Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 NICE!!! Very NICE!!! Now, take a deep breath.....& Exhale! LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakalex Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 OK. The Lx24 wick seems to be doing well in the 8oz SQ Mason. I also wicked an 8oz jelly jar with an LX20 and it seems to be burning nicely. Yippee! I can't wait to try my new scents that are coming in!

Daisyd'Light Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Has anyone tried the Eco8 in the 8oz square mason? It was a toss between the LX24 and the Eco, I chose Eco. Bad choice? Congrat Jak! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
