Golden Brands Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 If you search 464 you will find a ton of information on this.jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzannaC Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 Many of the posts are over a month old... I was really hoping to get some updated information since I see that there were some concerns about it losing throw after burning for awhile. Has it been determined why this happened? I really tried to read everything, I may have missed something so if anyone can fill me in I'd be very appreciative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breanna Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I use the 464 and I have excellent results with Hot/Cold throw,,HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pocha Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I have found that letting candles cure for at least a week seemed to help with my hot scent throw issues. Cold throw is awesome...sometimes too strong!!! Sometimes people sniff my candles and then wince...saying its "too strong"...I have to remind them that it won't smell that strong burning!! HTH.

savedbygrace06 Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Hello,I have just started using the 464 and I absolutely love it. No problems whatsoever. I would recommend it to anyone. I do try to let my candles cure about a week; however during testing, I only cured 48 hours and it was fine.HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzannaC Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 I appreciate your feedback on the 464, thank you! Would you all mind telling me what type wicks you use? I know there was a lot of speculation that it may have been a wicking issue with some of the problems that were being posted, especially the one with the candles losing their scent after burning for awhile. If I'm going to give 464 a try, I'd like to at least get a little wick information from the folks who are doing well with it, it would be a great help to me. Plus, I'll need to make sure I have to right ones on hand to do my testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pocha Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I personally have pretty much settled on CD wicks...But everyone seems to have a different opinion on wick. i would buy a few sample packs and do your own testing (which is what I ended up doing).

creeksidecandles Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Just a quick reply to Pocha's response in her customers saying that when they sniff the candle they say it's too strong. To properly know how a candle will smell, your customers should be smelling the inside of the lid of the container and not the candle itself. This will give them a better judgement of what the candle will smell like when burning. Just giving some suggestions...not trying to offend.

Yes...as a matter of fact...I do tell people to sniff the lid but they usually sniff the candle anyway! I also let them know that the hot throw will not be as strong as the cold throw. Thanks!
