bttrflikiss Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 i have a sample madison jar from www.YesSupplyCo.com and i haven't tried wicking it yet but it don't look to be very tough and the glass is very sturdy with a nice cap, i still have the old J50 and i will try to pour today and test tomorrow if you want the results i'd be more than happy to share, let me know, i'm going back to either IGI4627 or 4630, just trying to use this up as i hate waste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnhorsemom Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I use the 8oz. square mason jars. The glass is thick like any canning jar and I have not had too much trouble wicking. I use a RRD wick for most of my fo's in 100% soy. I do sometimes get a bit of a mushroom but I also get a very clean jar and good mp.

They sent me a lid but no jar. I was kind of bummed. I didn't want to buy a whole case just to see the jar. They are so pretty. I'd like to hear about your testing too.Is there anyplace else that carries these jars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wicked1 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 The jar is nice. Seems to be nice thick glass. The lids do not fit well on them. I was really disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 The jar is nice. Seems to be nice thick glass. The lids do not fit well on them. I was really disappointed. That would be due to the plastic fitment. Maybe they need to get new fitments that fit better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah-soy Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Fillmore Containers carries the 8oz madison and a silver lid that fits it (IMO) very nicely. They sent me a sample jar and lid for the cost of shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillary Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Thanks for the update! I haven't looked at Fillmore for quite a while. They have a lot of new stuff. Price looks good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kari357 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I use the 8oz madison jars from The Jar Store and they are thick enough. I use GB 415 soy and have successfully wicked with RRD-47 and RRD-55 depending on the fo. For some reason didnt have much luck with the RRD-50. Also wicked well with the CD-10 and ECO-8. Wasnt crazy with the HTP's or the zincs. I also use additives and sometimes liquid dye. HTHKari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
