country creek Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I made some testers yesterday. I have both a 4 oz tin and a 16 oz mason jar burning right now and so far, so good. I have a full mp in the tin and the mason jar is almost there. The one thing that worried me was that this morning they were kinda sunk in the middle a little around the wick. This was par for the course on the bad batch of 1275. The positive thing is that they are not tunneling so I am truly excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 What temp are you pouring at? I was pouring this wax at 170 ... but now I pour at a lower temp (150) and it seems to be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
country creek Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 I usually pour at 165 to 170 but I tried pouring at a lower temp last night and I got a little better result. So that is what I'll keep doing. I do have a full mp on the mason jar so I am happy that I am not having the same results as cleanglow was having with this wax. My fingers are still crossed!!!

Candlebuddy Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Another thing ... I have to pour slow for best results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleanglow Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I'm happy that it's working out for you! I pour cooler too (150-155) but still need to level them off with my heat gun, doesn't bother me though.I called Sherrie and left a message that it seems to be working out now. I also need to pick up some Snowy Pine today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never understand the pouring slow thing but it seems to help.Cleanglow~ I am so glad that yours are doing good now. I think wax has a mind of its own and it works when it wants to.
