logcabinmomma Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I got some 1 oz FO samples and was looking for containers to stick them into and decided to use my 20 oz tureens (which I could NOT wick well with C-3 and HTPs). I'm using GB 464 and CDs now and I got it RIGHT and am LOVING them now! I used 2 CD 12's and I'm getting FMP at 4 hours, no hangup on the sides and it's not burning too deep around the wick. YIPPEE!!! I wasn't sure what I was gonna do with those containers til now! 2 burns down, but it's looking GREAT!-Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logcabinmomma Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 With the C-3 I was ready to use torches or triple wick, but ended up scrapping them and going to only 8 oz. ugh! I can't believe how much easier 464 is to wick.-Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Bug Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Hi. How is the throw with the double wicking? I recently poured 464 in jj and had to wick way down as it melts so easily...but then, it didn't seem to have much throw and I wondered if it is because the melt pool temp is lower. It was so nice not to have to have a hugh wick to melt the wax but felt it could have smelled stronger. I might try it in the apoth. and double wick if you tell me the throw is good. Thanks.

logcabinmomma Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 I have 4200 sq ft on two floors with an open great room and balcony- candle was burning on the kitchen counter and I could smell it everywhere- even upstairs on the balcony (around the corner and up a floor). I also could smell it outside (but it's a log cabin and a little drafty lol). This would be why I wanted to make this container work lol... BTW, it's BCN's Wildberry Zinger Tea.This was with a 24 hour cure time. I'm thinking it should get even better. I'm still in awe of how easily this burns...Which wicks are you using? I've found that CD's have a great throw with this wax.-Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGirl Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Don't you just love it when all the factors come together like that??Makes we want to do a nice boogie dance when that happens! LOL!Congrats on finding a combo that works! ('Specially when it's with a pesky containers -- that makes it even better) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Bug Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I'm off to try an apoth with 3-4" dia. I like the cds but will have to get some smaller ones. Lowest I have are 10s. I'll try with htps, cottons, ecos or the others I have in smaller sizes. I have the premier's test packet too, and they have so many sizes to chose from. I would like to try the lxs also, but will have to order them in smaller sizes also. As you can see, I have wanted to single wick. So, double wicking, here I come. Thanks for the encouragement!

logcabinmomma Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 I finally sprung for a sampler pack. In the long run it was a GREAT DEAL (compared to buying 100 of the wrong sizes lol). Now when I find just the right one and order it, I refill my sample pack first.-Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
