islandchandler Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Newbie here -- I am trying my best to make nice candles and found that that CBadvanced is beautiful wax and best of all I can pick it up locally. That being the case, I want to stick with it but find I am spending a small fortune on fragrances that don't seem to work great. I have found a couple from Mill Creek and Peaks that are okay. Any of you use this wax and have found some reliable fo's for it? Any suggestions appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to work on it to get the right pour temp for me though.Fragrances that I have found to work good with it are from www.flickersfragrances.com Apple Jack & PeelAutumn SpiceBaby LotionCucumber MelonChocolate DelightCaramel CloudsCarrot CakeCinnamon StixCinnamon VanillaCucumber MelonFrench LavenderMint ChocolateTea & SugarTuscan Lace (I've only made lotion from this, wonderful!)Vanilla HazelnutVanilla Supreme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindanelson Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I just looked where you are from. I buy my wax and some scents from www.letitshineusa.com also. They are good and strong just like flickersfragrances. They are in Seattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandchandler Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 Linda, that's where I am getting my wax. I am using a pint square mason and a cotton core wick 60-44-18. Maybe it's the wick I am using. Do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindanelson Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I've only done one candle in a pint square mason. I used LX 26 in it. I use LX wick in everything I can. I like them.Go to www.candlescience.com They have a wick guide. I've found that if I start with their suggestions, I usually need to go up a size or two. I hope that made sense.I really love getting stuff from let it shine. My order is here the next day. I can't get from anywhere else that fast. That's going across 2 states, (WA & ID).

iammommytwo Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I just wanted to second the FO's from CandleScienceI also use a few from TheCandleSource, Millcreek, and BittercreekNorth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandchandler Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 I bought several fo samples from Mill Creek and wasn't crazy about several of them. I just ordered the LX sample wicks and a couple of samples of their fo's. You are right about the service from Let it Shine. I have never seen a faster turnaround -- I love that.
