Anne Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Finally made one I like and thought I'd share....I used Crystal Container Palm Wax from Candles and Supplies in PA. Heated to 200 and poured at 180. Was having trouble keeping the wick down so tried pouring just a little to cover the bottom, waited a couple of minutes then poured the rest. I didn't heat the jars they were just at room temp. I used their German Coreless LX30 wick with a jar 3 1/2-4 diameter and am happy with the results. I'm getting the same type burn as I've read about here...digs a little bit of a hole but looked pretty as it burned and it caught up after a couple of hours! Am getting a good throw with 1 oz FO per lb. Used 3 sage green color chips and got a decent color but think I'm going to try liquid color next time for a deeper shade but the feathered look is beautiful and NO wet spots!! It's been burning for 8 hrs. and has burned just close enough to the sides to leave a thin layer on the glass which looks "really pretty" with the light showing through.Newbie ~ Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzanneg Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Wow! that is good! Anne! I couldn't get my LX's to work on any size jar, I ordered both from Candle and supplies too! The cold throw was magnificent but the hot throw you can bearly smell it!I ordered the RRD's and the CSN's and will be testing them in containers this week.I poured 2 votives (Baby Powder scent) put each one in and test burned them,The RRD did the best so I am using them in votives, definitely good hot scent throw!and now I need to test them in containers!Wish me luck!!!!!! Maybe you can rub off on me and mine will do good!!!!!!!!!SuzanneG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
