jakalex Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Here are three more containers I poured last night. I used the CSN 11 in these. The CSN 12 burned great but wanted to try a smaller wick to test.Yellow~Candlescience~ PeachGreen~Texas Candle Supply~ Tomato Cucmber GardenPurple~ Lavender Cucumber Sage~ My own blend[attach]11220[/attach] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grama Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Those are beautiful Jakalex - you know, I'am beginning to think:wink2: that maybe the hex jars or some kinda jar not smooth or straight might make the prettier candles. What do others think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jami Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I am amazed every time I see more pictures at how vibrant the colors are. I absolutely love the looks of this wax and ordered more myself this weekend to play with. It will be here tomorrow I am going to experiment with other wick types as well to see if I can get it to burn more even without waiting for it to "catch up".I have some jelly jars from walmart. I will see how that palm looks in something that isn't a smooth side.I have several that I poured that I sat aside. I wanted to see what happens if they have some "cure time". The cold throw is absolutely amazing when I take the lid off.Beautiful job AGAIN!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakalex Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 I am going to experiment with other wick types as well to see if I can get it to burn more even without waiting for it to "catch up".Just be careful wicking up because I am wicking down on some of mine because of soot. If the wick is too large and burns to quickly you will definitely get soot! JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grama Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I agree with Jakalex about the wicking - I have wicked down on mine also. Right now I have a - well they call it a 16 oz keepsake jar but its actually about 14 oz cooling and a flower pot. I did try the 14 in it and the 9 in the flower pot. Made it in Black Orchid from Tony's in a purple - love that scent - and it's looking real pretty so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jami Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Well I used the CSN 14 in my 16 oz square mason jars but as its getting to the bottom of the candle, I have alot of wax left on the sides of the jar. There isn't a bigger pretabbed wick. This jar has a 3 1/2 inch diameter so I would think the 14 would have worked well. Is this just the nature of palm? It's not going to clean the jars?I think I have read that RRD and LX will work well with palm wax and those are the wicks I want to try to see if I get better cleaning of the jars.

flightoffancy Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I think I have read that RRD and LX will work well with palm wax and those are the wicks I want to try to see if I get better cleaning of the jars.I'm trying the LX wicks now and they seem to do about the same as the CSNs. The LX 30 seems to do pretty good in my apothecary jars but the flame is HUGE so I'm going to try double wicking over the weekend to see how they burn.

jakalex Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 Burn Update:The CSN 12 is the best wick so far for the 9oz hex 2.75 diameter. The CSN 11 is definitely not large enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharon in PA Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Hi everyone!Well, I finally got my wax, and got it poured (good thing too, cause I think they are SOLD OUT!)Anyway, I did not get the larger crystals showing through, more like a smaller, glitter-y crystal, pretty, but not what I've seen here! I used a lighter green for color as I did a honeydew melon. Not sure if that had anything to do w/ it...I left CS an e-mail w/ my prcedure, I'll see if thay have any recommendations...The thing that I am most curious about now, is the BURN w/ this wax... I poured a 3 1/8" jar, w/ the CSN 14 wick, and the hang up is HUGE! The HT is AWESOME, but I can't see having to wick up any on this jar, I had a BIG flame (too big, IMO) and it had to be trimmed repeatedly to calm it down... even with all that flame, like I said, I had a deep crust left to the one side at the top, and along 3/4 of the jar, too...I did a 3+ hour burn the first time, then a POWER burn the next...I can't get past all that hang up and w/ such a BIG ole flame!BTW: I also poured this w/ one of my CD 12's-no good, it tunneled, same diameter jar...same burn time...:undecided ????
