tonyalkay Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I got a sample of the glow wax from Morris wax and also bought samples of icicle palm container, IGI 6010 vege crystal container and starburst pillar wax from Morris's sister company DPSwax. I poured testers using the glow and icicle container palm. I will post pics as soon as I can make my images smaller (working on my laptop right now). I guessed on starting wick size because even with researching I did not find much with the wicks I have. I liked how the glow wax set up a lot better than the icicle. The icicle pulled away from the jars so on my second pour it creeped down the sides of the containers. Glow wax did not. I also made one tester without doing a repour with the glow wax. all were made with 0.5 oz FO to 8 oz wax. With the GLOW WAX I made two testers using 11 oz tureens. One with Pink Sugar from Peak's using (2) LX-16's. One with Country Berry Hotcakes from BCN using (2) HTP 93's. With the icicle container palm I made 3 testersOne in the 11 oz tureen using HTP 93's (2) CBH from BCN. One in an 8 oz square mason using Eco 10 and Birds of Paradise from BCS.One in a 12 oz salsa using (2) HTP 62's. We will see what happens. I will post pics before I burn and while I am burning if I can. I will keep the post updated on these wicks. Does anybody have any input on the size wicks, (sound too big, too small). Tureens are about 3-3/4 inches at widest.Mason is 3 inches from corner to corner12 oz salsa is a little under 3 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Oh man are you havin' fun or what?!! Can't help you with the wicks as I am unfamiliar with them, but it sounds like you have set up the lab for some serious testin'! Can hardly wait to see all the pics!

Candybee Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Would you post a link to morris wax? I have been wanting to try the palm from Candle Science but they have been out of the glow.Can't wait to try this wax myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyalkay Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 www.morriswax.com Also the cold throw is so much better with the glow wax than their icicle container palm. The glow wax set up so much better too. I had craters in the icicle even with a second pour. But this is my first pours on palm so I still got to get the pouring down right. Will post on the burns. Hopefully I can get some pictures first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyalkay Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 Here are a couple of pictures from my first burn. This one is the glow wax scented Country Berry Hotcakes using (2) HTP-93's. this is after a seven hour first burn. I still have hang up on one side. I thought these were going to be too big for this jar but it looks like I may need to go up one size. but I am going to burn it all the way to the end and see what happens. After all it was my first burn. I do have pics before the burns but they are at home. I did these from my cell phone so I am sorry the pictures aren't of great quality. The Lx 16's are too small. I am actually on my third burn on this one but it is leaving a big shell. but I will continue to burn this one too. I will post pics of that one later. What do you guys think?Kandlekrazy, thanks for posting that site too. I knew there was another one that had it and couldn't remember. I will have to keep them in mind because I only had one small 1 lb sample bag of the glass glow and am now out. I want to test some more so I may buy a five pound bag from them.

suzanneg Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 they look good to me!!!!!!!!! I would do a 2nd 3rd and so on burn to see if the hang up will melt too! Mine did but I had very very very little hang up!Your melt pool after cooling down looks awesome! To me it does! Anyone else??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyalkay Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 The only problem I have is that it was a 7 hour burn. I actually did not see it after three to four hours because I had to leave and go to school and the girls at the office continued burning it. I am going to continue burning though. I need to order some more of the glow wax and test some more. I really love this wax and the cold throw is AWESOME. The hot throw is AWESOME but I have only tested two fragrances since I only had a 1 lb sample. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzanneg Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 kandlekrazy I thought the same thing when I poured my first palm container! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyalkay Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 Here are the pictures of Pink Sugar. These are poured with Glass Glow and wicked with (2) LX-16's. The wicks are too small but I had nice flames. You might not be able to see it in the picture but there is a lot of wax left on the sides and I am at the bottom of the container already. It may burn for about 4-5 more hours but not sure. I have only gotten about 17 hours burn time too. But it is not wicked right so that may change. this is an 11 oz tureen and I poured about 8 oz of wax. shouldn't I be getting at least 50-60 hours burn time. The picture does not do the color justice. this is a very hot pink candle. It is gorgeous in the Glow Wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
