lrbd Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 I know but then when I get to the 8 and 10 I get soot . Can you give me an example of a scent and amount and wick size . maybe I can try one . do you have any tulip, honeysuckle or name one. I have many I can try . I also am burning two with cd8 again to see if I get soot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soy327 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 (edited) Laura, Do you have any CSN's GG OMG were you serious:laugh2::laugh2:actually I was reading on the CS wick selector they don't have 415 but they do have 444, 464, try 2 CSN7's just a hunch. I would say CSN5 but they are not long enough you would have to get spooled. I have been experimenting with a huge 4.5" square victorian jar and the 7's are doing it so far. (but that's with GG)I'm not on crack either YET:laugh2::laugh2: Edited May 12, 2010 by soy327 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I think but could be wrong that the CSN are more for Palm wax and not the 415. I did try them in the 415 and it is no longer around and i can't remember why I abandoned that test. As far as the Glass Glo I have not read enough or know enough about it to even know where to begin but I was ordering the starburst and I thought I would order that too. I just want to get the 415 down at this time it is really making me mad . Though the Flower pot with the CD10 looks pretty good . There is hang up but I think it will catch up . The Mason has more hang up then I would like to see but it has a ways to go before I will be able to tell. Both those wicks are curling just right and have not needed trimming.Its the double wicking that is difficult. Waiting to hear from 8-Grann she uses the same jar and wax .

lrbd Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 i guess i missed what you wanted?sorry that will happen when someone is rambling I guess if you could give me the name of a scent you work with and the amount you use I would try and see if it works for me. I was hoping you had something like I have . Are you working with any flowers FO at this time ? I have a bunch of different Fo hoping we had one in common that I could try.You are the only one that used the same wax and jar as me that I could ask.

soy327 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I might be all wet :laugh2:(it could be worse) but I just took the last of my 415 and your jar wicked with 2 CSN7, Pink Sugar from Peak, 1 red reddi glow chip and I'm waiting for it to cool now. Just feeding my curiousity. Damn I should have something better to do tonight:laugh2::laugh2:but what's better than making candles and experimenting. I'll let you know how it comes out, might have to wipe the mud off my face but maybe not:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you take photos tooPS I just re read your post are you using CD7 or CSN7? Edited May 13, 2010 by lrbd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I don't think so about the CSN7 cause CS considers 2 CSN14 acceptable so I would think CSN7 would be too small.They seem to be recommending CSN for big soy candles. Even the 2 x CSN 14 is pretty big wicking. I would guess they have manual wick trimming in mind.I'm just thinking that to match up a good size and have it self-trim, a wick with a strong chemical treatment like CSN is gonna stand up too straight and not trim clean. I might be wrong, but in the spirit of prediction that's what I've learned to expect. Something small like CSN 7 might curl but I agree it seems too skinny for soy wax. It's way littler than anything you've used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem I am having there is the flames are not coming out true to life in the photos . I don't Have that talent i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soy327 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 O. K. It's made. I will let it cure. Pictures will follow. I know what the wick selector says but that would be a torch. I remember someone saying whatever works in soy wick down one size.:pfor GG. So I went down one jar size instead. Anyway it's all in fun and for a good cause.I've been burning a big apothacary that I explained earlier and it is working in GG, 2 CSN7.Top, Made a starburst last night, Peaks ocean, light blue :yay: going to use a CSN14. It came out nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lrbd Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 (edited) This is where I am . The CD6 way to small. Not at first but then they are. CD7 too small not at first but then they are. I still have one going. The CD8 leave a layer of soot every so many burns and then they look too small. I am pouring 10 lbs of wax today to make 2 candles of Tulip, watermelon, honeysuckle ,heather and lilac. I used 2.3 oz of FO for each 2 pounds of wax That is I beleive a smig over 7%. I am going to let them sit for a couple of days while I and hopefully you all decide what i should try next.I have CD, CDN CSN and some ecos ( not sure of sizes at the moment) on the way . I also have some HTP83 which I think are too small .Thanks guys. Edited May 13, 2010 by lrbd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
