debratant Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I just love this fo...but I can't wick this for nothing in the jar I'm using.I'm trying to wick it in an 8oz sq mason. I'm using 4627 wax. 6% fo and 1 dye chip PP. I've tried CD's...CDN's...HTP's I try to stick with the HTP's since this wick is recommended for this wax. I've gone up to a 126 and it still tunnels.I hate to give up on this fo...I love it that much. Guess I may have to though...darn it. I'm going to try it in Glass Glow tonight for the first time. Might make up a batch of soap tomorrow with it. Obviously I'm desperate to get it in something LOL.Has anyone had any luck with this fo?

TheWickedWick Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I can't help you..don't make candles but you might get more responses if you post this in the "General" Candle making section. Good luck! Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debratant Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 Thanks Karen. Yeah...I was unsure where to post it since it's more a problem with just this FO. I'll post it there instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I imagine you haven't found a solution to the problem. I've left it here even if you've posted elsewhere because I own the FO and have wanted to do something with it. I just don't know what yet. Wondering if I will have the problems wicking it as well in a straight paraffin. Suggestion might be to make wickless out of it for now. There are some fragrances that require a torch just to get a decent flame. TNC's oil of amber was like that. I swore I wouldn't ever wick it again lol.

RichardLOZ Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Hi DebbieWe use this one in glass glow. We pour into an 8 oz metro (status) jar, the medium size one (which I hate). We have had success in this jar using glass glow wicking with a CDN 12. It sure took some testing to get it right though, and am still going through about 4 other scents at the moment with various wick sizes to get those right.I hate the jar, however it is for a different range of ours, which is not country looking at all, so dont have too much choice in the jar selection unfortunately.HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number2of7 Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 This oil is VERY temperamental!! I swear it would burn fine in one room, but not another. If the conditions aren't perfect for this FO, it'll act like a rebellious teenager As much as I loved the oil, we had to let it go...oh, and we were using KY Parasoy with zinc wicks.I think it would be fabulous in soap...especially for men!!
