jackbenimble Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hi guys! Just wanted to share that I am filling orders today but also testing a new FO called Autumn Pear from LOnestar. Using 464 with a 10oz apothecary jar and two CD-6 wicks and no color. I'll let you know how that CT and HT do. I'll try to take some pics to post too. Have a great day!

SuzyK Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Oooh that sounds like a really good one. I'm interested in how it turns out. I'm testing Blue Cotton Candy today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjdaines Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Would love to see a picture, I've been testing 464 with an 8 oz apothecary (4 inch diameter) and am double wicking with CD5s. The Autumn Pear sounds interesting too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, if I can just find a single wick for the darn container.Good Luck with the test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
