sickboy Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Not too bad...They turned out pretty good for my first time every giving them as gifts. I tested them in these containers so many times! I felt like a mad scientist. My family and friends were very HAPPY! The end result is that they all burned great and smelled great with no one burning down their houses.

tlc Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) The wick twists are cute but look like a pain in the hindend to do. You must have lots of patience. Love the red one but I'm partial to that color.What size/type of wicks are those? They look pretty fat to me and probably good for twisting.

sickboy Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) Thank you all for the nice comments. I look at these pictures in comparison to what I’m producing now and think to myself “I can’t believe I gave these as gifts”. I feel with every pour I learn something new or a better way to do this. I find this to be so therapeutic for the soul; I wished I would have done this year’s ago. Too answer your question TLC.“What size/type of wicks are those? They look pretty fat to me and probably good for twisting”.I used C-85 X 2 in the 3’’ Libby because my mind set was to use a cotton core wick for a cleaner burn, I don’t know what I was thinking because I was using IGI 4630. I could not achieve a complete burn with only one so I doubled up but then they were a bet over wicked. I now use one HTP 1312 and Ecosoya container blend with a 9% LO and achieve a full pool with a 1/2’’ deep melt. My test candle’s I got 40 hours of burn time at 3 hour burns each time. I was hoping to get more out of it. I don’t know how chandlers are getting 60 and 70 hours out of a 10 oz candle? My wife has one here that she bought says on the warning label 8oz and 90 hours burn??? WT you know what! Anyways thank you all for the motivating words.
