This one's OK to me... it's too soft for me, I like in my face fruity. The peppermint is a tad confusing to my nose though! This is one that even though I've tested it, I'm not sure that I like it. My SIL does though... she's a "pink" person who loves flamingoes and such and I made her a pink Island Christmas for Christmas. -Kristi

CD 12's are perfect with my GW 464. All catches up with no problem, double wicked. -Kristi

They have csn-16s on the site now, pretabbed. -Kristi

Tell them it's like fine wine or cheese, the older and the more "stuff" around the outside, the better the bouquet lol... call it a well aged candle. -Kristi

Thanks! I'll be looking forward to people testing the limits of this! A natural wax that doesn't need wicked the heck out of and throws like a hall of famer.... I'll be sitting on the edge of my seat! -Kristi

Good GRIEF!!! C&S is EXPENSIVE on that one! Holy moly! -Kristi

How does this compare to Wildberry Zinger Tea? I really like that one, but am trying to stay with fewer companies and not use Bittercreek... -Kristi

After hearing everyone say how much they had to wick down vs soy, I think a single wicked apoth would be an excellent test of this wax! -Kristi

OK, I'm totally intrigued... it has a higher melt point than the soys, but needs wicked down vs soy? It needs no cure time and doesn't frost, but crystalizes really cool on the glass... and with the higher melt point will probably retain fragrance better, right? For those who have tried it- can an apothocary jar be single wicked with this wax without burning too deep before reaching the sides??? Does the melt pool recrystalize upon rehardening? Please!!! Someone single wick an apoth for me!!! I'm living vicariously through you (while making my list for CandleScience....) -Kristi

Looks wonderful! Do you think that you could get a good burn single wicking an apothocary jar with this wax??? If it will do that, I'm SOLD! -Kristi

Maybe it's just me, but when I see your URL I keep thinking "Candles" needs to be capitalized... -Kristi

I third (or was it fourth?) Candlescience's Peach. -Kristi

The zinc has a metal strand in it- with ecos you should be able to pinch the wick with your fingers, with zincs you have to trim with scissors. -Kristi

The real reason *I've* been putting off rebatching is that my food processor is broken lol... and no salad shooter. One of these days, I'll get to grating... -Kristi

Oh, mercy- packaging only!!!! scary thought leaving it on! -Kristi

You can get clear labels at www.labelsbythesheet.com , but for pillars, I'd get some heavy cardstock paper, print your logo and candle info on it in landscape (depending on your candle diameter), use craft scissors with the uneven jagged edges to cut them out and use rubber cement to glue the ends of the band together. HTH! -Kristi

waiting for the answer for this as I have 3 batches with not enough FO that are cured and waiting to rebatch... -Kristi

To make my chunks, I used a small jellyroll baking pan (like a sheet, only with a 1-2 inch raised edge). I lined it with foil then sprayed very lightly with canola cooking spray. Then I poured the wax in and popped it in the freezer for a few minutes (maybe 10?), just until it was set, but still slightly warm in the middle. Then, lift the foil OUT of the pan and onto a towel or something else!!! I took my sharp kitchen knife and scored lines to make the chunks, and then after it had finished hardening enough not to smoosh, I cut the chunks. I picked out several handfulls of the "best" chunks to stick to the sides of the jar. I stuck those to the sides first (and stick more than you think you want because occasionally the overpour gets between the chunk and the glass!). The chunks are still slightly warm and they stick easily if pushed on firmly. Then fill up the container with the less pretty chunks and crumbles from cutting it out. Let the overpour cool til slushy- this is IMPORTANT!!! Otherwise you'll melt your chunk color into the overpour! Fill up the container SLOWLY- it's already full of chunks, so there isn't that much overpour. Tap on the sides of the container (or jiggle it some) to get any air bubbles out. After it's full, arrange any chunks you want on the top (but I really try to do this before it's full!). Keep in mind that the two colors will blend together as the candle melts, so make sure they don't mix to make brown!!! I really like the chunks a dark color with the overpour a much lighter shade of the same color... Have fun! But don't wait too long to cut the chunks!!! Oh, and I've been wanting to try this with some very small cookie cutters also- they sell fondant cutters in the bakery doo dad section of just about everywhere... those would be PERFECT for doing some shapes mixed in with the chunks... Yankme's Gel/ Parrafin line with the embeds and clear overpour got me thinking about those... Can't you just see little leaves or gingerbread men? lol -Kristi

It's almost the exact same color I made Honey Coco Mango lol... only a touch pinker (think the end of the toothpick dipped in red). -Kristi

If you brew a pot of coffee for people- watch out! It will kill all the other scents. If I do coffee, I try to do it way ahead of time and then air out the house and just warm up the coffee!!! -Kristi

Mine is a peachy pink, almost a soft coral. -Kristi

The pharmacy has small amounts of Castor and Flax Seed oils. I wouldn't want to use them unless trying it out or in a pinch- expensive for the size!!! -Kristi

Well, my family wasn't at all entranced by my LoveSpell bread either... -Kristi

The FO is more likely to make your food taste funny... ick. -Kristi

My thermometer with metal band reaches the wax with only 1 lb... maybe you could find a longer thermometer? -Kristi
