Are we talking Soy or Paraffin??? Since I am in General candle making I will assume(?) Paraffin: I have used the wide mouth Kerr canning jars since I started,,,people love them here,,,for my 16oz I use 4786 and I wick (depending if the FO is heavy) I use 60z,,,If FO light 51z. I like my burn 1/2 to 1 inch also. I have also tried HTP 83 successfully with this jar. When I am to my fifth burn my melt pool is doing well. I dont mind if it "simmers" as long as it is throwing and it has a good MP and there is no soot building up. If Soy,,, GB464 I use depending on the FO and heaviness in the same Jar ,,,Heavy a HTP 1312, light (maybe a HTP1212) or the 700 primeier series sizes 780 to 798. Im still playing with Soy,,, So I do not sell these yet,,,be a while,,, I agree with Crafty1_AJ you can only strive to perfection and get as close as you can,,,I am happy with my candles thus far with the 4786. I also have a wee bit of Peaks One Pour Performance Blend I love too,,,I loved that wax. Okay rambling now,,,Gotta make some candles,,,Have a great day!!

Hmm I too am into Victorian things, Hence my business name LadyBre,,But I never thought of trying the Tallow,,,this sounds interesting!!! Im glad you asked this question,,,I may try it BUT if it soots like crazy my customers I KNOW wont buy it,,,Nice to do an experiment though,,,Perhaps on Tapers...

Yep, I do this too,,,

I did a lot of the heart containers but with Paraffin,,I used 3 60z's(2up top and 1 below) and they were perfect,,I sold a lot of them this past year and I have pics on my website;)

I love the 4786,,it has a great hot/cold throw,,

Hi,,I use IGI-4625 and NONE of my candles do that. If it is happening to you Scentsibility you need to wick up,,,in a 3x6.5 round I use 24ply flat braid. It self consumes as it burnes. I do "hug" my pillars too. I like the palm pillar wax but I think I would wick up and see what happens. I also like the shell effect. I love the Palm "feathering" one pour, votive/Pillar wax from www.nuscentscandles.com For a 3x6.5 round I use a 36ply flat Braid.

They look Great!!!! I too like the whitness on the top as it reminds me of the woods. Great looking greens,,,Good Job!!!!

Oh I love them!!! they have a nice spring color and the simplicity of their appearance acheived well using clear labels which I like!! They would get my attention!!!

Hi and Welcome to CT:D ,,,,I have been transforming to the realm of Soy too,,,I like having a variety,,,,I too like the 464,,has great hot/cold throw and sets up real well,,,,,

Hi Everyone!! I use all three. I use dye chips with my pillars, tarts and votives. I use the liquid only for some colors such as black, browns, and Pink and when I use IGI- 4786. I use pryme colors for my Soy, to me it makes a sharper, richer color for the veggie based, or soy products. I have never had any smell from the Pryme dyes. JMO;)

Hi,,I received my 474,,,I will pour tomorrow as I have some things to do today,,,Will Let ya know,,,Thanks Jason!!

Awww come on Geek,,,it doesnt feel right,,you not being in on this one!!!

Nothing here yet,,,

I would try the 1212 first,,,I also tested the 1312 and it worked well with the 464 if you look through the thread here at my posts,,,,I am testing the new 700 premier series and starting to love it!!! Just give it a go and see how it works,,,,HTH

Yep, I agree!!!!

Hi,, at first I was not to sure about the 700 series and actually didnt like them BUT the more I test the more I like these because I CAN use 1 wick instead of 2, I have been testing the new FO from Snowtop,,,Orange Blossoms AWESOME COLD/HOT throw with the 464 and I have a W1-777,,,so far it looks great,,,I will try to get my pics uploaded. Jason,, this is some AWESOME wax!!!!

I have worried about possibly doing this very thing and what I did was went to wal-mart and bought 2 large plastic cutting boards and I cover my sinks,,,it has worked out well,,,I hope everything works out!!!! HTH

I am going to try and Play with some palm feathering wax,,,,cant wait,,,Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!!

Thanks so much Jason!!!!

Stacian, you are so right!!!! ROFLMBO!!!!! :laugh2:
