I've been testing 6046 and have found that it burns too hot, even when wicked down, in the vessels I'm using. I also tested both trimmed and untrimmed candles(same vessel, same wick) side by side with 6046 and found a big difference in how they burn. If I wicked for the average person that does not trim their candle, I could get a fairly decent burning candle, but for the scrupulous customer who actually follows the directions on the warning label, that same candle would tunnel horribly. Wick assuming the candle will be trimmed regularly would cause the same candle to burn way to hot left untrimmed. I found that adding GB 444 at 20% really helped to tame the burn and gave me much more consistency in how the candle burned whether it was trimmed or left untrimmed.
As far as beading or sweating, I found 6046 was prone to sweat, especially the longer the candle aged (4 months +), and if exposed to warmer temps. GB 444 helped with this, but I still got a little beading in hot temps of 95+. FO load was 6%-8%.
Adding soy wax did affect adhesion negatively, and I got air pockets down deep in in my 8oz jars. However, I didn't play around to much with pour temps.
Overall the soy wax helped greatly with burn characteristics of 6046.
Next I'm going to try palm with this wax.
