I am trying to make some layered pillars. However, I need help when pouring the second layer should I be pouring cooler than the first layer or hotter? I have been reading about poking relief holes in the candle, but what does that accomplish?

Wouldn't that cause the candles to bleed together? Anyone who can give me some direct as to what to do, I would greatly appreciate all the help I can get so that my product will come out good.

TIA

So when changing seasons do you add more or less in the summer?

I too would be interested in this type of chart. LOL

I must be adding too much because they crack.

I made pillars and added 1/2 oz and stearic acid and it made them crack.

I would love to be able to measure the beeswax in grams but my scale does not have the gram feature.

Can anyone give me the ratio and example on 1lb of soy to beeswax? Approxiamately how much should be added?

I am using several different brands of soy wax to test. I also have some beeswax that I add to the soy to make it a little harder, and to give them a higher melting point.

My problem is getting the correct amount of beeswax add to make the candle to come out correctly. Say I use 1 lb of soy wax, I measure on a digital scale. How much beeswax should I be adding?

TIA

Candlebuddy,

Thanks,

Never mind I got it.

Okay I just looked at The Candlemaker's Store and they have two different kinds. Universal Additive and Soy Wax Additive. Which one would be best in soy wax?

Has anyone here ever made chunks and chunk candles out of soy wax? I want to keep my candles natural so I will use beeswax to make them harder. I just haven't figure out the ratio I need to add my beeswax. Say I measure out a pound of soy wax, how much beeswax should I add to the soy?

TIA

Can you post some web addresses?

Yes they do but I only want small quantities. Know of any suppliers that send USPS that have good dye and fo?

TIA

What company do you represent? Website Address?

Oh I should add that I need a supplier who will ship USPS. I am only buying a small amount of items and don't want to spend 15 or 20 in shipping charges for a few small items.

Need some FO's to try out. Who has good ones that work well with soy wax? I would also like for them to ship by USPS if it is only a small quantity. I think I am only going to get a few samples to see what I like first.

TIA

I am looking for a dye that is an Ivory/Cream color? Can you give me some names of companies that have good quality dyes? I am using it in soy wax. Right now I am testing several different soy waxes.

Is there a website for Lang? If not, who sells them wholesale? TIA

Nice to know that. Did not know that.

They are two different companies if you would take the time to look at both sites. One does not have anything to do with the other. Otherwise if they are the same company how would I know? I did a search and got both of them to come up seperately.

Try this company, I am pretty sure they sell by the sheet.

I am looking for a supplier who will ship USPS instead of UPS. I do not need anything else but the wicks so I don't want to have to pay an outrageous price for shipping for something so light it can probably be shipped first class with USPS.

Can any one provide me with a supplier that will ship USPS?

Thanks,

Chauna

Can some of you provide the web address for you favorite suppliers of scent?

Thanks for your time.
