I just LOVE Lavender mixed with a mint or vanilla - Raspberry is good too!

I personally dont like double wicking candles - I would try an HTP126

I agree with the previous poster and whatever you use for candle jars as well

This is totally normal = and this is why I love soy - its totally natural AND unpredictable - dont worry about it - its melted wax.. customers, users, dont care - really - I get more compliments on the fact that I dont use any color stabilizers or additives and it gives them more of a unique look - even while burning..

My customers like the frosting too - but you can always add a little besswax about 1tbsp/lb and that should eliminate most of it without having to wick up..

Years ago I found that with the glue gun - the heat of the wax sometimes would loosen up the wick and then it would float.. :undecided
Since all that testing, I have been using wick stickems for the last 3 years..

I have tried other Pink Sugars too and they have all crystalized for me.. Maybe I will try warming the FO before adding - my favorite is the Pink Sugar from Indiana Candle Supply

I get my color from Indiana Candle Supply - they seem to melt real easy in the wax - great true colors and mix beautifully..

DEAD ON and customers just love it!!!

Regular Tarts..

I agree with the previous poster - Minor mushrooming is better than no full melt pool and at times thats hard to get with soy -
Congrats!! Millcreek kits is how I started off and that was over 3 years ago - they are great mentors!!

Type of Soy or Soy Blend you use? ECOSOYA PURE SOY
Additives if any? NONE
Preferred dyes? Color Blocks from ICS
Preferred wick (Not sizes)? HTP
Pouring temp you recommend? 100 or less
What you do to prevent frosting? pouring as cool as you can
What you do to prevent rough tops? Treat with a blow dryer
Do you do anything to prevent wet spots? make sure jars at room temp

I will only pour pure soy candles and tarts and I LOVE EcoSoya PURE Soy CB for both.
If in a pinch and my supplier is out (of course) I grab a box from Millcreek of their pure soy flakes..
Good Luck!!

WOW - a two day show!!! You are brave...
Is it a show where you have to leave your stuff set up overnight?? I have always been uncomfortable about that. You would think I treated my candles like my children...lol

That site is WSP - its their fragrance site -
I live down the street from WSP and go there at least twice a week for my wax (wow that saves me shipping too!) - I can get it to you cheaper (usps) if you need it.. Email me directly

Again- I would have to say ICS www.candlesupplys.us -
I HATE florals but their Rose is the best and I actually enjoy it..

Thats the wax I use -
I just started this month adding 1 tbsp of beeswax to my 1 lb pure soy... Noticed a big difference.. I try added 2 tbsp of beeswax at 1st but my jars started doing this weird cracking thing after burning - now with just the 1 tbsp - they are awesome and I am done testing!

I add beeswax to my pure soy, and with that diameter of a candle, for me, an htp126 would do the trick..
but thats me.. lol
