Hello and thank you in advance for reading because it's long! I was using the EcoSoya 135 when they all of a sudden discontinued it. I still have 3 boxes remaining but afraid I can no longer continue as I plan to sell the candles I make. I still have a lot of learning and researching before I can sell though but hoping to be more efficient going forward with your help. Do you suggest Soy Golden Brands 415, 444, or 464 with essential oils? I realize fragrance oil is more economical and don't give off as much scent but I really want to stick with the non-synthetic oils. I was looking at the bulk pricing from Jedwards http://www.bulknaturaloils.com/butter-wax/waxes/bulk-natural-waxes/soy-wax-flakes Which soy wax flakes would you recommend? Do you also have any recommendation on where to get good bulk essential oils and EO blends, wax, wicks and elegant containers, boxes, manufacturers, labels? I would also very much appreciate your recommendation on which wicks to try. I have been made aware by painful experience that this is not as easy as it seems. I've tried the LX samples and Square Braid samples in different sizes and they've all mushroomed and left weird bumpy crystalized craters on the top surface. Was it the oil or pour temp? I am going to try the Eco series sample next but I was hoping for a non-paper-filled flat braid wick. Any suggestions on this would be GREATLY appreciated with the appropriate soy wax. I have also been playing around with the idea of adding 2 scents in a trio of candles. I feel these oils are strong enough to emit a decent throw but it depends on the wax? Which oils will for sure not work with essential oils? What temperature should I mix the oils into the wax as to not kill the scent in any way? Also, what is the ideal temperature to melt the wax, put the EO into the melted wax and then pour? I have tried a variety and I haven't been able to make a candle I am satisfied with to sell. I've made my entire house at an even 70 degrees doing this. Any recommendation, comment, critique desperately needed. Thank you! And lastly, as if that wasn't enough, which combination of trio scents would you want to receive if someone were to give you a set of candles? That's the end goal. Thank you very much again.
