I've been making candles for the past 3 years (as a serious hobby and I have one retail customer) and I finally switched from 100% soy to IGI 6006 blend. I haven't had anyone walk away from my candles because they aren't 100% soy; I also don't use any dye which people either like or they don't. I found that the unpredictability of soy made candle making frustrating for me and I found myself crossing my fingers every time I poured a batch. I use clear 11 oz tumblers for my candles so I do heat them prior to pouring to avoid wet spots as much as possible and yes, I still cross my fingers. Occasionally a candle or two will provide some frustration but I just set those aside for my personal use. You will find what works best for you and that journey is what it's all about. Be patient.
