    I started with soy almost a year ago with all the same questions, but I'm still using it, and have come a long way, even though I'm still learning.. Soy is difficult but just like other waxes people still have some problems.Look for a wick guide to help with diameter of your jar .I use cd wick for soy 464 and they work really well..

    Try heating your jars first. I warm my in the oven. And maybe your wick is to small for the diameter of the jar.or are you letting it burn long enough to get a full melt pool..

    One of the sites i was on the other day said it was 15 and change to ship a 1oz fo ..just 1 ..no way .I will just stick to the suppliers with way cheaper shipping rates..its to bad though because i do like fo's from the expensive suppliers..😥

    Thanks everyone for your suggestions ..I have been putting off ordering any floral scents cause i just wasn't sure..but now I have something to go by..💐💖

    Thanks..maybe I will start with a lemon or vanilla lavendar ..I had this lavendar pillow mist, smelled so good but then I smelled this other lavendar spray and it wasn't so good lol..so maybe I would like a mix better..
  22. Karen Ov
    How do you pick floral fo's for spring and summer if your not into them to much ? Eventually I would like to sell candles, so its hard for me to pick some out, like is jasmine better than lilac? Sometimes I think that some of the fo's i have ordered would smell better in soap than a candle. When i read descriptions of floral they sound like they would smell good but not sure what those types of flowers smell like. Thanks 💐
