Hi fellow candle making addicts - I am a noob; hooked on this perfectly imperfect craft. I'd like to get a sense of what your personal favorite soy waxes are for containers. Which did you hate if any? i have been using GB 464 and also tried GB 444 from Candle Science - not sure how i feel yet, because I don't know what I don't know??? My cold throw is always amazing, my hot throw varies from lame to ok. I did learn to cure my candles for best results! Wicking is something I am trialing through - HTP is terrible, CD so far seems my favorite, trying ECO next. ANYWAY, I cant help but wonder, if I am traveling down the wrong road in the first place with my wax choices.... What is your favorite and why? thanks friends 💜

Hey - I’m new to this craft as well but I love the imperfection of it and I think people who appreciate soy candles understands that’s just how it is for the trade off of a healthier product. Anyway - did I i understand you to say that you are just test burning plain wax without FO? If so, I understand why you are trying that, but my impression is that when you start adding FO into your mix it will totally change how you may feel about a certain wick. It could burn completely differently when you add another variable.
