What's your name? Amy How old are you? mid 50's Where do you live? Indiana How long have you been making candles/soap/whatever? made soy candles for about 10 yrs, quit for a few and now starting back up but going to focus on wax melts How did you get started making candles/soap/whatever? I love candles and melts Are you married? No If candle/Soap making isn't your primary job, what do you do? I am working in the printing industry Anything else we should know?

I am a former soy candle maker, just have not done it in a few years. I am getting ready to start making soy wax melts. I made them previously as well. Just need a starting point as to what melts in a warmer with a 25watt bulb (like a scentsy burner, I will eventually have my own burners to offer, just curious on the store bought warmers and if they actually melt the soy wax) I am toying with the idea of using this type of wax. AAK (formerly Golden Brands) Soy Tart & Melt Wax also known as 494 wax. I know when I previously made them, I used straight soy and unless I was using a tealight to melt wax, bulbs weren't hot enough to give complete melt pool and scent throw was pretty much nothing ( not due to strength of oils) I used most oils from ky candle supply at the time and blue grass so all oils were awesome.
