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.
