We have been doing some test pours with American Freedom Soy Wax. I can never seem to get a great top from the beginning. After fixing with the heat gun, the tops look fine. After test burning, the tops end up looking like cottage cheese or the surface of the moon. Very unsightly. I have read, this is just the way it is with soy wax. I want to be able to use the 45lbs of American Freedom Soy Wax I have, so thought maybe I can blend it with Paraffin? Any suggestion on what Paraffin to get and at what ratios to blend? I cant really sell any of these I made, they just dont look high quality enough.

Hi we are getting into candle making. When watching people make them on youtube, i never see people pour into the container on a scale. They just eyeball it to the fill line.eaning there can be some gram differences from product to product. If i advertise something that says 100 grams and send out something that weighs 98 grams, isnt thay false advertising? Solution is to pour each candle on the scale, but it is such a slow workflow. How do you do this in your candlemaking?
