Maryann, I have made container soy layered candles and they do bleed. I have had some sucess with doing a thin layer of uncolored/white wax between the layers, slpwes it down a little. A thin layer of j300 might work since it is suspose to be a good layering wax. I have made a carrot cake candle and topped with a white icing and after awhile the brown from the carrot cake turned the icing wax brown. So I tried soy pillar, clean wax, that white color stuff, UV, and now I'm mixing Perfect Blend to see if it will keep it from bleeding. Nothing else I have tried worked. I have some j300 maybe I'll try that next.
