Hi, I am so happy I found this board! I would love to chat with you all about candlemaking! I have been making candles for a few years. I normally use soy with beeswax for my blend. I decided I am sick of the appearance (frosting mainly), so I tried a parasoy blend. KY's Perfect Blend. I could not get it to throw a scent to save my life! Right now I am experimenting with a new blend - I am using KY soy wax and I add a little beeswax, crisco, and joy wax in. Well the appearance is so much better, however, I cannot wick this blend to save my life! I think adding the joy wax in causes the candle to pull away from the container and when I get a decent melt pool going on, the darn pool drains between the candle and the container glass, and this ruins my wick! My wick just won't perform anymore once the melt pool 'falls' between the candle and the container's glass. Has anyone tried a similar blend? What the heck do I do?? lol I wicked up, down, changed wicks - tried the CD's, HTP and Cotton. I normally prefer the HTP and Cotton wicks but I was desperate to get this blend to work as it made my candles look so much better so I tried the CD's. I like the CD's. Has anyone tried the Golden Brand GW444? I saw this on Millcreek's web site and it sounds wonderful. Sorry so long. Have a great day! LilJean
