How can I get one? I've googled and can't come up with anything.
-
I like them.
-
LOL! I've done that myself.
-
Very nice, Julie!
-
To put it short and sweet, for me, by switching to a blend, I got rid of the soot and smoking of paraffin and the frosting and bumpy tops of soy. I got the best of both worlds.

Very cool!

Very nice! I love that marble too!

Here's a chart that I refer to a lot for burn rates. It is a bit limited, I think, but may help you somewhat. If not, omit this post. LOL

Nice! Love the shelves.

Mix away! You can mix and match whatever container waxes you feel like mixing. Who knows what you may come up with!

Cierra has a great candy corn.

Wal-Mart carries these now. $4.84 a piece. Back in the craft section where the liquid potpourri is.

I fill mine up all the way
Hey you copied.

Nearly every FO I've tried from LS and BC have been WEAK at 6%, so I marked them off of my list. Peak's quality is top notch. Haven't tried the others.

I melt my wax in the presto and use the pour pots to mix my color and scents in.
Me too.

So far I've only used 1343 pillar wax - no smoke or soot at all (I was waiting for it but it never happened) - even on 14 hour power burns. Can I ask, the soot you were getting with paraffin - was it in containers or pillars? And if I may ask, what wax were you using. (I'm new at paraffin so just trying to gather some info).
Thanks.
Sorry, I should have been clearer. I was talking about paraffin container waxes. I've tried a bajillion of them. J-50, J-223, IGI 4786, CW129, Comfort Blend, IGI 1945/4630, and a few others. I ALWAYS got soot, and with most of them I got horrible smoking while burning, even with the wick trimmed. The smoking was the worst with the 1945/4630. The soot/smoke occured in all of these waxes when I used 3% AND 6% FO.
When I said soy is cleaner burning for me, what I meant was that the jars are cleaner. Soy may put off "white" soot, but I can't see it. I don't like black soot showing up on my containers. I won't sell them that way.

Oh, man, I bet that is a mess! Glad you didn't get burned.
A lesson learned. Direct heat and wax don't mix.
-
I use a wax that is 98% soy, because I got fed up with the black soot and smoke that paraffin gave me. Some people never get soot or smoke with par., but I always did. I got awesome throws with it, but I gave up and decided to move on. I have found that the major difference between soy and par, for me, is that the soy burns so much cleaner.

Next summer works for me. I really didn't wanna go pregnant!
