Hi Folks I discovered this board and Candle Tech by accident, best accident I ever had! I discovered Soy candles several weeks ago and was intrigued by them since they dont irritate me. I have COPD and am on oxygen. I set up next to a lady selling these in a flea market and fell in love with them. The only problem was that she tried to sell me on Candle Wealth which is multi level marketing and I dont like pyramid deals. So I went and bought a kit off of Ebay with all the basic stuff including 10 pounds of wax, what kind of soy I dont know. I made my first candle tonight and now really have the bug.
What I need help on is choosing a good Soy wax and a good supplier.
Im looking at Florida soy solution.com since they are 15 minutes from me.
They sell:
Enchanted Lites 100% Soy Container Wax
Enchanted Lites MiLLennium Soy/Veg Blend Wax
I also am looking at CandLe Science.com
They sell:
Ecosoya CB135
Ecosoya CB Advanced
Ecosoya CBPure Soy
CargiLL Nature Wax
I am also trying to figure out what wicks to use.
I have already bought my scents that I wanted from Natures Garden and
I am pleased with their customer service and product. I know everyone I
have talked to says "gee making candles sounds easy" but I am discovering that its not as easy as it looks. I am however having lots of fun!
Any help you could give a poor old beginer would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
John

Thanks for the advise . I am going to check with the supplier by my house as soon as they open back up for business. His wife just had a baby so they are closed this week. I checked shipping cost on wax from some suppliers and wow its costly. Plus theres a big variance in prices but im finding 49 to 51 dollars is the norm.
Have any of you used Natures Garden Before?
I am trying them for scents.
