ok i gotta know, what is the best type of dye to use for soy candles, i've used the dye blocks and reddi glo chips. and been wanting to try out liquid. any suggestions would be great

I have tried them all but I perfer using the block cause they are less messy un like the liquid ones I'm a bit of a clutz and some how manage to spill my liquid dye all the time

nice job, the candles look really good

thank you for the great input

the soot was the lighter when i was lighting it and I am using a 52-32-18 size wick

yeah about an hour and a half

I think the burn pool is right on this candle but I am not sure can all of yall look at it and tell me what you think.

my warmer gets hot enough to melt the wax on the sides of my gel candles. Maybe it is the brand of warmer that you have that doesn't get it hot enough

So I found this wax that I forgot I had....read up on it as I was testing....boy did I make a mistake. I've read thread after thread of difficulties and suggested solutions. I've poured anywhere between 120-170, cooled in styrofoam, added PS, added 10-30 115 soy, nothing helps! The tarts come out cool but the votives crack no matter what. The votives are also loaded with air pockets. Unless anyone has found success I'm thinking of hanging up votives with it and using it up in tarts.

C :undecided

i dont add additives to the soy you are using... i cool it on a bakers rack in the kitchen... if the stick then freeze them for a minute to 3. no cracks here. i pour at 150.

the biggger jars are EcoSoya (pure wax) great stuff and the votive is a 50/50 blend, the scents are ocean, blue skies, desert honeysuckle, fressia, vanillla peach, blueberry shortcake, the votive is hot apple pie

about 8 months

the bigger jars are 9oz. mason jars

Here are some of the container candles that I made yesterday. Tell me what you think.

I really like to use EcoSoya (pure soy) I like the quality and the look. It has really good jar adhesion and less frosting.

cool thanks for the suggestions I appreciate it.

the walmarts around where I live quit carring them. but I didn't think about the grocery stores

Where do you guys get your jars for making your candles and what kind do you use? The place that I used to get them from stopped carring them and I am clue less now where to get them other than the Internet.

I use eco soy and I have no wet spots or frosting I really like this wax, but when i use CB I have a hard time with the wet spots and the wax doesn't adhere to the jar.

I love that candle you made it is very cute

the scent is Hot chocolate. I work at a Hallmark store and that is were I got my cup with the lid.

I made this candle for a christmas gift. I thought it was cute and it smells so good to.

piller candles

I like to use the 55-32-18 size wicks in my candle they burn really well.

I use creativeilluminations.com for my soy candle purchases they have quite a few kits to choose from and they tell you exactly what to do.
