    I use CB 135 with my handmade HTP41 wicks. I get 5-6 hours burn time as well......... Kim

    Thanks so much for all your input. I have 24 glass votive cups...just never thought about using the actual glass cup as the mold!? I will give it a whirl! Kim

    Hello: I am looking for a FLORAL CITRONELLA fragrance to use in SOY. Does anyone know of a supplier or has anyone made their own by mixing? What floral would you recommend? I prefer a Canadian supplier if possible!? Thanks! Kim

    Just wondering how others weigh/measure the FO? What vessel do you use to weigh/measure it in?

    I use Ecosoya CB135 for my tealights with 1/2 tsp of BW per pound of soy wax. So far, they have been great!!

    I have used CB-Adv exclusively for my 5oz and 10oz apothecary jars. I just started using CB 135 for my tealights. I guess the main reason I shied away from the CB135 for jars is that I was told it frosts quite a bit...I don't have a huge frosting issue with the Advanced.....but may give it a try to see about improved scent throw!?

    Hi There! I use EcoSoy PB and CB-Advanced exclusively. I add about 1-2% of BW for hardness and better scent throw. It's harder, that is for sure, but I don't notice a HUGE difference. I am just experimenting with CB-135 for my tealights...it was suggested by NGIwax. HTH Kim www.Kimdles.com

    I use Ecosoya PB exclusively for my votives. I use the 2oz metal flared top votive molds and have great results, they slide right out with a nice smooth finish! I use HTP73 wicks for my soy votives.

    Hi Brian: Thanks for your input. What does a TL28 or TL31 equate to with respect to an HTP wick?? I am in Canada and have not seen that type listed on any CDN suppliers sites. Would it be like a HTP 28? I currently use an HTP73 for my 5oz jars and votives.

    I have tried Ecosoya CB Advanced for my tealights using both S330 wicks and 18-342T, with no success. They burn for 20 mins then the flame shrinks and eventually is so low the melt will actual start to re-harden. It has been suggested that I try the CB 135. What HTP wick works best with tealights? Would adding Beeswax help with hardness?? Any suggestions are welcomed! Thanks! Kim www.Kimdles.com

    I make my tarts from EcoSoya PB (same configuration as my votives) 1oz of FO and pour into 1oz melt molds. They are awesome and are one of my biggest sellers! ~*Kim *~ www.Kimdles.com

    I am looking for a website or posting on mixing dyes (specifically liquids) for soy wax. With the soy wax having a yellow colour, you don't really get 'red' when you add red liquid but rather a magenta type colour. Any information on colour blending for soy waxes and candles would be greatly appreciated. Kim www.Kimdles.com info@kimdles.com
