  1. How weird, I am new to candle making and, not to hijack your thread, but I need suggestions on a wick to try out also.
  2. Switching to parrafin. What wick should i use for IGI4630 poured into tin continers that are 3 inches wide. I know tht i need to test but i am looking for a starting point. I read that i sould use zinc, but i need to know about what size to look at
  3. Im in Mississippi. There really are no local suppliers so my only alternative is online. What online supplier do you all suggest?
  4. what are some advantages to using palm wax when making candles? what supplier do you use for palm wax?
  5. well, their fragrance chart says they all work well in soy. I have tried fruit slices, lick me all over, cool water, and cucumber melon. I think I shoud try a new wax but i love the soy. It is already in chips, melts and pours easily to me. I didnt warm my conatiners and they looked great. It also has a good burn time. You also do not have to add anything. If you think i should change, what shoud i change too? I need something with the a price about the same or less and i am looking for something that i will not have to add sanything but my fragrance and color. Another thing, what are jj's. Thanks
  6. Guys I have from some people there is another type of wax besides the ones below. Could you tell me what they or it is. Soy Paraffin Blend of Soy and Paraffin Bees Wax
  7. They have been bured for about four days. I've tried it in a small bathroom to our masterbedroom and you cant smell it unless your within about 1 foot of the candle which im am unsatisfied with. All of gelluminations scents are supposed to work well in soy. Im adding about 1.5 ounces per 16 ounces of wax which is what is reccomended. Thanks to all.
  8. New to candle making but not completely stupid. I have poured some soy candles and they do not have a good hot throw. They smell awesome when they are cool but when i burn them i get nothing. I use ecosoya cb advanced wax. pouring in 8 oz tins and using dye blocks to color. My FOs are from gelluminations.com along with all my other supplies. I am using a 51 32 18 cotton wick that burns my candles perfectly. Burn pool comes right to the edge. What would help with a better hot throw.
