I AM CONCIDERING NOT COLORING MY CANDLES ANY MORE..IS THERE A ADDITIVE THAT I NEED TO USE TO KEEP THE CANDLE CREAMY COLORED? I USE SOY WAX..

I HAVE JUST FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A SUPPLIER OF ENCHANTED LITES SOY,,ABOUT 30 MIN. AWAY FROM ME..

I WAS WONDERING IF ALL OF YOU THAT HAS ALOT MORE EXPERIANCE WITH CANDLE MAKING THAN I WOULD CARE TO CHIME IN, ON IF YOU HAVE TRIED

THIS WAX. WHAT IS YOUR HONEST OPINION..SHOULD I GIVE IT A TRY OR JUST STAY WITH WHAT I ALREADY HAVE..WHICH IS THE GB 414 AND 464

YOU MAY REMEMBER MY POST A FEW DAYS ABOUT ABOUT THE GB 415 AND 464. ABOUT THE SCENT THROW..I WOULD CHANGE TO THE EL WAX IF YOU THINK FROM YOUR TESTING THAT IS WAS BETTER THAN WHAT I ALREADY HAVE...I JUST REALLY WANT A GOOD SCENT THROW..SO I WOULD BE WILLING TO CHANGE..WHAT DO YOU THINK????

Me Again...i Did Some More Searching And Looked Up Accu Blend, And Their Web Site Came Up, And It Is In Southern Calif. And They Also Say They Will Soon Be Carring It, It Guess They Are The Manufacture Of It..so Will Keep Watching..might Be Good To Have A Case Of It To Blend Blend Blend..lol

I Had Just Read This Post..and Found This...swans Candles In Washington Said On Their Web Site They Will Soon Be Carring

Accu-blend Coco Wax-coconut Wax. They Say They Have A Shipping Warehouse In Irwindale Ca. If You Order Large Quanities..so This Might Be Something Of Interest..

I Just Read The Coconut Oil Thread..very Interesting...i Think I Will Get Some Coconut Oil And Give It A Try..do You Think I Should Try The 415 & 464 Separatly With The Oil? Or Go Ahead And Mix Them As I Have Been Doing? I Will Try To Get Some Tonight And Test With A Scent That Did Not Throw Good, And See What Happens..

So To 3lbs I Need To Put About 1 1/2 Teasp.?

I TRY TO LET THEM CURE FOR AT LEAST A WEEK...I DO WANT TO SAY THAT I DO GET SOME THAT THROW GOOD..BUT I WOULD SAY 2 OR 3 OUT OF 15 IS ALL, THAT SEEMS TO REALLY BE WINNERS..THIS MAY SOUND FUNNY BUT IF YOU HAVE TO BURN YOUR NOSE TRYING TO SMELL THE CANDLE I DON'T EVEN WANT TO TRY TO SELL IT...ONE THAT I REALLY LIKE IS FROM ICS THE CITRUS COOLER..IT IS A WONDERFUL SUMMER SMELL..LIME AND LEMMONY WITH A TOUCH OF SWEETNESS TO IT..

YOU SAY YOU USE THE CARGILL..DO YOU HAVE FROSTING ISSUES WITH IT..IF SO WHAT DO YOU DO TO HELP THAT? DO YOU FEEL THAT IS THE BEST YOU HAVE TESTED WITH? I LIVE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF CALIF. IT COST ME ABOUT $20 - $25. TO HAVE 50LB SENT FROM GEN WAX.. I CAN ALSO GET THE ECO SOY FROM YALEYS FOR ABOUT THE SAME IN SHIPPING..EVEN WITH THIS MIX OF GB 414 & 464 I AM HAVING SOME PROBLEMS WITH FROSTING..

THANKS FOR ALL THE IMPUT..I HAVE READ MANY MANY TIMES..TEST..TEST..TEST..AND TEST SOME MORE..

I WILL TRY YOUR SUGGESTION..I WILL TRY TO PUT UP THESE CANDLES FOR A WHILE..:undecided IT IS A BAD ADDICTION...

I Am Using The Terrice Jars..10oz. 160z. 260z...4" Diamiter..and Using 2 Cd Wicks Of Different Sizes..i Am Getting A Great Melt Pool When I Have Found The Right Size For The Fo..usually In 3 To 4 Hrs I Have A Total Mp To 1/4 To 1/2 Deep..

The 415 That Was Suggested..do You Get Alot Of Frosting With That...it Seems I Do...is That The Wax That Most Have Found Gives The Best Throw?

I Really Appreciate All The Input You All Have Given..this Task Of Making Candles Can Be Quite Challaging..

I Live In California..so Getting Supplies Is Costly Too..

Candlesoylutions Has Just Started Handling Gb Soy, So The Shipping Is Better Now..

I Also The Cargill's Brand Is In Calif. And Eco Soy Is Fairley Close..

Thanks Again For All The Help..i Surely Need It...lol

I Bought The 464 & 414 To Mix Thinking The Two Together Would Give Me A Good Scent Throw And Smoothness Of The 464 And The Scent Throw Of 415..

I Am Using The Cd Wicks..i Mix 2 Lbs. Of 464 To 1 Lb Of 415. I Use 4 Oz. Of Fo..to This Mixture.

I Have Bought I Think From Good Suppliers..indiana Candle Supply..flickers...bittercreek...candlescience...willowwoods..

Alabaster...i Try To Get What Is Supposed To Be Good In Soy...

Yes Maybe I Do Have Candle Nose..lol..
