From Soy to Paraffin, So Much Easier!
sandy511 replied to Zelda's topic in Vegetable Wax & Beeswax Candle Making
Can I ask what percentage of FO you "blenders" are using with your parasoy combos? -
I love the idea of the cedar mixed with sweet orange and chile pepper as well--sounds great! I have never worked with EO though. Can I ask which percentage of rich you use?
-
Thank you for the suggestions
-
I love woodsy smells....oak, pine, cedar. Apples and Oak, Vanilla Wood, Earthen Oak... Can anyone suggest a strong, cedar or oak fragrance for soy that I can use as a mixer to combine with apple, cinnamon or vanilla? Any other combinations come to mind?
-
SO happy someone else uses it!! I have just started playing with it but these are my findings.....Any zinc wicks I have tried have smoked pretty bad and the LX wicks have burned fairly well, pretty even, but I was not getting the HT I had expected. I only let it cure for 48 hours though. Do you let yours cure longer? Do you mind sharing what kind of wicks you use? Thanks.
-
Does anyone use this wax? When I do a search, it seems I can only find older threads. Just wondering if anyone had any recent experiences with it they would like to share.....please and thank you????
-
I am curious if you ever ordered either of the Dandelion scents? They sound like a great Summer scent--wondered if they worked out for you??
-
Thank you!! Can't wait to try this!!
-
When mixing 4794 and 6006, what temp do you pour at and what percentage of FO are you using? I am going to try this.....KY is out of their tart wax AGAIN. Thanks!
-
Nothing! Great business tactics, don't ya think? I am now trying to find a good Apple Danish and a good pine, maybe similar to Rocky Mountain Pine....any suggestions?
-
Thank you.
-
They are out of stock.....UGH! Does anyone know if The Candle Source, Spicy Apples & Peaches is the same scent? Any other dupes?
-
I have not received my order......
-
I know this is a very popular FO and one of very favorites also OOB, BUT I am having a heck of a time getting any HT from it. I have seen so many raves about it and how strong it is CT and HT. I would love to hear any tricks or suggestions anyone would be willing to share with me, as this is one of my favorites, year round. Really, any pumpkin.... I am using 464 with a tsp coconut oil per #, JJ with a CD8. No dye. Heating to 185-- adding FO. Pouring around 150. I let it cure for 1 week. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Good to know, thank you! After SEVERAL phone calls, and an email, plus the order I placed over a month ago, I placed ANOTHER order yesterday. This time I at least received an invoice via email, no total yet, to include shipping and my card has not been charged. I am keeping my fingers crossed! I REALLY want to try Apple Danish and Rocky Mt. Pine BUT if it is this hard to get your hands on--Am I making a mistake??? Suppose I get hooked and love it like so many others....hehe--I think I have a problem--I think I want it more than ever now knowing it is so hard to get my hands on it.
-
Have you had trouble in the past, Karen? It sounds like this isn't the first time this has happened....If it is "Hit or Miss" on ordering, maybe I am better off not having smelled it.
-
I tried to place an order well over a month ago because I am SO anxious to try Rocky Mountain Pine and Apple Danish. I got no response. I have been calling there off and on for several days and left a message--no response...that's too bad. Such rave reviews! Does anyone know of any comparable pine or apple scents? Thank you.
-
I love the looks of the Palm in there--thank you for sharing Steve! Where do you find a CD-3 wick? The smallest I have is a CD-5, from Lonestar. I agree with the above mentioned, I have had the same troubles with the little booger getting too hot with everything I have tried. I may try a CD-3, if I can find it and order some HTP 31 also...of course the smallest HTP I have is 41. Thanks for all the input
-
Yes, Steve, they are 1.5 oz. actually . I bought mine at CS. Palm Wax would be nice--I bet they would be pretty and have a nice throw too. Please let me know if you have any luck, if you do try that. I bought 5 cases of the little suckers on one of my buying sprees and can't seem to wick them with ANY wax....thought it was a good idea at the time..HA! Anybody have any luck with ANY wax in this jar?
-
Has anyone successfully wicked this combo? I have tried every wick under the sun with C3 in this jar and can't get this jar to work. I decided switch waxes completely for this jar. I wondered if anyone has had any luck with 4630 in the 2 oz. Hex Jar and if so, would you mind sharing what wick works for you? Thank you.
-
Thank you SO MUCH! I am relieved.....
-
Does anyone know what is going on with Candle Cocoon?? One of my favorite suppliers! GREAT customer service and awesome products! I NEED some Pumpkin Coffee NOW! (Actually yesterday!) LOL I placed an order online Tuesday and my card has not even been charged (or money held yet). I have been calling the number on the website and it just rings and rings......Previously, I have had my orders by now. I know, with other companies, this is not a long time, but with Lyschel, this is unusual. Does anyone know something I don't? Also--does anyone have any Pumpkin Coffee they can sell me??
-
Thank you for your responses! My molds are silicone from Van Yulay, that is why I was thinking of raw wick--not sure how I would use any other kind? If that were possible, I would be all set as I think I have enough wicks to open a wick store of my own. I am assuming most people use the metal molds with a wick pin then? That way they can use the pre-made wicks?
-
Any suggestions would be much appreciated! I can not seem to wick a 3x4 pillar to save my life....I have tried all sorts of LX raw wicks. I think I read that people have had luck with CD's (which are my favorite in jar candles), but where can I buy it on a spool and what size would be a good starting point? Also--are you have good HT. Thank you.

Oh good because I was only going by OOB and I shouldn't be so quick to judge! I will have to wait and see, after I get in in wax
