I prefer to use paraffin, as soy is not a big seller where I live. It seems they sink as they get to room temp. I have been dabbling with candles for about 5 years, however this year I started to make more and sell them. Alot of times I just buy the 11lb paraffin slabs from the local Joann Fabrics as they are the only place that sell candle and soap supplies locally, also I have been getting the wax from there for 40 percent off with the weekly coupons from the fliers. I did recently buy some wax from Candlewic, its one that is on special right now: https://www.candlewic.com/store/Product.aspx?q=cParaffins,p1075 Thanks for the responses
