  1. Hello Everyone! I am **brand** new here, first post, and have only made 4 candles to date (two pillars - not soy, and two 16 oz containers - both soy). For the purpose of this thread, I will give the results I had with my two Soy container candles. Type of Soy or Soy Blend you use? GW-444 (98% Soy / 2% Soy-Based Additive) Additives if any? None other than my FOs and color. Preferred dyes? So far, have only used Peak's dyes; one was a chip the other was liquid. Preferred wick (Not sizes)? For the soy, I have only used RRD. (Have not burned them yet, just made yesterday!) Pouring temp you recommend? I poured both of these at 135* F. What you do to prevent frosting? I did not have any frosting on either candle. What you do to prevent rough tops? I did have tops that looked "lumpy" on one, and the other cracked a little and was also "lumpy". I used a heat gun on both, and seemed to smooth out okay. Do you do anything to prevent wet spots? So far I have not seen any wet spots on these two candles. I did not heat my containers, just wicked and poured. Thanks for this thread!! And this site!!
