Thanks for all of your insights! Dave

I have been creating candles for about 4 months now. I have used 4794 for votives and 4630 for glass containers. Having always been one to burn candles almost daily, I originally started to make them so I would not have to keep buying Yankees. All of my votives burn and smell great and have only made one bad batch (will not use that FO - Color combination again). All of my glass has been 8 oz. so far and also a few tins. Recently here I saw some examples of containers using Glass Glow and wow what a beautiful look. Then I see so many people using Soy. I am so pleased with the results using Paraffin. How many of you started with Paraffin and switched to Palm or Soy or do you all seem to use it all? Very interested to hear your responses. I do recycle and I do not litter but I am not out to save the world one candle at a time. So far all of my candles have been used personally or given as gifts (disguised as testers), however the quality of what I am producing is I believe as good (so my wife and testers tell me) as Yankee. Thanks, Dave

I've made two batches of Peak Cinnamon Buns and have re-ordered the scent as everyone who has smelled it burning has liked it. Dave

1st post so bear with me please.......Thanks for all the great advice and suggestions I see posted here, it is a great source for knowledge. Enjoying my new candle making experiences so far. I have had great success in making votives that burn and smell great. Using IGI 4794 and it has worked out GREAT. I have made and burned at least 120 of them so far as well as giving as gifts (testing). My question is I would love to get a mottling effect without using a mottling wax such as IGI 1274 as I am having so much success with the 4794. Any Suggestions? I appreciate any responses. Thanks Dave
