I had some interesting results while trying to make 415 do what I want. I was happy to see smooth creamy tops. TOMH your right, you will get different results depending on the temperature . Onto next challenge getting a strong HT .

Funny you should mention 415, I recently switched and have experimenting with it. Working on finding its happy pouring temperature. With this wax I'm thinking lower is better. Your right, trying different techniques is the key. I can tolerate frosting, lumpy bumpy tops, I just call them a "Primitive LOOK" . What I won't compromise on is scent throw, its got to be strong, without cutting into my profit margins. Thanks again .

Thanks so much TOMH... I knew you'd have all the the right answers. I'll continue my daunting search to perfect / make soy play nice. It's truly a love hate thing with soy .

What exactly is USA additive made of ? What does the property do beside perhaps enhance the ht/ ct throw, and create a smooth top for all natural soy \soy wax. Are there any other additive achieving the same results? While in BJ Wholesale I saw 35# of liquid soy oil . Main and only ingredient listed was soybean. The price was $22.00. Could this be used as an additive for soy with the same the results as USA ,or even better? I know it's intended for cooking , but so is Crisco , and food grade paraffin wax. So any thoughts on this subject. Thanks

Wow, that's impressive. So the CT with 9% FO is good? Looking forward to your follow up with the HT wonce you start burning it. Thanks for all your input on this wax. I'm experimenting with it too. My ultimate goal, although it seems unattainable, is to have a single soy wax perform with strong HT & CT like paraffin.

I've tried to make the transition from all Paraffin to a soy or even a soy blend using CB Advanced ad Excel. I'm disappointed in the lack hot and cold throw. It's defeating the problem by having to add more fragrance just to compensate for the lack soy property composition . I've even tried to blend it with straight paraffin, 6006, CB129 &CB 130, still not a strong scent throw. Maybe. I' m to picking in the expectation of scent throw that I would normally get from my paraffin . It is my hope to somehow figure this out. If a manufacture was able to make soy wax act like paraffin ... it would be a gold mine fort them .

I've tried a lot of her scent, like most companies it's hit her miss Off the top of my head here's some that are strong for me: Cherry Bomb Almond. Cookies Bear Claws Carmel Cinnamon Latte Pumpkin Spice Latte Mamas Blueberry Buttery Gingerbread

Thanks to everyone !!

Can anyone suggest a good place to get tins . I was thinking about 16oz and/or 20 oz , any suggestion? What size sells the best. Thanks

I've always used direct heat melters ( 100 pound) capacity. I've found them quick, reliable both in heating wax and the quiialty construction. I have one that's never been used that's for sale . Pm if intrested.

Does anyone know of a Vendor that sells this scent. It's a combination of water, rosemary , lemon's and vanilla. They have them crockpots throughout their store. I think it would be a great scent to have for spring/summer line. It wanted to avoid having to mix it myself. Any help would be appreciated.

I use the following scents , I found them strong ht / ct. Carmel cinnamon latte, pumpkin spice latte, black cherry bomb, Christmas Wish.

I have two spice scents that are blue, both are strong sellers.

I use and love JS Pumpkin Spice Latte, it's has strong cold& hot throw. Her Carmel Cinnamon Latte is good too .

Thanks for the suggestion

C& S have discontinued their Gingersnap Cookies , it was a huge seller for me ... Got waiting customer. Does any one who used/sampled this scent know where I can find it, I'm really starting to panic. Thanks so much

??Raspberry is possible. I mix it with Patchouli and call it : Twigs & berries . It's a big hit , mostly 4th quarter

David, thanks for suggesting blending my own signature scent. I might be able to use thescent I brought by adding some moreapple and pie crust fo. Do think a Red Delicious or Macintosh work for the apple. Thanks again .

Thanks everyone... I'll try your suggested scents as samples.

Hi Everyone.. I know this topic has been discussed before, just can't locate it. Looking for HI Bakes apple scent. Just order/received RE/AHBaked apple HI type scent and was very disappointed with it. Too much cinnamon apple scent. Any suggestions ? Thanks

I'd like the instruction Too !! thanks for sharing. Patti awnl1@yahoo.com

Jeannie , you metioned you use a soy/para blen shipped to you in Pa , I'm in NJ where do you get this wax? Thanks to everyone for all you comments and suggetions. Patti

I've been using paraffin for over 15 years,recently I've been experimenting with soy not to happy with its performance in containers.I tried eco soy advanced, straight. Can anyone suggest a parrafin to soy ratio?I'm hoping to have the best of both worlds. thanks for all you suggestions Patti
