I am just starting out making candles.Hopefully will be able to start a business in the future but I'm very confused about some things.Think I read to many threads that were different. For instants.. Are the candles supposed to have the tunneling? From what I've read depends on what you like but no. How deep is the melted pool supposed to be? There are so many different waxes.What is the best to use? There are not really any stores near me that even sell waxes.(I'm out in the boonies and it's 1 hour to closet store)So I go the only thing they I found which is 10lbs slabs of paraffin wax.I made pillars,votives and jars out of it but I see people saying use soy wax or blends for jars or what not and I'm very confused by it all.Does soy wax like melt slower or something or like can someone explain to me the differences of the waxes. Me reading all this is just making it more confusing.I know people have different opinions but what would be best for a beginner to use for jars of any size and pillars and votives.Also are tarts like tea lights or they something only used for the warmer type things? With the first votive and pillar I did came out very smooth and shiny(only have 1 pillar mold and 3 votive molds atm) and the other I made afterward came out rough and had lines through it like i took a knife and carver around them.What made this happen?The molds were cleaned out after each use. And with paraffin wax how do you get less shrinkage? Even with a second re pour a had some shrinkage. Does paraffin wax burn longer than a soy or blended wax? If I blend paraffin with soy how much do I use of each one?
