WOW! Thanks everyone. I put in a sample order for htp's only because it was local and cheap. I know some people on this site use them, so I figured I'll work my way up (we're REALLY broke right now:cry2: ). Thanks for all the feedback!

Type of wick to use in all soy candles? Just thought I'd get some feedback on what types everyone likes before I buy a sample pack. I wanted to try the Hemp and Eco but haven't seen much about them. I'm just doing containers..not near ready to attempt the pilliars or the like. So what's everyone's fav??

I didn't think there was much out there:sad2: . Oh well. And I definately would be lost w/o this board. Yay for Candle Tec!!!

Has anyone been able to find a book that helps with soy wax and other natural waxes?? What book/s do all of you use? I need something for a quick referance and I learn fast when it's right in front of me.

Wow I was going to post the same question:D . I make soy container candles, just in the 8 and 4 oz jelly jars right now. And I'm really just starting out at a lot slower pace then I'd like. BUT I'll catch on with all the wonderful help on this board. My name is Luna's Light. I would love to find something with a cresent moon on it or something. my brains fried right now of ideas:confused: . Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks so much for all the helpful tips!! They'll all be useful. I saw the post about wicks before too. Definately a great idea! What are candle melts?? I think I have an idea, just not positive. Thanks again;)

Thanks so much to the both of you! I figured it would take some time, this board is really helpful. I don't know anyone else personally who does this so this message board is a life saver! Another question that's in relation to my previous one....I currently just melt 1lb of soy wax at a time. If you are to test each batch what are you suppose to do with the ones that you poured out of that batch if they're bad?? Does that make sense??

Just curious to what everybody does with all the "test" candles or the ones that turned out not so good. I'm very new at this and am using soy only. I've only done container candles as well. Do you clean out the jars and reuse them for future candles? How much loss do you endure? I'm a stay at home mom (well I work 10 hours/2 days a week at a salon) and we're trying to be careful to not go broke trying to make money:rolleyes2 ! ANY advice is really appreciated:) . Thanks.
