chrisasst Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 When you guys mix your own parasoy, do you use more soy than parafin because it is cheaper to buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjdaines Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 People do it either way; more soy or more paraffin to get the wax blend they want. Not sure that cost is a big factor but that is just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravens Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Only time I use soy is when I take out the 6006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I combined 2 votives of 4794 (4oz) and 2 oz of 415 and poured into my 8oz mason jar and wow !! it is the creamiest nicest looking candle that I have ever produced.

e911 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 When you guys mix your own parasoy, do you use more soy than parafin because it is cheaper to buy?When I used parafin, i used it in a 50/50 blend or a 70/30 blend heavy to soy. I thought it worked out well for me, but I'm not really the greatest source of info since I'm a n00b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
