Gbhunter Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I make 70% soy-125 and 30% 4144 paraffin wax. I use a 2 tsp of steric in a 12oz jar(its wider in the middle then on top or bottom). I cannot find a good wick. I get hang up on the edges or the jar gets very hot . I tried beeswax instead of paraffin but got into the same problem. I use a 5% F/O load. Any suggestions? The beeswax is so expensive that even 30% is not practical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I don't use those waxes but my mind went to cutting back on the paraffin..maybe try 80% soy 20% paraffin. Those uneven jars are a pita to wick anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 What benefit does the stearic give you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
