Guest OldGlory Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 That's totally normal. Soy just looks weird after you burn it. It will do the same for your customers. I see you are new - It always helps when you post a picture with a visual description. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 When I worked with 100% soy wax I would get weird tops after burning. You just need to learn to embrace it. Or start using additives or try making your own wax blend if you want to get rid of or minimize the uneven textured tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helix Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 What type of additives would i use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
