Soya Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I've been having problems from day one with my cold and hot throws. I finally bought some beeswax this weekend. I made 2 candles using the BW. OMG! There is a big difference. I lit them today. WOW! Just thought I would share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 What kind of wax do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soya Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 I am using the Ecosoya Advance (original version). I really don't know how anybody can get a good throw without adding something to this wax. That's just my opinion though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintagemama Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Can't wait to try adding the BW to see if it helps. I truly love this wax but the lack of throw is such an issue. Can you share how much BW you found effective? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryk Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Its great that its working for you. It never seemed to do much for me in the FO department, so I quit using it. (It does make the wax even better looking - if you can imagine that - I just stopped using it to streamline things). Maybe the version 1 that is out now is different that the stuff from a year ago - I don't know.When I tested BW in CBA I posted a lot of information at http://www.candletech.com/cgi-local/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=veggiewax;action=display;num=1113016238;start=(This was with the first verson.)How much BW did you use?Thanks.

Soya Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 I added 3%(bought at Michaels) and 9% FO. In tin containers. Used Peaks...Juicy pinapple. LX24 wick. Poured at 115. Room was very cool...69 maybe. I put one candle in the bathroom. Cured one day. I went in about an hour later..after lighting it..and I couldn't believe my sniffer! I had absolutly no throw without the BW. So I would know the difference....havent had one candle with a decent throw for months that I've been candlemaking. After a week or so...maybe I would get a liitle something. But remember I just started using this version 1 a couple of weeks ago.I am in between wick sizes though. What do I do....find another wick Brand? Go down on FO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryann Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I luv using beeswax too. Anything higher than 3% may leave cracks right away or in a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soya Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 Maryann... Do you see a difference with throw too! Or am I delusional? Ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
