Lisa Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Do you make your candles like it says on the site or do you do it different? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaurieF Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I use their soy wax and go by their guidelines. I heat the wax to about 200 add color and then add fo at 175%. I pour anywhere from 100 to 125. I personally like the wax but never have tried any other 100% soy wax to compare it to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geekrunner Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I try not to heat it higher than 190, then add FO at their recommended temp, 175*. Pour cloudy to slushy. I use 3% BW and UV.geek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
