candlenewbie Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I'm new at making candles ( I'm still ordering supplies) and wanted to know if anyone can give me any advice on Kysoy wax or any other soy wax that I don't have to add any additives to and votive candles. I'm not sure if I should start off with votives or try to jump right into cintainers. Help :embarasse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marilyn Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Not sure I understood your question but as for the KYwax, some add beeswax to KYSOY but you dont really need to add anything to the KY125. To make votives you should have a votive blend. They are easier to make than containers. I started with votives. Were you asking about not adding something to container wax to make votives? I'll just say that personally, none of my votives turned out good that I mixed additives with container wax to make. Had to use the votive blend.

Candlebuddy Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Ky125 is container wax, I use it for my jars. For votives, I use Ky Natural Pillar/Votive wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faith105 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Hi candlenewbie,i use bluegrass soy and bluegrass fragrances and have great luck with them.I add stearic to harden but you dont have to with this soy,and as far as votives i have only used the votive blend from candlesoylutions,it worked for me.Good luck;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
