goosebay_1999 Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I just got my new oils today from NG. What % do most of you start at with 100% soy? I usually use 6% and tone down if need be. What are some of your experiences?I got the following samples:Tayberry & TeakwoodHarvestBalsamBlack Cherry BombDowny Morning Glory & HoneysuckleDowiny Water Lily & JasmineFresh Cut GrassJack FrostMisbehavin'Satin SheetsMojitoRaspberry ZingerSnow AngelsTIA!

Pam W Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I've used the black cherry bomb but only in paraffin and it was strong at 6% - if I ever put it in soy I'll use less for starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvcandletarts2 Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I heard the black cherry bomb was really good!PamW: Doesn't soy need a little more fo than paraffin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goosebay_1999 Posted April 8, 2006 Author Share Posted April 8, 2006 I want to try to use a little less than 6% but do not want to waste wax and oil by starting too low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam W Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 The 6% in paraffin was a too much for my taste (or my sniffer in this case) and I haven't done anything with 100% soy. I'm not sure what the norm is on increasing the % for soy. Probably wouldn't go below 6%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goosebay_1999 Posted April 8, 2006 Author Share Posted April 8, 2006 I posted here in the veggie section becasue I specifically wanted to hear from other soy users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
