SouthernGal Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Hello, Everybody!! It has been 48 hours since I poured a couple of testers of Soy Pro. I colored the Hot Apple Pie red. It's very pretty IMHO. There are NO white spots. The tops have stayed completely smooth with no bubbles, no cracks, and no sinkholes. I did not have to do a second pour nor did I have to use a heat gun. All I did was the follow the directions of Melissa from soycandle.com. I have not been able to test the scent throw yet. I plan to do so Monday, May 22nd. I will post the results on scent and let you know. I've got pics but am having trouble getting them on here. I'm hoping to get help with pics and get them posted tonight or tomorrow. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgiaII Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 How is the cold throw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernGal Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 It has been getting stronger by the day. I've had several ladies @ work comment they love the Hot Apple Pie (cold throw). I love to see them drool over them:drool: . It sits on my desk and they just come by and smell it. They constantly are asking me to sell one to them. I don't feel comfortable with selling yet. I still have more testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaVA Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I poured a soy pro candle today. I use a regular JJ, BCN Verbena Berry (a very strong FO) and will post on how it set up once it's cooled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelaVA Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I heated to 170, added 3 drops of Violet dye and 6-7% Verbena Berry FO. Then I poured around 115 into non-heated 8 oz jelly jar. It set up pretty well. The sides are frost-free and look great. The top is a little bumpy. No frosting, but just a rough top. I'll smooth it out with a heat gun tomorrow and see how it looks after that. Cold throw is great and this seems pretty easy to work with.

topofmurrayhill Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Melissa, is Soy Pro designed to adhere to glass or is it a release wax? Also is the pouring temperature important for one-pour performance? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CandleCouture Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Don't give into temptation to burn before it has had time to cure. Wait the full week to really get a good sense of how this wax will throw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brenda (OH) Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I got my sample yesterday and am putting it in my pot today. Thank you Melissa !!!SouthernGal - what temp did you pour at? The range on the directions are quite wide. Angela poured at 115* - did you pour that cool? Also, what wicks are you gonna try first? Melissa was so nice as to add some with my wax but not sure which to start with. I'll keep you all posted on my results.:highfive: Brenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgiaII Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 uummm.... very nice looking candle. nice deep color. what dye did you use and how much??? I might have to get me a sample of this stuffI agree. Can you give me the info on the dye you used also? I'm also interested in the pouring temperature you used for the candle. I got a sample yesterday and am going to give it a try.

Am new and I use a presto pot, I don't have a fancy candle machine but here is what I did..... 1. I heated the wax to 180* 2. I added f/o @ 170* 3. Stirred alot & also added color 4. Stirred some more then when temp. dropped to 100*, then poured 5. I then put them in a box to cool slowly 'cause my home stays very cool.I used the only wicks I have. What type of wicks did you get, what type of containers are you using and f/o? That would help on which wick and size. I can't wait to hear your results.:highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
