Daisyd'Light Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I like there 464. I'm still testing wicks and FO's, but having great luck with 700 series wicks and Millcreeks FO's. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candledog Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Tried the 444 and it seems a lot like natures garden pure soy, if you've used that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernGal Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I love the 464. I get great adhesion, smooth tops and I love it's creamy appearance. I find it easier to wick (but I use cd's & papercore wicks) and easier to pour @ higher temps. The throw has been incrediable for me & I get awesome responses from others.I've tried the 415, it's okay but I found it harder to wick with certain f/o's.I've been testing the 474 votive wax and I'm loving it, too. But these are just my opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iammommytwo Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 the 464 gets my vote as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixiegal Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I plan to start testing 464 as soon as it comes off the ups truck, Iv read many good things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silkysoycreations Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I read the discription on both of these waxes, 444 & 464...similar but different melt points. My question is since it's 98% soy and 2% soy additive can you say it's 100% soy? Someone posted on here that 464 is 100% soy and since it doesn't state "100% soy" in the description I question if you can say that?!

tyru007 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I've tested the 464 and really wanted to like. You can pour it hot and get a decent looking candle. I always got varied amounts of frosting with each candle, even in the same batch, side by side. Always seemed to get frosting of the bottom of the jar and a little on the sides. I liked the wicking but I found that the 464 was almost too soft with a mushy texture that I just didn't like that much. I will probably keep experimenting with it. The 415 is a pure soy and very similar to CB-Pure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pocha Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I am a "newby" to soy and the 1st (I only) wax i tried was the 464...I really like the smooth tops and it was easy to wick (you can wick down). I get a little frosting, usually a few days after pouring, especially if there have been variations in temp...but no one but me seems to mind it! I initially had issues with the scent throw but i think longer curing has solved them...(at least 5-7 days curing is necessary, IMO). Overall, from what I have read...in comparsion to other soys, it seems like it is relatively easy to work with and gives good results. AND it is inexpensive ($34/case) which makes it possible to ship (I live in CA). HTHLili Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
