stacien Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 I have been using the 464 and usually the 415 soy. I love coloring the candles but everyone I know says the scent they want doesn't end up matching the room they want. I am not interested in custom coloring. So I decided just for my container candles to leave them plain. So I am putting the 464 aside and going for the 415. I have the pouring down perfectly. I always look at all other candle tops to compare. I think we are all to hard on ourselves. I was looking at Yankee and Colonial candles and what a disaster with their pouring. I realize its all injected into their jars but I didn't see one smooth top. Bean pod and root I am willing to bet use a paraffin base. It is too solid for a pure vegetable and too dark with their colors. Quite unusual for soy. Slatskin and Votivo's use too much oil in them and it ends up making them a vaseline like texture. As long as everything is done neatly and the tops look nice and neat and the scents are strong. Why are we banging our heads against a rock then? We are truly our own worst critics.

Plus the discerning public really does like to buy quality hand made produce it's just that we need to convince some of them. :rolleyes2 Sally.
