Lightning Bug Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Hey everybody. Just a question...tried the search, but it didn't come up, so...Do you use joy wax and if so, can you tell me the pros and cons? It sound good, but just wondered how much paraffin is in it and does it burn clean? They did say that you could mix soy up to 50% max. with it. How does it wick? I need something for the 8 oz. sq. masons and so far my 100% soy has been a big 0. Thanks for any info. Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrs_scurry Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Hey Terrie, I was going to give her that information...LOL You are fast!! I received my kit but I haven't been able to make the candles yet, but I was extremely pleased with their products that I received and their service!!! I am just waiting to get the candles going. They have food grade paraffin in it I believe is what it is. Here is their link.http://www.naturesgardencandles.com/candlemaking-soap-supplies/item/JW-1 HTH!Veronica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrie Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Yep..Joy is 98% soy, 1% food grade paraffin, and 1% botanicals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Bug Posted September 8, 2005 Author Share Posted September 8, 2005 Hi Terrie! Not trying to be critical, just curious. I tried to get NG to give an estimated soy % and they refused. Just wondered where you got the 98%? I don't know if I really care the % if the burn is good and the scent throw fine except that I would like to mix my hard to wick soy with something that will still burn ok. Thanks.

Terrie Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Actually, NG used to list the % of soy right there in their description of Joy! They don't list it any more. All of a sudden, I guess, it is proprietary info. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BethI emailed for that same information and was e-mailed back by Dreama to tell me that the manufacturer of the wax won't disclose that info. How funny that they used to print. Now though, it makes me wonder if any of the %'s have changed? :undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scent Cellar Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Does it have a MSDS info sheet that you can decipher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
