JMT Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Hey All,Can anyone tell me if the blends work as well as the straight up paraffin for pillars? I have only used IGI Pillar pure paraffin wax(141 mp) and am worried I get the blend and it's too soft. i thought soy was only good for containers anyway?Anyone who used the blends can you give me some advise? Should I just stay with the pure paraffin>?Customers are looking more to cleaner wax these days.Which of the IGI BLENDS are the best for pillars?thanks allJT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheilaW Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 For paraffin I like IGI 4625. I haven't tried soy pillars yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryk Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 IGI 6028 is one of my favorite pillar waxes. The looks of it are a paraffin but with vybar added - very opaque, but the soy in it makes it look MUCH creamier. Very nice looking IMO.Funny thing - never had much luck with soy/paraffin container blends, but this votive/pillar blend is really nice. I posted a pic once at http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7046 (to append to the post in that thread, I've found braids work best for pillars with this wax - DON'T use LX's if you try it).HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grammafransfixins Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I love making pillars out of the eco soya pillar wax. I love the way they look.. kinda dull not shiney.. and I love the way it burns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
