harley1231 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I'm wanting to switch to another "hot pour'' soy or soy/blend because of batch inconsistances and the constant need for retesting everytime I order another slab of wax. So what would all you hard core candle makers out there recommend for a hot pour soy or soy blend wax that stays consistant for wicking from batch to batch and still has a great appearance and hot throw? (also, I'm fond of the LX wicks and hope that someone here that uses that particular wick with good results in a particular soy or soy blend wax can help me out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tootie04 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 for hot pour soy I like the 464.Patricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julwid Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I love EL soy wax. I do blend with J50 and have very good results. I am looking to replace the J50 because it has become so pricey so I am open for suggestions as to what else to try in place of J50. Good luck with your search for new wax.

Debbie l Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Right now I am using 100% soy from Millcreek. I have been considering changing, right now I am looking at the 464 from SoyCandle.com.....now if I go with that "blend" can I still say 100% soy or soy blend? I like be able to say it is all natural wax. Thanks, Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can say it's a soy blend but you'd probably have to also disclose what the mix of soy VS parrifin is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I don't believe you have to say what kind of wax it it. Yankee doesn't. The big guys say soy wax but it sure doesn't look like any all soy wax I have seen. I have never seen the type of wax listed on a candle, just soy or veggie but never the percentage. And most times not even that just the name and scent, maybe what city or state but not always. I would not use paraffin if you want a soy candle, there are plenty of soy waxes out there. Maybe you can't pour hot but all waxes have their quirks???? JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marilyn Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 My understanding is that 464 is 100% soy. The additive in it is soy based. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
