kari357 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Hi everyone, I'm new to this site but I've been reading your input for couple weeks now, very infomative. I've been making soy candles for more than a year now and you guys have helped solve some of my problems just by reading, thanks. I was wondering if anyone ordered Calsoy from Swan and do you know approx. shipping costs for 50 lbs. Thanks again, you guys are great.

ashncandles Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 That depends on where you live compared to them. I'm in TX and for shipping of a 63 lb case of wax from a supplier 2 hours from me, its $20 just for shipping.HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kari357 Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 Thanks fo answering. I'm from near Chicago and I often order from Miller Creek, they seem to have the cheepest prices on wax and the fastest and cheapest shipping then others I've tried. Wanted to give Calsoy a try though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kari357 Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 What wick do you use with Calsoy? Do you know what type of blend calsoy is? Thanks for your response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carriegsxr6 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I have used RRD and HTP wicks Calsoy has two different container waxes which are one pour and need no additives.One is their CB3 which is Mostly Soy wax blended with some other vegetable waxes. I don’t know exactly what kind of other veggie wax, but it does not have any paraffin in it. They have another blend called CB2 which is soy based (usually 70%) with paraffin added (usually 30%). I am not exactly sure the amounts blended but those are the standard amounts I have seen with soy/paraffin blends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kari357 Posted December 2, 2006 Author Share Posted December 2, 2006 Carrie, thanks for all the information, you're a doll. I already ordered from Mill Creek but I'm definately going to try some calsoy in the near future. By the way, lots of snow and ice here (Chicago area) yesterday and today Brrrrrrr!
