Daria Blue Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I have not used soy wax before but I'm thinking of switching to completely soy. The one that I constantly am hearing about is Ecosoya. Can anyone give me their experience with it, their advice regarding it and if you would recommend it. I am making primarily pillar candles, so I'm looking for something with a good outward appearance, throws a scent well and does a nice job layering.Thanks!

Bill Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I just started using the EcoSoya Waxes. The Pure Soy I use for my containers and the Pillar Blend I use for my votives. (I haven't made any pillars yet, one step at a time lol) My first votives came out nice. I used the metal molds with the wick pins and they released easily and looked good. The cold throw was excellent however the hot throw was so-so. I was going to attach a picture but for some reason I am not allowed to do so? If you want let me know and I will email it to you.

Bill Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I also wanted to add to make sure you get a lot of sample wick packs before you order a bunch of one kind. A lot of people have different issues with wicking soy wax. I started with the ECO wicks and have used hemp cored and also the RRD's, all with no luck. I think I am close to narrowing my problem down to the dyes in the wax however, and not the wicks. :undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funnygirl Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I dont use the container wax, but I do use the pillar blend. I wont use anything else! It's a terrific soy wax, and the only one I have tried that I dont have frosting/cracking problems with. Great cold and hot throw, easy to use, etc... I definatly think you will be pleased with it, and I am sure if you start testing other waxes against it your probably gonna go for the PB, as far as soy is concerned anyway. HTH!

Scent Cellar Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Bill, try the CD 10's in the votives. I think you will like the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris77 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I'm a fan of the CD series. I briefly tested the Ecosoya votive blend and was not happy with it. Might go back and test again....am busy with enchanted lites testing right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
