Denise06 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 but how do you all make an 8oz. jj soy candle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carriegsxr6 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 if you look to the left side of this website, you will see a link with Basic Instructions of how to make a basic container candle with a jar. Use Soy wax instead of the wax they suggest. Different soy waxes have different heating and pouring temps, so you need to find out from your wax supplier what those temps are.

Juggy Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Hi,I have been using ezsoy, liquid dyes and fo from BC. After much trial and error, I melt to about 180, add dye and fo at 170 and pour at 95-100. Looks smooth and creamy on top. I also get better results warming the jars in the oven before pouring.

islandgirl Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Denise, I am not PO.. Sorry you took it that way...Just confused as to what you were asking since you already have made soy candles. Everyone has different formulas that they use when it comes to wax/FO/ wick Combo.. What did you want to know exactly??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denise06 Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 well, isn't there a certain way to make them? everyone does it differently. just wanted to make sure i'm doing it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erin Lea Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Well....I'd say the basic steps are the same: melt wax, pour wax into a jar. But, you're right...everyone has their own way of doing it. Some people warm their jars, some don't. Some pour cold & slushy, some don't. Everyone uses a different type of wick, sometimes different sizes of the same wick in the same jar. There's not a definitive answer to your question because we all do things a bit differently! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
