Juggy Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Hello everyone,I have been using ezsoy but have tired of frosting and color changes after burning. I just got some j223 and 415 and am going to try this combo. I have read different things on mixing and pouring. What would you recommend to start with? I thought I would try a 50/50 mix first. I am unsure about the following: what temp to heat to, when to add dye (I use liquid dyes) and fo and when to pour. Also do I need to continue heating jars? I am assuming the cure time would be less. I know this is a lot of questions-any help would be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Did you know 415 is the same as EZ Soy? Do a search, on this board, you will find what they say about both.With a Parasoy blend you can heat up to 175-180*F add your FO & color. You can pour a Parasoy Blend HOT, you don't have to let it cool like 100% soy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggy Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 Thanks for the reply CandleMan. I did a search on several boards but was hoping to find more opinions before I got started. I would like to use more soy than paraffin because I am really just trying to get rid of frosting issues. I think I need to start adding uv inhibitor also to prevent color fading. The manuf says to use .02% per 1/2 lb - I think I need to add 1/2 tsp? I really suck at math and my scale displays in fractions not decimals. I thought I would try 70% soy/30% paraffin first and eliminate the BW I have been adding to prevent frosting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
