cbv1 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I have never made a candle in my life, but I am interested in learning how to make soy pillar candles. I noticed Peak Candle Supplies has starter kits. The soy one is for container candles. If I get the Pillar starter kit and learn how to make candles with the wax supplied in this kit, would I be able to transfer this knowledge and just get the correct soy wax for pillar candles, wicks and instructions for the degree to pour the wax to then make a soy pillar candle afterwards? I figure I will need to start somewhere so just the knowledge I can learn with regular pillar candles should help when learning about soy pillar candles. Advice anyone?

cbv1 Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 UM.. just curious. You have over 100 posts on this forum and never made a candle????Yes R.S., I make CP Soap and Bath and Body products but never ventured into candle making. I was thinking it might be nice to have soy candles that match some of my CP soaps... just a thought! I guess I don't have enough challenges in my life....

I guess I never think to ask if they could do something other than what is posted on the website. I will give that a try and see what they say. All they can say is no, right?

OOPS my bad, I didn't think about soap. :embarasse:embarasseAnyways, I bought my started kit through them and didn't want the paraffin wax, they at least took it out for me to keep the shipping costs down. I had to pay for the soy that I got in it's place, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked them out and they have Soy container kits, not pillar like Peak's. I guess beginners shouldn't try soy pillar candles??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
