JudiGa Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Has anyone mixed these 2 together and had any success with them. I will be trying it 50/50. Crossing my fingers, having been try to find a mixture I like every since I moved to Ga 2 yrs ago. Used to use EZ and J223 in Fl but does not work for me here. Makes no sense since there is only a 230 mile difference. The love of wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlemaker74 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Hmmm, I have tried C3, 444, 464, 6006, 6098, 4627, 4642 (J225) and others and so far am leaning toward the 6006 as the best...I started adding 4627 and then 4642 (J225) to the 6006 to help increase the scent throw... still testing...Why would you want to mix the 6006 with another soy wax though?

Tereasa Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 soy wax slows down burn time, allows one to push the fact that they have a higher soy in their blend, helps cut down on sooting, can help with wicking (or make it worse), there are many reasons...

dabbledoya Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Go for it! It's your choice:) Sorry I cannot help you with the mix, I just use straight 6006. Remember that since you're adding more soy to it, you will probably have to cure longer to get a good throw. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudiGa Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 With the straight 6006 I could not get a good melt pool alot of the time, to much smoke and soot, and always a big dip in the top, Had to always use the heat gun and I refuse to have to do a 2nd pour. They did smell good tho. I poured the EZ and 6006 on Friday will post results when I test them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudiGa Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 Update: On the 7th I poured Apple Jack and Spiced Cranberry both BCN at 6% per lb. So only 6 day cure. After only 15- 30 minutes they are AWESOME. After 1 1/2 hours the MP's look great, wick burning clean. CD12 in a 9 oz Apoth jar and CDN 20 in 16 ox Apoth jar. I just wish that the wick would stay straight and not melt the wax to one side. I may try a performa next, haven't had much luck with it in other waxes tho".

JudiGa Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 Still testing the same 2 FO, Spiced Cranberry, and Apple Jack both BCN, the ST is awesome. I am trying, CDN's, Performa's and Zinc's so far the CDN's are winning. Going to pour some more tonight. Will let you know in a week or so. They did smell great after only 5-6 days tho' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ONLY HAD 1 OZ OF EACH FO SO DID NOT TEST THE 9 OZ JAR YET.OH DID I SAY IT IS AWESOME? I AM SOOO HAPPY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlemaker74 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Hi,Was wondering if 1 oz. BW to 5 lbs of para-soy really makes a difference?Let me know.Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I just wish that the wick would stay straight and not melt the wax to one side.Twist the wicks several revolutions after sticking them to the bottom of the jars. It helps equalize the off-center (self-trimming posture) burn of CDs & CDNs. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudiGa Posted April 5, 2008 Author Share Posted April 5, 2008 I think so, the wick burns much cleaner, without it it smelt kinda smokey. I did try 1 oz pp also with no real difference so decided with the 1 oz per 5 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debk Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Hello,I have always just used Ez soy and now trying 6006 wax. I believe 6006 is already an 80/30 mix. I have been reading where a lot of you like to mix 50% EZ with 50% 6006. I use the 8 oz. square mason jars. Should I use the CD12 or 14 with this wax or and LX 22? I also have ultra wicks that I could try. I am at the last minute here trying to figure this out since i am unable to get the 50/50 where I bought it before. I used CD12 in 50/50 wax before. I usually only pour about 1 oz. per lb. of wax. Appreciate some help. I usually have more time to test more. Thanks. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
