Think I'll wait until I start of line of soy candles for that though.No rolling your eyes now, I don't exactly know what type of wax I have:tongue2: . I purchased 50 lbs of plain parafin with a melt point of 133F to 135F at Hobby Lobby before I knew that there are so many different waxes available. And of course before you guys started educating me.I used 1/2oz of essential oil and 3tbs stearic per lb of wax and it's burning well. After burning three times at 3hrs each the sides are slightly curling but not too badly. I'm going to make a candle with Eucalyptus and Cedarwood Atlas EO's tomorrow, good for congestion wich we need in this neck of the wood this time of the year. Hope that one will burn as well!!!
