CandleLytes Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I am thinking about makiing chunk soy candles and wonder if there is a certain soy wax that will show the chunks well? Thanks for all your help. If not I will go to a para-soy blend, and would like some suggestions on those as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin146 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Hi I make chunky tarts and votives. I use the EcoSoya PB wax. What I do is I color my chunks and leave the overpour uncolored. They come out really nice and you can still see the chunks. Regina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella1952 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Me three - even a parasoy blend is not going to be translucent like paraffin, so it's best to use highly contrasting color values for best results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleLytes Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 Thank you all. I appreciate the answers. That's what I was thinking. I am going to try one today, will post a picture if it turns out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleLytes Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 I was also thinking about making soy chunk containers candles. I am thinking that I could still use the Eco PB for my chunks and then use a Pure Soy for my over pour and pour very low. What do you think? Or should I use a container wax for both chunks and overpour? Also I made a S'Mores chunk candle & chunk tarts and a Baby Powder (blue for boys) container chunk candle and tart. I will post pics tomorrow if ya all want to see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LynnS Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I use the pillar blend and the 402 soy wax as the overpour. They turn out but don't seem as pretty as some I have seen.I think those are pariffin candles. I did use brown as my chunks and not as pretty as I wanted and should have made them darker.That way the chunks would stand out. Still going to work on these more. Want something different than a solid color candle. LynnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
