jennifer Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Does anyone know what the blend percentages are? I'm just wanting to know how much paraffin and how much soy. Not specific waxes. I would like to know so that I know if I can label it the same way I label my own blend or if I will need to add more soy or more parafin to achieve approx the same percentages in my personal blend. Does anyone follow this at all cause I'm not sure I'm making sense.TIAJenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Ky is one of the suppliers that give very little if any info about what is in their blends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennifer Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 Ky is one of the suppliers that give very little if any info about what is in their blends.I was worried someone would say that. I had already emailed them asking just the percentages and told them I wanted to know nothing else and they didn't answer. Anways...I guess I will probably mix in more soy for my peace of mind so that I can call it soy blend rather than para soy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I guess I will probably mix in more soy for my peace of mind so that I can call it soy blend rather than para soy.You're not afraid you'll alter its performance?Since you brought it up, how are you using this wax? I make votives and someone is sending me a couple pounds to try out. I've got 36-24-24z and LX12 wicks that I'll try first, though I haven't seen anyone else using those in this wax.Darbla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennifer Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 I'm not technically using the wax at this point. I am only testing. which is why I wouldn't be worried about blending it because I should be able to detect different performances in comparison to the straight para soy that I have tested with a bit already. Plus I don't make votives at least not at this point--I would only be using it for melts. HTHJenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesignsofAutumn Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I think I remember reading somewhere(can't remember where I saw this at) that there is more soy then paraffin in the blend and they call it a soy blend when they make candles. I think it said something like a little over 45% paraffin, but did not go into how much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think LX10 or LX12 would work fine. Right now I am testing it with Eco wicking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
