CandleLytes Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 All you all for using pure soy, or do you use a para-soy blend? If you use para-soy, do you make your own or buy one from a company? The reason I am asking I have just about had it with the soy wax I am using. These frost marks are killing me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ring of Fire Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Soy blend I make myself for tarts, paraffin, CB, for jars.Sometimes I do add some soy to the CB for jars, just depends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfcat Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I'm currently using a parasoy blend for my jars but it has been discontinued so I'll be searching for another or mixing my own.I really like the parasoy blends over the pure soy. My tarts are pure soy using a blend of soy waxes I have left over. When soy only is requested I use C3 for jars and have had pretty good luck with that as far as frosting and wet spots but it took a lot of work.People don't seem to mind the frosting as much with the tarts. In fact I think it makes them look cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleLytes Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 I am in the prcoess of designing some candle labels which I hope will camflauge the frost marks for the most part. So people really don't mind a para-soy candle as to a soy candle? That's my worry. Now I am having a new problem. I recently moved and ever since when I pour a candle, after it sits for about 24 hours it has what looks like a crack around the top of the candle where the wax maeets the jar. What is it? Sometimes it isn't even either, may go down the candle about 1/4" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
