CandleLytes Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Poured 4 soy candles last night and I want to cry right now. 2 had fingernails and frost marks (despite all the additives that "claim" they will prevent these) and hours and hours of testing and hoping the candle "turns out right". And two cracked. Talked to some of my customers who have been return customers and asked them how they will feel if I go to paraffin candles. All said they wouldn't care, they just like my candles. So that's what I am going to do. Might daddle in para-soy some time in the future but not for awhile. Thanks for listening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debra Phelps Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Girl I gave up on soy too. I like the 6006. It sure is easier to mess with. My customers like it better. Not saying anything bad about soy. I just didn't like it. There are wonderful soy candles, just not mine.:embarasse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleLytes Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share Posted November 1, 2008 Fingernails are little white cracks sometimes just in one spot, sometimes in many. Mine always seem to happen at the top of my wax, all the way around. Not to mention freakin' frost marks!!!! LOL... it's going to be so nice not having this headache anymore. Woohoo!!!! I'm free!!! I'm free!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tootie04 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Oh OK....I like to blend soy and paraffin. I think the two make a very nice candle.tootie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleLytes Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Yes they do! I invented my own 70/30 blend friday night and the candle burns great. even two days later and then scent throw is scent-sational. Ha ha. get it? Anyway... don't know why in the world I tried to go all soy. Silly me!!And guess what, the headaches are gone! (So far anyway!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
