Paraffin/vegetable blend users???

Can anyone please tell me the pros and the cons for this type of wax? Thanks

I love this blend personally. It is clean, not overly difficult to wick, as I've found anyway, and I've had great luck w/ hot throw without a very long cure. Smooth set up and tops, nice color, if you use colors, and creamy appearance.

However, I will caution you; the major difficulty I've experienced, and others have as well, is with pre-blends. There can and have been consistancy issues. You may not get the same results from batch to batch. I think this is a normal issue when using a natural component. But it can drive you NUTS! :rolleyes2 Maybe folks can control this more when blending for themselves. I just never had the patience for that.

HTH!

No frosting, beautiful candles, fast cure time and great CT and HT. Fairly easy to wick. It does still have some issues with some wetspots. Overall I just love working with parasoys.

I use Paraffin/Soy Blend for all tarts and votives. The pros takes color well, has great scent throw hot & cold, creates a very creamy looking votive. No cons on it from me:grin2:

I use the 70/30 wax from Clarus. True, there are batch issues but overall this wax performs right out of the chute. I can pour on one day and sell the next without waiting for a cure. I know this wax like the back of my hand and can always predict wick sized with most any fo I use. You just can't get that with any other blend IMHO.
