NoOneSpecial Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Could you please tell me if this wax is resistant to wet spots? If so, which of the blends of EcoSoya are you using? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.S. Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I use CB 135 and yes, I get wetspots. A year ago, I started using the sticky wax sold by GL and that has significantly reduced the amount of wetspotting, but in the dead of winter I still get 'em.

Candybee Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Well I have been using Ecosoya CB135 for about 3 years and have yet to have any wet spots. I make my candles in spring, summer, fall, and winter. But I have always added either beeswax at 3% or parrafin at 25% or more. Currently I make a parasoy blend at 50/50% and quit adding beeswax. I get absolutely creamy candles that have great H&C throw with no wet spots whatsoever.If you want to keep your wax as 'natural' then I suggest using the beeswax instead of parrafin. But don't use more than 5% beeswax or you may start getting cracks in your candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macaroni&cheese Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I use CBA and the only thing I get is the FO "droplets" on the top with heavier FO's but only above 75-80F. I am getting ready to try out CB-135 in my tins, but waiting on the wax to arrive. HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
