jennhalcyon Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Hi all! Just wondering what soy would be a good choice for mixing with my J223. I would probably mix no more than 20% soy in. I am looking to improve the look of the candle (better finish...less wet spots if at all possible), help minimize sooting (although I don't get much right now unless I power burn), and to help in oil retention. I would also love to get the soy to hel give me flatter tops with one pour if possible (in two of my jars I get dips). I am lucky enough to have quite a few options available to me locally, so I was looking for a bit of advice. Here's what I can get:C-3415GW444GW464CB-AdvancedPure SoyCB-135I think from reading old posts I would probably immediately eliminate 415 and pure soy. I think I am leaning toward CB-135 (no repour?), 444 or 464 (10% fo load?), or CB ADvanced (nice finished look).Any ideas? THANKS!!!!Jenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canongirl Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Jenn,I've tried GW444 and the GW464. Both have excellent throw with almost every scent I have tried. I'm still experimenting with it, but I really like it. I like the look of the GW464 a little better though. Very nice and creamy. I've never had to repour the GW waxes. I think if you are only mixing 20%, this won't be an issue. I've never mixed them with J223, so I'm not sure how they will react with your wax. Some suppliers offer samples by the pound so you don'y have to try 10 pounds at once. Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle E. Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 The GW 464 is an excellent wax to mix with 223. I mix the 2 myself with the majority being the soy. It makes a really pretty candle. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
