CandleLytes Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 (edited) As most of you know I was recently told to pour my soy wax at cooler temps. I was pouring at 140 or so and frosting was my worst nightmare... couldn't seem to get rid of it unless I did my own parasoy blend, then I couldn't really advertise my candles as "soy" because they they had paraffin. Someone at a recent show suggested pouring at 100 and so far... all I have is beautiful candles with added BW which helps with the smooth tops. Not only did I get rid of the headaches and frustrations that came along with my darn candles, I got rid of an additional cost. Woohoo. Double whammie! I just poured 1/2 dozen candles. I will post pics in the morning. Night everyone! Edited November 7, 2009 by CandleLytes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soy327 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Can't wait to see them. Thanks for all the info, I will try that today. I have put 2% BW, but that stuff is $$$$, thought I'd try 2 tsp CO instead. How did those cute coffee cups come out? Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
