Holly Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Hi,I am finally getting close to where I would like to try making votives. I figure by January or soon thereafter I can start. I have been testing and trying to master container candles since last September and I am ready to move on to trying something new. I mean things can always be better with the containers, but at least I have a decent container candle to offer. I would sure hope so after all that time, money and testing I did. santa roll santa wink I would like to start off with the easiest of the votive soy wax. Which one is your favorite? I am sure that some are pickier than others. Do most of you here that use soy use soy for your votives too? Most likely you would, but I do also offer some paraffin blend candles so it would not be out of place to offer a paraffin votive. I don't think anyway. I would like one that gives a strong throw. If the soy votive wax gives as good of a scent throw as my Calsoy CB-3 than I would prefer to stick with soy. Look forward to your thoughts. Thanks! ~Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StvNicksFan Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Ugh, I'll tell you that this EcoSoya VB is giving me one heck of a time! From chatting and reading around, it doesn't sound very popular. But, everyone has different experiences I guess!James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaybee23 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I use the KY Pillar/Votive blend and I really like it, has a great throw. I am going to try the new GF 423 this weekend and see what it can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I also use the KY votive/pillar wax and just love it. It has a great hot and cold throw and sets up so nice and smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFTS Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I use naturewax V-1. Be sure to use UV inhibitor though, or they get dried out looking after a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixylight Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I really love KY's votive wax. I have found I need to do a slight repour but I have had very few problems with this wax and I am quite new with votives.santa cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
