rjdaines Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 IGI 4639 or IGI 4794, those are my favourites. Use 4794 for holiday gifts and have had nothing but compliments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 What is your favorite wax for votivesSince this is the veggie wax forum, I am assuming you are asking about veggie wax votive formulas...I use EcoSoya PB & NatureWax V1 for soy votives. I use PB because it is reliable and available, although I prefer V1, but it's harder to source.My favorite wax for votives is starburst palm wax. Makes lovely little candles with good HT and a nice burn time. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wessex Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I like feather palm and starburst palm. I also use them as a mixture and get incredible HT. Also look very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravens Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 IGI 4794, CBL 129. Great HT from both. These are paraffin, though. Tried votives with the Ecosoya PB, and they were ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon44 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I just bought some starburst palm from Peaks. Can't wait to play with it. Could someone suggest wicks for votives?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 CD 5-7 depending on the particular size of the votives and the amount of FO used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried votives with the Ecosoya PB, and they were ok.My experience with PB votivies was not all that great either, they had wonderful HT but I didn't like the way they burned, an aesthetics thing.

Candybee Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Come to think of it I've had the same experience with PB. Great HT but the votive burns wonky. But it makes awesome tarts!Don't make votives much but if I do start making them I want to definitely use a palm wax like feather palm.
