Thank you I just started my candle line launching in February just in time for Valentine’s Day!! I didn’t take a lot into consideration other than the cost of the candles and when I did take everything into consideration I said besides the love and ideas created this business is worth every amount I retail my candles at!! And reading this is just another confirmation.

In reply to D. Just ran across this article, how is your candle making going? Have you found a good scent oil that is not an essential oil?

In reply to Ann Summer. Try adding your fragrance oil at a lower temperature. I add my FO at 120 degrees Fahrenheit stir and pour and candles get a good hot throw cure time 3-5 days

What’s the best fragant or strongest to use with soy wax. I’ve made a few to test but the results were not really good you could hardly smell it at all while it was burning.

Same issues that everyone else is talking about. Soy wax 444. Only great hot throw has been from candle science Apple Maple Bourbon (AMB) and it is tremendous! Knock you socks off. Heavy maple which is fine. I would add a little more bourbon to it next time. Gave it as gifts and everyone says the same: They love it.

Aztec tried jasmine and japanese cherry blossom. Little cold throw and zero hot throw however it sounds like not enough FO was used. Only .5 oz plus about .2 oz jasmine. In a 10 oz jar that was not enough. Trying to do same trial and error as everyone else out there so keep sending comments good bad or otherwise!

I’ve read that you can add more FO to a cool candle on the base by the wick. Going to try this so the wax isn’t totally wasted! At least it looks pretty while burning.

I am looking for a soy wax in flakes that are soft to the touch and not crunchy. Wanting to use it for art on cradle boards by melting it with pigment colors and doing it in layers. Once it is dry I want the wax to still be soft not hard. Would really appreciate some advice.

In reply to Lem. "Natural" is a misnomer. Paraffin wax and soy wax are both byproducts from the earth, so both are "natural". Soy is more sustainable to produce
