    I have used RRD and HTP wicks Calsoy has two different container waxes which are one pour and need no additives. One is their CB3 which is Mostly Soy wax blended with some other vegetable waxes. I don’t know exactly what kind of other veggie wax, but it does not have any paraffin in it. They have another blend called CB2 which is soy based (usually 70%) with paraffin added (usually 30%). I am not exactly sure the amounts blended but those are the standard amounts I have seen with soy/paraffin blends.

    i usually add a little brown or if you just want to use red, you would need to go up to 12 drops of EVO dye per pound of wax. 16 drops per pound would be the maximum to use before it starts clogging up the wick. When you add this much dye you may need to wick up one size as well.

    very pretty, I love this scent. I made some last week but was afraid to color it cause I knew it would turn brown. It came out a light brown color and I was actually happy with it. But now I see yours and wish I would have colored it. :embarasse

    I use a tablespoon to measure mine. 1tbl is equal to 1/2 oz FO most of the time. Some FOs are a little heavier than others, so you may get a little more than 1/2 oz sometimes, but I never have any problems measuring this way.

    I like the morning juniper suggestion. Hey BTW would you be willing to part with 1oz of this FO? I can pay you or trade for something else?

    I find the 40/42 Lavender EO is the best smelling.

    wow thats going to take alot of gold mica to cover 32 of them. they look adorable though. great idea.

    I use 7oz of wax with 1/2 oz of FO. That is around 7% FO load.
  20. Carriegsxr6
    you should also try backing off to 1oz pp with this FO

    The pomace OO I get is a lot lighter in color that the extra virgin OO i get. and the refined or light OO is almost clear.

    are you making melt and pour soap or cold process or hot process? colors for M&P will not hold up in the CP or HP method. Here is a site that sells colors http://www.thesage.com/catalog/index.html

    Its just a soy thing. The reason you can prevent these tops when you initially pour and cool them, is because you are controlling the temps.

    I have had my c-3 wax expand on me over time. I think it may be called blooming
