Huckleberry Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Guess I should start off with asking what is a good soy wax to try, and do I need some additives for it ? I see some of you get wicks from Joe and that is where I have got mine for several years now. Joe is a great person to work with. Are there special wicks to use in soy?This will get me started...

geekrunner Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 If you really want a good first impression with soy, try the Golden Brands 464. You don't have to add anything to it to make it work right, and it's the easiest to work with (so far). Check out the GW464 test thread. Also, I'm having good luck with the Premier 700 wicks Joe sent me as samples. He is quite generous with his samples! I like them better than HTPs now, and once I get eveything tested I'll be buying my wicks from him. Good luck! geek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelaVA Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I would try Ecosoya CB Advanced. I've poured this wax at every conceivable termperature and it looks great no matter what I do. No frosting, crackinc or sweating. It also has a great throw and is pretty easy to wick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallawayCandle Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I like enchanted lites soy wax and I also use eco wicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 geekrunner would you mind telling me where the wax comes from? Same for you AngelaVA.. I have to be open for different wax. Candlemama I suppose you use BC's fragrances to? I was on there web site yesterday and saw that they have fragrance for soy. Will and of this soy work for tarts, pillars or votives? I know some wax is made just for the tarts,pillars and votives. I do sell allot of different types of my candles and I make cake candles and hate to give them up but I cannot see making them with soy. Maybe I am wrong.. if anyone does make soy cakes Please let me know. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Makin Momma Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I use BC's oils, too. THey are awesome! They even have a chart that tells you what they have found to work in Soy and what doesn't. That way you don't waste your money on something that won't work.Personally I use this for my tarts, too, but some don't like to because it's a softer wax.

AngelaVA Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I get the Ecosoya and C-3 from Candlescience. They are fairly close to me, so shipping is pretty reasonable. They have great customer service too. I like Snowtop, Just Scent, Millcreek and Nature's Garden for oils. If you order from Just scent, put in your order by phone. Becky is super-nice to talk to and will tell you honestly about which oils work best in soy and what they smell like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tested the GW464 so far with Eco's and CD's...am preferring CD's at the moment. Still need to try a couple other wick samples I have but I've never heard of the "700's".OOps...just saw the thread below about these wicks...please ignore.!
