Soy candles ~OT ~ Candlemaking w/soy wax

[Guest guest]

i make candles, and i do a blend of soy & paraffin

with hemp wicks. Since i do molded candles, i find

i need to use a bit of the paraffin to get the soy to

release from the molds well; soy wax is so creamy

and soft ~ which also makes it such a nice burning

candle. Love the hemp wicks, too.

Happy pouring & wax tending.

Not really, but then i make a soy-paraffin blend

with hemp wicks... molded pillars and votive size

mostly. i think if i were to go to straight soy, i would

need to make container candles instead.
