For the people who don’t quit on it, soy wax is wonderful.

Agree. I melt mine at 160F max, cool it down to 135F then pour the FO. Pour to the vessels at 120F. Boom. I got smooth tops with these method.

@Kathleen Schmitz Cheers for the Video! Forgive me for butting in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you thought about - Honulian Wiffy Remover (probably on Google)? It is an awesome exclusive guide for making money as a candle maker minus the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my m8 at last got excellent results with it.

AmIam I use a fragrance load of 7%-8%. I use C3 Cargrill wax. (Other waxes Ecosoya, Golden 444, Golden 464, Golden 415, Soy 120, Soy 125). As you see there’s tons out there. Takes a lot of testing. I’ve settled with C3. Same for Coconut or Coconut/Soy. Every brand is different. Some better than others. Both have challenges but soy is more cost friendly depending on your budget.

I’ve been mixing and testing for about 9 months with 100% soy and have yet to get a hot throw. It’s so frustrating. I refuse to start selling my candles until I get a hot throw. I’ve lost out on so much money testing 100% soy wax and even buying the most expensive fragrances. I just ordered your coconut soy so I hope it works!

@chelseahodge6085 Год назад

I look for 100% natural products that are eco-friendly such as soy and beeswax and stay away from things like synthetic wax that has plastics and other chemicals that are not safe to breathe. As a beginner I've had very little issues making soy based candles, another thing I don't quite understand is why you would want a completely smooth top when it's just going to melt anyway but that's probably just me. I do like the advice though on the coconut based soy wax and will definitely give it a try and maby compare it to my 100% soy. 💙

@chenng3800 3 года назад

I have too worked with soy for a year and only in the last 4 months just managed a great hot throw. The cold throw was always amazing. I use golden wax 464 in a 30cl container and double cl10 wick with a 8 to 10% essential oil mix. I also cure my candles for at least 2 weeks with a cover in a dark room at room temp.

I am currently testing my candles that are 100% soy and I'm a tad...annoyed due to the weak scent throw and frosting. It also seems like I have to let the soy candles sit for 2 or so weeks before any real scent is detected on the hot throw. I received my wax sampler from you yesterday, as well as the chocolate honeycomb scent, and I can't wait to test!

@malikamelodi4860 3 года назад

So how much we can mixed the coconut oil into soy wax?

@makesyofficial 3 года назад

Hi Malika! Making your own blends can be challenging for consistency. Also most candle waxes use a hydrogenated oil versus regular store bought oils so that they don't go bad. Try a pre-blended coconut and soy wax like our Virgin Coconut Soy.

@keliciamclean3030 Год назад

I use 100% soy and I love it because the techniques I use create creamy smooth tops and strong cold throws. The hot throw, in my opinion, has to do with your wick size. Practice and practice and improve.

@grantschroeder3676 3 года назад

I have only ever made candles with soy and paraffin wax and the soy wax makes less of a crater on top. Plus who cares if the top of your candle isn’t perfectly smooth just light the darn thing and enjoy the candle.

Is it a good mix ? And what is the ratio of soy to paraffin? I want to mix them too but I'm afraid to get low quality because of paraffin

@makesyofficial Год назад

We recommend trying a wax that holds fragrance better than 100% soy such as our Deluxe Satin Soy and increase your % load to 10-12%. Also get a second opinion! Olfactory fatigue is real and sometimes we lose the ability to smell fragrances we've been working with for a long time.

@luckysportQuick 10 месяцев назад

Is soy wax actually 100% soy? I thought manufacturers blend it with paraffin wax?

@makesyofficial 10 месяцев назад

There are pure 100% soy waxes out there! But most people use soy blends because they burn much more easily

@morganwilliams228 2 месяца назад

so really its cosmetic is the issue here not really about the practicality?

@makesyofficial Месяц назад

Hiya! :) It can also impact the performance of the cold and hot throw occasionally

@jennalen7922 2 года назад

I totally agree. And burning something like soy wax or paraffin wax actually cause the same issue. Just the market game. Soy wax is not the environmental material.

@adaw332 2 года назад

Let's all help each other! Use me to comment: a) if you have already figured out your ideal % of essential oil (Y/N) b) what % of essential oils was that (x%) c) at what temperature you added the essential oil to the wax (x° Degrees Celcius) d) at what temperature you poured (x° Degrees Celcius) Make sure to specify: 1) what type of wax you used (if 100% soy, when possible, specify if it's 464, 444, etc.) 2) are you sure your essential oils were 100% pure? (Y/N) 3) what essential oil you used (lavender, eucaliptus, patchouli, etc.) 4) If you have already figured out the wick size and all the rest. (Y/N) (This so that we can be sure that this is not interfering with your results)
