If you have a Super Wal Mart, they carry it, it's usually right where the Crisco and cooking oils are. It's known as 76 degree coconut oil. If no Super Wal Mart, like I don't, you may have to get it from a Health food store (I get mine at Henry's when then have it on sale.) You can buy it on the internet, but I found with shipping, it's cheaper at the health food stores. I haven't seen it in any grocery stores around here, but it doesn't hurt to look.

Usually you see frost start at the sides or top, but with soy...expect anything. You can add 1/2 tablespoon of 76 degree coconut oil pp of wax and it really, really helps with frosting issues. The temp your adding your dye could be affecting the color also. If you are using solid dyes, try to melt them prior to adding the wax. When I colored my soy, I used to melt the dye in my glass container in the microwave, then add my hot wax to it and stir it a bit and then add my fo and stir for 3 minutes straight. Stir periodically during the cooling process. It really helps with color to mix thoroughly. As far as adhesion goes, if you wash your glass properly and never touch the inside with anything but the wick and sticker you shouldn't have adhesion problems. An occassional wet spot may be caused by cooling too quickly.
