Making Soy Candles

Sun, 09/13/2009 - 07:25 — jnewport

Help please. I have been trying to start making soy candles. I am having alot of problems with getting the wick sizes correct. I have only been using HTP wicks because I was told they are the best. Also, my votives are not burning right. I tried using HTP 31 and 41 and they are not burning well. Does anyone have any help with the wick guidelines? Also, if you don't use HTP doesn't that make it not natural? I am very new at this and need all the help I can get. I am using Ecosoya container blend CB135 and for the votives I'm using Ecosoya pillar blend. My containers are 8 oz tureen jars, 9 oz hexagon jars, 8 oz colonial jars and 6 oz travel tins. I appreciate any and all help I can get. Thank you, Jeanne

wick guide

Go to candlescience.com and go to the wick guide. It will ask you what type wax, type of candle and it will give you the best recommendations for the wicks. I have found it to be very helpful as I had no clue what type of wicks to use when I started making tealights and what they recommended works perfectly. Hope this helps, Good Luck!!
