I've just started making candles and have decided to go with the soy wax. Does anyone else use it and if so, how do you like it? So far I love it. I would still like to get any advice on how to use, how much fragrance, etc.

This time around so far its been 17 days, I have a huge amount of orders to fill plus a bazaar next Saturday and absolutely no wax to fill orders. Has anyone else had t...

Could/would someone be so kind to tell me how do I make WHITE candles. I understand I need to add something to the soy wax, however, I have no idea what it is.

Has anyone ever used paraflint in your candles? I read where its good for a nice glow (especially with hurricane candles). The websites all seem to say no other additives however. I have to add microcyrstalline so will it still work to give a nice glow? Thanks
