I am a soapmaker, but I LOVE candles. And have made several for our home. (SOY)
I was at the local farmer's market this past week and purchased a candle from a local candle maker. She said is was a combination of soy/paraffin. Her price point is good, and I will continue to buy from her. I really think I like it better than the soy that I have made, and that I have bought from others. Thinking about trying it myself.
After a little research, I see I can buy the blend (IGI 6006). The issue is I just don't make that many candles for myself, however, I do have some soy wax.
My question is can I mix the soy/paraffin myself? Would it be a certain ratio? Or can anyone point me in the right direction? i.e. links, etc. I did a search today and found a lot of viewpoints on the subject, but no real "how to". Just wondering if some of you candle experts can help? Or should I just try to experiment on my own to see if I get something I like?
