  1. The websites below have a great deal of detailed info on all the different types of soy waxes and fragrance oils, and on how to mix for different applications. The ‘Candlemaking 101′ section at the first site is particularly good.
    Hope this is of some help!


  2. Soy container candles are one of the easiest ways to get started in candle making. The basic machanics are the same for most container candles (molded/pillar candles are a little more complicated), but soy wax generaly does not require additional additives (although you can add them to improve burning), other than scent, and do not require “repours” like most other waxes.

    There are some good sites:
    (good for info, videos, etc) (great on-line group) (good instructions) (a very informative site) (projects and more) (checkout the picture page) (I’ll answer questions :-)
    Hope this helps!
