Candle Maker's Notes:
Seeking a stronger hot throw in your melts and pillars? Make sure to weigh your fragrance oils, add them to the wax at 185°F (85°C), and stir for two minutes to ensure the fragrance binds to the wax.

Allow your candles to cure for at least a week for maximum throw.

Great wax for molds

Lisa G 2025-04-25

I love how this wax sets up in my molds, it hardens so well, and I can de mold them easily. I know that frosting is a characteristic of soy wax, but these frost more than I would like when I add color (I use dye chips). Any tips to help reduce this?

Hi I recently bought this wax to make pillar and candles using molds it’s an amazing wax and easy to work with I only have one question about soy wax pillar BW 921 is that how much dye I should add to get the shade I want? Because when the wax cools I get a different shade that what I expected?can you please help thanks

CandleScience responded: 2025-01-02

Hey Nuha! Thank you for your review and we're happy to help. Soy waxes are often much more pastel in cooled wax and it can be difficult to achieve deeper darker colors. We'd love to hear more about what you're experiencing. A member of our Customer Support team is reaching out via email to help out.

I love this wax

Alicia 2024-10-19

Until recently I have beer a container candle maker. This is my first time trying votives and pillars. Aside from the fact that this wax takes a lot longer to melt, this wax is fantastic. Both the cold and hot throws are perfect, and it holds dye magnificently!
