I love this wax

I love this wax. It melts easily, absorbs odors well and burns completely. I have used candles in my bedroom and living room for many years. I find scents help me relax, and when I'm stressed or have high blood pressure, I've found aromatherapy to do wonders for me. I've tried incense, potpourri, aromatic oil, and the like. But something about candles and flames just relaxes me. The problem I had with mass-produced candles was that even those that claim to be heavily scented were too mild for my sense of smell. I've spent too much time looking at diesel exhaust that I now have a very poor sense of smell. So I started making my own candles. I tried many different waxes before I found this one. I have tried beeswax, paraffin and gel wax. I've never been happy with the results. Many waxes are so-called "double pour" waxes. Where the wax actually shrinks as it hardens, you will need to add additional wax to the candle after the first pour has hardened. This soy wax is a disposable wax. What you see when it's liquid is what you get when it's solid. Now I don't bother tinting my candles, white wax is perfect for me. However, I have made some waxes for a family where I have been experimenting with coloring and this wax holds the color well. The Candle Dye Block at the Candle Maker Store works great. I also use scents from candle makers. This wax absorbs odors very well. Once I've melted 1 pound of wax I need 1 ounce of fragrance oil, no problem. However, the neighbors say they can smell me making candles for the block. LOLA Anyway, I HIGHLY recommend this product. I have also worked extensively with Candlemakers both with and without Revain and highly recommend them as well.
