Hearth & Harbor Natural Soy Wax and DIY Candle Making Supplies - 5 Lbs Soy Candle Wax Flakes with 100 Cotton Wicks, 2 Metal Centering Devices.

I needed an inexpensive end of school gift idea for all of the teachers and therapists that work with my son throughout the year (18 different people). So I decided to make all natural insect repellent candles with soy wax. I found this deal for wax and wicks and thought this is perfect until I read some of the reviews…I decided to give it a shot anyways. After making 18 candles and burning one as a tester I decided to write a review.I used a pot of water and stainless steel bowl to melt the wax which melted beautifully and clear. I added a small amount of mica dust and alcohol ink along with essential oils after I removed it from the heat. Everything blended smoothly and even. I used the wicks holding them down with the provided sticky dots and started to pour. I did find the sticky dots didn’t really hold the wicks down so using a turkey baster and put a small amount of wax around each wick allowing it to harden a bit to hold them in place. Then I poured the rest of each candle and loved the end result. The next day I tested one to make sure it would light, stay lit and not produce a weird smell or funky smoke which it didn’t! When I decided to add mica for a little sparkle I read a lot of people had issues with the wicks getting clogged and not lighting but chose to do it anyways and have no problems. The wax has the cutest sparkle and smell!I’m extremely happy with this wax and will definitely use it again!

If you have to buy tins for your candles 8oz are too big with these wicks.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:It's not a solid block of wax & is much easier to use---I really like it & will be using this kind of wax from now on.Ease of use:Very easy to use & melts much faster than the solid block wax. GREAT PRODUCT. Will be using this wax from now on.

a great starter kit or a kit to top off the other supplies you have. holds scent very well.

I bought this wax as a first time candle making. Noticed that it doesn't work well to make scented candles. It does burn well without residue. For the scent I have to put double to triple the amount of oil or fragrance. Otherwise, it is very mild scent. I personally, love strong scented candles.

Great product. Helped me make the exact quality candles I wanted

I absolutely love this soy wax. I am actually about to purchase this again today.

This wax is amazing! Great value, you really get a ton of wax for your money. Also, all the candles I've made with this wax burn FOREVER. I seriously lit a 4-oz candle that was in a cup very early in the morning before the sun came u,p and the candle lasted until nearly midnight. WOW! I highly recommend this wax. I will certainly be buying some more when this runs out, but there is really ALOT.
