I have the Golden 415 wax. I tell you what, I notice wicks make a big difference. I bought a a 45lb of wax to practice, and I love it. I haven't perfected it yet, but I'm almost there. I also noticed a heating gun helps smooth out your candles at the top. Mine were choppy looking and not a very good site to see. lol
Thank you Candle science, I really enjoy candle making along with your help. The wick guide helped ALOT!

As a newbie, making candles for myself and friends, with almost no experience, no thermometer, running 10-12% fragrance oil and only enough dye to color the candles to "not wax white" I've had none of the issues with "craters" and lumps that other reviews complain about. I generally fill my containers about 90% while keeping the last 10% warm and fluid. When the candle cools, I top off the container with the remaining wax. Tops are flat, no craters or holes. Only a slight "frost-like" look to the top surface. Easily remedied with a hair dryer.

I'm a newbie and making candles for home. I have some failures and successes over the last two years after watching every tutorial available. I bought this wax and used wide wooden wicks with a booster, bought a clear glass pedestal vessel at Target, poured essential oil into 130 degree wax (without measuring), and poured. Not only is there zero frosting, the wax forms an amber puddle of thick bubbly beauty. It's the most absolute perfect candle period. It's mesmerizing. Now I want nothing else. I have to make these for everyone. Not so much hot throw but I don't care. The crackle is subtle and soothing. The color of the wax is creamy and barely off white while the amber layer of clear melted wax is breathtaking. I have found all of my perfect ingredients so please do not discontinue anything. :)

I've been using this soy wax for 3 years. I use a beeswax/soy wax blend and this was the only soy wax I could find that worked well with beeswax.

I’ve been using 415 wax since 2018. I use this wax because it’s 100% soy. No additives. Customers don’t mind imperfections, when they know it’s 100% soy. Anything natural isn’t perfect!
