Bitter Creek Candle Supply,
Inc. introduces the most amazing new wax in candle making today, The EZ
ParaSoy! What makes this wax so special? Well we are glad you asked!
We have for years known that the blend of paraffin and soy was like a marriage
made in heaven. Paraffin waxes have long been known for their beautiful, creamy
appearance and their ability to easily accept most fragrances with amazing hot
and cold scent throw. Paraffin candles also have amazing, vibrant, bold and
beautiful color and can use literally any type of dye. But paraffin wax can
tend to soot some. Soy is a bit more selective with fragrances and most
certainly with colorants. Soy tends to pit and grow if exposed to temperature
extremes or it will do so if not poured at the correct temperature. Soy can
also tend to frost which to some is unacceptable, but it is so clean burning
and that's the beauty of soy! We have found that this hybrid blend of paraffin
and soy creates the very best of both worlds! EZ ParaSoy creates a candle that
is smooth, creamy and beautifully colored weather it is a pastel, bright, bold
or dark color. EZ ParaSoy creates a candle that is cooler burning with reduced
soot like that of a soy candle! EZ ParaSoy has PHENOMENAL scent throw both hot
and cold! It's the perfect marriage between two waxes!

used to make container candles and wax melts

Instructions for use:
Heat wax to
180-195°. Once wax reaches desired temp, add your dye, blend well then add
fragrance and again blend well. This wax should be poured between 165-180* into
heated containers. This wax will not adhere to the jars under normal
circumstance, instead it will pull away.
This wax WILL likely need a slight top off to fill any minor sink holes. Since
this wax does pull away from the container, this will need to be done within
the first few hours after your initial pour or it will pour down between the
container and the wax. Just re-heat the remainder of the wax from the first
pour 10° hotter than the first pour, just up to the original pour line.
*For jelly and mason jars
or other jars that are taller than they are wide, we recommend pouring the wax
at about 185-190° into heated containers and cooling at room temp. The
increased pour temp will allow for more even cooling and less sink holes.
*This wax also works
excellent for Clamshell wax melts poured at 150°, no additives needed. I would
not recommend it for tarts made in molds though.
A MSDS for this product is
available in a printable format here
For testing purposes, we offer for sale, 10 pound slabs or bags of wax.
*We can only offer recommendations as to what wax will perhaps work best for you but we cannot guarantee any certain wax to work best in any application because of the many variables involved. The only way to determine the appropriate wax selection is by experimentation. Test burning will be necessary to determine the best wax for your candles!
