First Candle attempt. Soy and paraffin candle

[B.T.E.]

This is the first attempt with making candles. My team and I made 4 soy wax and 5 paraffin candles with using 8 oz mason jars. 6 wooden wicks and 3 cotton and 0.5 fl of FO. The soy has a very light scent compared to the paraffin but the has a better smoother top where as the paraffin started to sink when cooling.

Update:

All the candles so far burned but one. I currently been burning a Sandlewood FO with soy wax and a Tobacco/Vanilla FO with paraffin wax. The sandlewood soy wax has a very faint scent throw but the paraffin wax has about a 2 foot scent throw (guessing on the paraffin scent throw). I only used a 0.5 fl FO.

So what do you prefer more? Soy or paraffin? I once spoke about soy candles. This material is easier to find, and some flavors can be added there, so it’s okay that it doesn’t smell so much

Those sound like amazing FO's. I have been making soap and making WAY TOO MUCH so I thought I would venture into candles. I am patiently waiting on my supplies.
