Can anyone tell me why my soy candles burn extremely low and then will go out.
Thanks Regymom

I was just curious to know if there is a recommended time I should wait to test burn my container candles. I usually wait a day...should I wait longer? Or can I burn them as soon as they are cold to the touch?

I have several clay flower pots and I need to seal the hole in the bottom. Does anyone know what type of product I should use? I also want to paint them (inside and out) can I use any acrylic paint or does it have to be a candle paint?

Thanks,
Robin Sydnor

Many people ask us, "How do you get wax from a soybean?" Well, let's start with a sixty pound bushel of soybeans...

The Phytowax candle waxes are the culmination of 12 years of research, testing and product improvement. We created the very first soy waxes anywhere in the world. We have have dedicated the time, expense and effort to develop the best. We get comments from many Village Chandlers that have tested all of the soy waxes and vegetable waxes presently on the market. The overwelming report from many Chandlers is that Phytowax performs the best by a huge margin. Each Village Chandler is encouraged to test all other waxes and reach your own conclusion on wax performance and ease of use. Phytowax is easy to use and produces exceptional candles.
