"Much more affordable than buying it from spawn sellers."
"I had to use containers, because the pillars I made turned into something that resembled lava flowing out of a volcano after it was lit for a while."
"My advice is to use this 444 soy wax, get a digital thermometer, get good concentrated fragrances that are really potent and get a scale that weighs in ounces and and can "tear" (Zero out the weight of the pot or measuring cup on the scale so that it will only weigh the new liquid being poured in)."
"I will definitely be restocking on this brand again, soon."
"* Made wonderful candles out of this."
"The wax has "soy additive" which i don't know what that is, and per the seller, is not intended for massage candles- however i will say, what bit i spilled, i rubbed into my hands."

"I had to use containers, because the pillars I made turned into something that resembled lava flowing out of a volcano after it was lit for a while... Then I saw there are different numbers of soy waxes meant for different projects, so I'm using that as an excuse for my pillars not holding... This has admittedly increased the cost per candle I was expecting, so the 'value' is not quite what I was expecting from the other reviews."
"Not saying I got perfect smooth tops every time , but 4 out of 5 candles I did... I've learned, messing with it or moving it after pouring could cause some issues on the surface when it cools... My advice is to use this 444 soy wax, get a digital thermometer, get good concentrated fragrances that are really potent and get a scale that weighs in ounces and and can "tear" (Zero out the weight of the pot or measuring cup on the scale so that it will only weigh the new liquid being poured in)."
"If you can't use that much (five pounds) at once, you'll want to transfer it to avoid spillage of the wax chips, but the bags themselves are sturdy until opened... When heated, if you do a single pour, it does divot a bit in the top as wax tends to do while cooling, but less than other waxes- i've experienced in the past divoting bad enough to have a hole running half the length of the wick...

"Made candles for unexpected gift givings, or hostess gifts. I had to use containers, because the pillars I made turned into something that resembled lava flowing out of a volcano after it was lit for a while. But I'm chalking that up to user error. I didn't really read how to do it, I just poured and figured it would be self correcting to whatever I had planned for it. Then I saw there are different numbers of soy waxes meant for different projects, so I'm using that as an excuse for my pillars not holding. Whatever happened with my pillars, I assure you, had nothing to do with the wine I was drinking while making them (it inspires my creativity)... This has admittedly increased the cost per candle I was expecting, so the 'value' is not quite what I was expecting from the other reviews."
"* I just started making candles and I love this soy blend rather than the regular soy wax with no additives... But with the GW 444, I was able to get smooth tops without a 2nd poor with a great scent throw. Not saying I got perfect smooth tops every time , but 4 out of 5 candles I did... Took it out of the boiler and poured into a Pyrex measuring cup which cools it faster... I've learned, messing with it or moving it after pouring could cause some issues on the surface when it cools... My advice is to use this 444 soy wax, get a digital thermometer, get good concentrated fragrances that are really potent and get a scale that weighs in ounces and and can "tear" (Zero out the weight of the pot or measuring cup on the scale so that it will only weigh the new liquid being poured in)... The 1 ounce is your fragrance which will make it 8oz for your container plus that little ."
"* I've been making candles since my teens, and this wax is a great natural wax. I've used paraffin in the past but i really appreciate the renewable nature of this product... If you can't use that much (five pounds) at once, you'll want to transfer it to avoid spillage of the wax chips, but the bags themselves are sturdy until opened. I noticed other reviewers mention the candle wax didn't seem to hold scent well, I haven't experienced this problem with my candles in the slightest bit... When heated, if you do a single pour, it does divot a bit in the top as wax tends to do while cooling, but less than other waxes- i've experienced in the past divoting bad enough to have a hole running half the length of the wick... For cosmetic purposes, you might want to plan for a second pour after cooling, but again, it's really not bad (and irrelevant the first time you use it). The wax has "soy additive" which i don't know what that is, and per the seller, is not intended for massage candles- however i will say, what bit i spilled, i rubbed into my hands."
