The Easy Way to Making Soy Candles E-Book by Jameel Nolan
If you can't make it to my class, this is an excellent e-book. I highly recommend it. It is up to date with great resources for suppliers and written by a soy candle maker. There are plenty of books on making candles with paraffin but I have not found any books on making soy candles. In the long run, this e-book will save you lots of money from not making those costly beginner mistakes while learning to make soy candles.
