Any one have a good / successful recipe for making candles and the name of a good supplier of materials other than the bees wax?

I too am interested in hearing what folks have to say. I want to give it a try later this year.
My research so far, looks like Mann lake possibly for the wick. Either #2 or #1
I will also try some essential oil for fragrance.

I am still trying to figure out which wick to use for various types of pure beeswax candles.
Looking for a good tabbed votive wick, a wick for small 1.5 inch diameter pillar candle, and wicks for a short 2" diameter pillar. Can we sell our candles at the State Fair, and what are the selling prices, and how much do we get? Oh, I worked the booth last year and it was fun, but I forgot the link to the price lists and payout list.
Have a great Spring!!
