TallTayl Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 What kind of paraffin wax?some are specially designed for pillar candles to shrink from the mold. For pillars i use a silicone candle release release spray in my molds to help them slip out for the one already stuck put it in the freezer overnight and see if it releases after good and frozen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallTayl Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Is there a brand on your package to help identify what the wax actually is? Looking for the name of the manufacturer, and the type. For instance, IGI 4625, Problend 450, kY143, etc. Paraffin comes in many different blends, some are suitable, some are not. Without knowing which Company made it and the type it is very difficult to be certain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
