You're going to be sorry that I found this site! I will question your pants off. Ok, so I used a mottling wax 4045H from candlewic. With no additives it mottled great, however not much scent retention or throw. It said I could add up to 4% stearic. So I made my votives with the recommended amounts of uv and stearic. The tops from the repour mottled decently, however the first pour barely barely mottled at all. I used 6% fragrance, strawberry. Candles looked wet, but werent. I'm thinking the FO amount was ok. I'm guessing I should cut back on the stearic? I'm thanking you all in advance for your patience now that I've joined the network! LOL Chris
