Hi,you must be in the military or married to one, am I right? My sister's a pilot's wife and lived there for awhile. Alabaster would be closest,HTH http://www.alabastercandlesupply.com/about.php
A few years back I bought a large container candle from Wal-Mart, chocolate pudding, don't remember the brand name. When I burned it, it had a plain white core, unscented. I'd heard of this but never really thought anyone did it, until I saw it.
You can find one in a diy/home improvement store. I've got a professional one and it's been working for years. Mine was a paint gun, painters used it to heat up old paint so it would peel off easier. For light ones you might find one in a craft store.
