  1. I'll give it a try and see what happens. It may be awhile before I get IGI 1343 or 1343a. But I'll try it with the pillar blend and see what I get. I'm trying right now a mix of 1lb crystal wax with 1lb IGI 4625. I'll let you know what happens. Thanks for the help again. Scott
  2. Thanks for all the nice comments. It does the mind good to know that your ideas are working out nicely. Thanks again, Scott PS forgot to mention that the second poor is hard to do when you don't have a well to work with. It's pretty much flat and you have to poor just a liitle until you think it's right.....
  3. Thanks firegirl for the links. It looks like letitshineusa has what I'm looking for if I can't get it from Peak. Everito Bandito, I've tried just using 1-3 tablespoons and I don't get any effect on the outside it works well for hardening, but not the "frosting" or whatever look that is called. I like it and I want to reproduce it. Is there anything else I can do? The Crystal wax from Yaley is very difrferent to work with. It pours very thick, and doesn't produce a well. Instead it forms a shell on top. Which makes harder for the second poor. Thanks for your help y'all Scott
  4. Maybe I just used to much stearic, I used one pound to one pound?
  5. I've been experimenting with stearic a little. It does harden the wax quite well. But I'm not able to reproduce any of the effects it's supposed to do. I'm using IGI 4625 (pillar blend) wax. I used a 1 to 1 ratio with this wax. Should I use straight paraffin? And also in my web surfing looking for paraffin, the only place I seem to find a "straight" paraffin wax is at Peak. They are sold out at the moment, I would like to keep my loyalty to them. But how else do you identify straight paraffin wax, some of the vedors call it house blend, regular etc.... Sorry about the two questions in one. I'm still new to this. I love it though!!!!! Thanks for your time. Scott
  6. I used Crystalizing Wax from Yaley
  7. Banana Nut Bread Tie Dye - Warm Apple Pie
  8. Thanks for your help! I'm working on it as I write this! Thanks again, Scott
  9. The mold is usually feels just a little warm, almost room temp. Should I do something different?
  10. I found a f/o at Shelia's. I'll try it and let you know. Thanks for the help!
  11. Why do I get what looks like a sink hole after my second poor? It doesn't always happen. But it happens enough that I've been doing a third poor. Thanks
  12. My sister says she has seen it before and was wondering if I could make a candle for her. She is a Pug breeder and shower. The scent I guess is somewhat sweet?????
  13. My sister asked me if I could make/find a scent called "Puppies Breath". How do i blend this, or find it? Thank you!
