Top, I really enjoy your posts, I learn a lot from them, but I have to read over them a couple of times as some of this stuff is so technical that it doesn't sink in my brain too fast....that comes with old age I guess. I am trying to learn all I can about waxes. Even if I never sell anything put containers, I still like to experiment for my own pleasure. Thanks again for your help in this. I will make a mottle if it takes me til next year. LOL Thanks to all those that have chimed in and helping me with this paraffin wax problem.
