This could be entirely my imagination since I'm new to candlemaking, but it seems that I'm not able to get the same texture on rustics with 1343 pellets. The pellet was is more ripply--don't quite know how to describe it. Also, the darker colors (browns, mahogany, in particular) don't seems to have the soft effect that I was getting with the slab. Is this crazy? As I said, I'm new but I'm keeping notes and have been able to get some consistency until this new wax was thrown into the mix.
