Thanks Grama, I've also got some 1286 because it does state containers and votives and pillars, but i just havent got around to using it yet, because i want ot use up the other first. Here's the specs on the 1286, I do use the vybar 103, which is what CS suggested for the 1343 This is a great versatile wax and useful for tealights, votives, containers, tarts, pillars and refill candles. Without addtives, it produces a mottled candle with a nice shiny finish. A smooth creamy candle can be acheived by adding 1 tsp. of Vybar 103 or 1/4 oz. Microsere per lb. Type: Paraffin Meltpoint: 130 degrees Primary Use: tealights, containers, votives, tarts, electric candles, pillars, grubby candles, pies etc. Wick Suggestion: compatible with any wick Recommended Pouring Temperature: 180-190 degrees Instructions for Use: Melt wax to 180 degrees, add color and scent and additives if desired. Pouring cooler at 160 degrees or below will produce a nice mottle and pouring warmer will give a more sporatic mottled appearance. I'll give the 1286 a try tonight and see what happens....I'll keep you posted
