I used IGI-4625 wax. The only additives I used were the coloring chips and the bottles of scented stuff. All the stuff came in the kit.

Hello candle makers! I've been peeping in on this forum for months now and I finally gave in and bought one of those starter kits from Peak. I must say that making candles is much tougher than you guys make it look! So far I've made four candles (maybe I'll post some pics later). I've made some dandy errors with each of them :embarasse but still I had fun. I've got a couple of questions for anyone who could be so kind as to point me in the right direction. 1. What does mottle mean? 2. The candles I made are all very shiny. What do I need to do to make the texture look more...(what's the term I'm lookin' for)...uh...more like unpolished granite. Not smooth or translucient. No spell check...grrrsanta wink
