I use 75% percent J223 & 25% 1343A for my melts and love them. my personal opinion here, but try to find some mixture that you do not use any "crisco" in.
At Wal-Mart or such. Just ask back in the craft section and they can guide you right to it. You have probably seen things made from this just don't realize it.
I love the presentation. If you like to dip go for it, double your money! But as stated previously think about injecting also. Either way,or not at all;Beautiful!!
