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!!
And since instructions are to ADD 2 to 3 TBLS etc... TO bath(by shaking in or by scoop) hopefully water would not be added to the product. That is my thinking when I sell this.
I like this idea!! Now to Dig out the plastic canvas from the closet. I have made more then my share of coasters and tissue boxes with this stuff. Yrs. have gone by, now a useful purpose for it!
Haven't tried doing the spool of wick. Just a few yrds. at a time. But sounds to much for me. Just order primed wicks. (may have to think of this for first :tiptoe: spool buys though)
I guess I am in the same boat. FB as seem to work for me from the beginning "in pillars" Not much luck so far w/ LX. So I will leave well enough alone. Maybe LOL:laugh2:
I use 3 TBL. w/ FB or CD wicks HTH helps with ideas. And wow 5 TBL. Stearic. ( Not say it wouldn't work;never tried); but what is the benefit of that much?
I fill my to the top as well. just try not to let the wax run onto the outer edge(closer area). You will get used to closing & opening them in a short time. (I Pull the top just a bit to close & open) HTH and makes sense.:rolleyes2
I rcv'd an e-mail from my bank(Bank of America) to update my info due to inactivity of our account!!! WTF I was LMAO. No I didn't open it. Our account is not idle for more than one day at a run. I called my local branch to let them know that I had rcv'd this "joke of the day" email
Gosh I am not going to be able to answer your ?? because I refuse to try making them. But on a possitive note; when I was in N.J./N.Y. LAST march a friend of Ashlie's gave me one. It has been in my DD bath all this time & EVERYtime I go in there it always has a great scent throw. Was just thinking of this this afternoon. HTH on your decision of making them. Go for it , I'm just not that patient.
