Grani L Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I ordered a pie topper mold. Are these pie crust tops expected to melt into the rest of the wax when burning? I am not sure if I should be using the 140 Degree or 160 Degree Melt Point wax for the pie toppers. - Also does anyone know what is used to pour the wax into the small blueberry mold holes? The mold seemed larger in the photo, but it is small. I didn't even think of it when I ordered the mold. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flicker Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Is the rest of the candle gel or paraffin? If it is gel I recommend 160-165 mp paraffin for the embeds but toppers are fine to use a much lower melt point on, with gel I normally would use a basic pillar paraffin with a mp range between 138-145. Now if the candle itself is made from soy or container paraffin, then I'd recommend actually using the IGI 4794 votive blend. It's plenty hard enough and yet has a low enough melt point to burn fairly consistently to the container waxes. Hope this helps you decide!

Grani L Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 Ok - I have some 4794. - I will be using container wax to make the candle. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
