Stearic Acid Timing

[Quentin]

In all the stuff I've been reading and hearing from people about stearic, I've somehow missed the part about When to add it to the process. Is it at the start with the unmelted paraffin for pillars? Is it after the melt? At the end? At a certain temperature?

Thanks everyone,

Stearic takes high heat to melt so I would add it in with the wax first thing when I turn on the heat allowing it to melt in with the wax. I do the same with my UVI. Then stir to thoroughly blend it into the molten wax.

Thanks Candybee!  That's the way I had been doing it. Of course, I've only done it twice.

You can add it any time during the melt but the beginning is usually the easiest in remembering you did it.
