Mineral oil or micro cubes for candle adhesion in parasoy


Recommended Posts

I have a parasoy blend I am working on. After a certain percentage of paraffin, I start to lose the afterburn adhesion and get the uglies.

Does anyone use mineral oil to soften up the wax a bit more to stop this, or micro wax to make wax stickier. I amusing this blend for clear ish jar containers. I wouldn’t care if the wax was in opaque jars…

Which microwaxes do you have? Some are stickier than others. The downside is many microwaxes tank HT if used at >a tiny fraction of a %. 
 

i used to like Igi 4786 for rubbery adhesion. Didn’t love the ht or initial burn, so I guess we had a trade off debate with each.
