topofmurrayhill Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 My thought is if you had significant burn off in wax, aside from the vapor cloud, wouldn't there be minute bubbles as the fo deep in the wax vaporized? Although most would not be visible in opaque wax, I would think some should show up in containers on the glass.I think you're on the money there. One reason I believe the burn off is negligible is that you only get bubbles under more unusual conditions. When adding FO to a melter at too high a temperature, it doesn't cool down the wax as much as adding it to a pour pot and I've seen bubbles with that. You can also get them from pouring into overheated glassware. But normally all you get is evaporation from the surface of the wax mixture and that can't be much.
