spudbag Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Recently got 10 kilos parafin wax. The supplier stated that sterin was required, however if I added sterin I got a badly mottled effect. If I left the sterin out I still got the same effect. I have tried adding different quantities and re-heating(this seems to lessen the effect a little) but nothing really works. Any suggestions:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Not sure what wax you have. If you don't want the mottled look, just add vybar103 to it if it's pillar wax, v260 if it's container. Good bet that UA will curb the mottling too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudbag Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 Thanxs will try it. It is pillar wax just forgot to add that bit on, (still not really surprising at 2.00 am). Nice to know you can get advice even at this hour of the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sed8ed Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Steric Acid is great for hardening your candle wax and increasing your burn time but doesn't do much for motteling. Vybar 103 will eliminate any mottling and so will Universal Attitive. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
