Josette50 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I am using Paraffin GenWax 128 I continue to get these white blotches through out my candles... I have to add sterin or they wont burn...the wick hits the melt pool and goes out. I have tried and experimented with different wicks. When making a Novelty that I dont want to burn, I dont use sterin and they come out looking nice and colorful with no problem of release. I use liquid color and frangrance.I am just making pillars, and always have a lil extra wax so I just make a votive or 2, they burn fine but are not pretty.Any suggestions ?? I am about ready to quit after a large $$$ investment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DatCandleMaker Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 It sounds to me like you need to add vybar. Vybar makes the wax opaque and helps it to bind with the FO. It will stop the snowflakes you are getting. There are 2 types of vybar, one for lowmet and another for high temp wax. Check on your supplier's website. They will have the specifics. Do post a pic! Congrats on getting started. Don't give up, you will get it! Dat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
