Lin Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Im trying to make a smooth candle but it keeps mottling on me and all i have on hand is steric. My question is will steric work by it self if i add more to the wax? I dont want to add more steric if it wont work by itself. Im useing 1343 pillar wax. Thanks Lin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaritamama Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Try adding some vybar. Adding more stearic will kill the mottle, but it will make the candle burn badly. It reduces the melting point so the candle will bulge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveinPA Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Try cooling it in a water bath. That should make the candle smooth and glossy. It works for me. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
