Trae Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I was told by the supplier I got my wax from that additives were not necessary because palm is a natural wax. Just to see what would happen, I added stearic to one pillar and didn't get as much feathering as using nothing at all. They burned pretty much the same. HTH some.

CathyinME Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I don't add anyhting but dye & scent!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giedre11 Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I have added vybar 343 {think that's the correct number!} It is specially formulated for palm waxes and I use it to increase the amount of FO I can add to my candles. Oh, and also UVB inhibitor, because your purple type colors will quickly change on you! One of my testers ooohed and aaahed over my "cool" purple, blue, and pink palm pillar! I told him it was a mistake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hether` Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I use Palm TP Stearic as my only additive. It really does help improve burn time and mold release. I like it too because it has no animal ingredients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
