topofmurrayhill Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 How much would I add per pound of wax for the mottling?It really depends on your wax and what kind of effect you want. I'd start conservative and try 1/2 oz per pound. If that doesn't do what you want you can increase it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillary Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Would this also work with j50? I'd like to try mottling containers and j50 is the wax I have in excess at the moment. TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make mottled containers you need to use straight paraffin - J50 won't work at all. You could try some IGI 1288B from CandleScience. If that's too far from you I may be able to help you find something closer.Unless you want to make them unscented you won't actually need mineral oil. The FO will mottle the wax.

Hillary Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I thought that was kind of a long shot. I did look at Candle Science and I think that's probably as close as anyplace else. Thanks. I'm trying to use up what I've got before I order anything else right now, hence, the j50 question. So much wax to try, so little money!
