Sharon in KY Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Got the wax coming but before I pour? I just wanted to make sure FO does not stop the mottle effect. And if the wax I am buying says it's for mottling then should I still add steric? (Mottling Wax for Pillar/Votive Candles - 4045H)Thanks and I ordered Vybar 343 & Palm TP Stearic - A-25 just in case I need it. Hope I bought the right thing. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Vybar343 is for mottles ... so is regular steric. Just advising to use it to cut down on the slim that mottles can produce without it Fo shouldn't affect the mottling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 slim, does that stand for something or do they get slimmy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 LOL! SLimy yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth-VT Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 You did fine. You will love the 4045H...it's mard to NOT make it mottle if you want it too, lol. You'll just have to play around with the stearic and decide if you prefer it or not, and why. I use it to help firm up the candle a bit and reduce bulging with my prefered wick size. Someone else may prefer a smaller wick with less or no stearic. Someone else may prefer more, etc. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
