Lolas Lights Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 for containers and pillars can I get that is mostly translucent? Any help on this would be appreciated. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherie Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 IGI 4627 was pretty translucent for me in containers. That being said, some people have had trouble getting it to throw. I was able to get a muted pink translucent pillar (actually 97 of them) with IGI 4625. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Julie G.'s Buddy Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 1343 for pillars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc26 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 More Details: Melt Point 139. Great for translucent overpour & chunks.This fully refined paraffin wax has a great translucent quality and is perfect for chunk pillars or votives, and is pliable enough so it makes a great Cut & Carve wax! It's also the most popular wax for dipping bears. Good mold release and burn charachteristics. This wax can also mottle and produce a great rustic look with certain fragrance oils and no other additives. This wax will require repours. does not have a high FO load though! only 3% by wieght! It is called semi -translucent I have found that it is about as good as you get for transclucency. I have heard about a clear pillar wax. I think candlewic carries it, but I have not tried it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawaiiansun Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 for pillars 1343 do't know bout containers someone will chip in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanaE Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Any of the mottling waxes will look pretty translucent if you don't add FO, so 1343, 1274 or 4045H would all work.As for containers? I haven't seen a translucent container wax, but I see no reason why you couldn't use something like 1343 in the container. You may have to test a few wicks to figure out how to wick it, but I've put pillar wax in containers many times. (because yeah, back when I first started making candles no one said I couldn't do it so I did it! Same reason I made J223 votives! lol)DanaE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
