DanaE Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Okay, here is an attempt to make a mottled pillar using the Fisher Trop. I should say ahead of time that this pillar came out completely dry, no seepage at all, which tickled me.It's 4045H, 1/4 teaspoon of vybar 343, 1/2 teaspoon of Fisher Trop and 3T stearic. It also has 1.25 ounces of FO per lb. I actually made 7, but they seem to be stuck in their molds and this is the only one that came out so far! I've done 1 burn on it so far. After 3 or 4 burns I should know if the wax is going to bulge or not. At least I'm getting a lot of FO in it without seepage. DanaE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Like the color combination. You say the others aren't coming out of the molds. Sometimes I have tried to take them out too soon. You could also try putting them in the fridge for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mtngrl Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I did a search to find out what Fisher Trop is, and, as it turns out, I have some, called clear xls from P'ette, which I added to my 1343 to make 'canes prior to getting the 1554 wax. I'm just wondering .... I understand why you're using the vybar 343 (help w/ mottling) and the stearic (to help hold the FO, to decrease FO from seepage), but why are you using the Fisher Trop? I'm curious why you're increasing your melt point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I believe they're trying to make the wax harder to prevent the bulge when burning. Correct me if I'm wrong please...Added: That's a nice mottle you got going... can't wait to hear burn results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
