CandlesNMore Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Hi All. I know i've read this answer on here somewhere but didn't write it down and now I can't find it. Can you buy stearic acid or vybar local and if so where do I look for it.Thanks, Silvana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Yes as in local in the U.S. I can't buy it in my home town, but if you think about where it's sold ... check candle suppliers ... you will find it for sale virtually everywhere. You can probably still find it at local craft stores for a mint more than from a supplier.Add: Also known as sterine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Hobby Lobby and Michael's has it, but seriously, you are better off buying on-line and paying shipping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandlesNMore Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share Posted October 6, 2006 I'm sorry I should have said in my home town. I have a hobby lobby here but I was told they don't sell it. Micheal's is about hour and half from me. Thanks for the replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Hobby Lobbys and Michaels around here both carry it. If yours doesn't, I'd try Michaels. You're looking for white flakes. Either it will be called steric acid or sterine. Check out the candlemaking sections in those stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Its not always easy to find a good supplier in your home town. You have a great supplier in a neighboring state-- Candle Science in Durham, No. Carolina. You can order stearic for $2.79 in a one lb bag at:http://www.candlescience.com/additives/wax-additives.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
