Bea Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I recently started making candles, just for myself & gifts so far... I was wondering if I can use a triple layer with J-50? (different colors & scents) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredron Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Yes, you can layer J-50. I do it with my Black and Gold candles. Two colors, two fragrances. The secret is to pour the second layer while the first layer is firmly set up, but not cool. When cool, the first layer will shrink, and pull away from the jar. Your second layer will flow into the gap, and streak the first layer. Pour your second layer before the shrink takes place. Repeat for the third layer. You'll have to get a feel for how long to wait for your size jar, but it's not difficult. The longer you wait, the more distinct the layer line will be. Good luck.Fredron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
