Candle Dad Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Can anyone tell me where I can find info about the different waxes and additives that go into candle making? I don't know anything about the numbers or what the vybar and such are used for. Also where is the best and cheapest place to get this stuff?

Everito Bandito Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Here's a couple of sites with some descriptions of different additives. Cheapest can be relative to where you live and shipping charges.http://www.candlewic.com/store/category.aspx?q=cWax+Additiveshttp://www.candlechem.com/additives.htmhttp://www.bakerhughes.com/bakerpetrolite/polymers/vybar/applications.htmClick on product for descriptions:http://secure.candlesupply.com/catalog_page.cfm?queries_index=index7&ProductCodeID=39&ProductSubCodeID=265 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Check out your public library for books on candlemaking. I got the Complete Candlemaker by Norma Covey. It really helps with info on waxes, additives, terminology, etc. Helped so much I went to Amazon.com and bought a used copy. I found it very helpful to have a couple of good books for reference. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
