linwvr Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 I can't really find the answer I'm looking for...How does everone make the chunky container candles? What wax do you use for the chunks and the over pour? Quote
diamondk Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 When I do them I use my container wax for chunks and overpour? HTH Quote
linwvr Posted September 19, 2005 Author Posted September 19, 2005 any specific kind? I usually use j223 but i think this would be too soft to do for the chunks and overpour.... Quote
diamondk Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 When I do chunk containers I use 4786. HTH Quote
laura9259 Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 You can use a very low melt point wax for your chunks. Quote
Candle Man Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 I use a pillar wax for the chunks and a container wax for the over pour. Of course you will have for the right wick because of the wax mixture.To me the chunks with pillar wax work better because of the higher melt point so when you over pour the chunks with a container wax with a lower melt point than the chunks you have a less likley chance the chunks melt or color bleed.

Amylou Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 I use J-50 for my chunks and overpour and it works great. You just can't do the overpour any hotter than 162 or it will melt your chunks. HTH Amy Quote
