MoonShadow Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Anyone ever made a nice beeswax and veggie wax blend pillar? I'd love to dabble more in beeswax, but it's so expensive. (Columbus Foods seems to have the best price.$3.59 per pound for white pastillies)I like to make a blend for a nice hard pillar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryk Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 In my experience I would recommend BW alone. The times I tried experimenting by blending it with pillar soy in varying percentages the pillars sooted, though neither wax alone produced this problem. BW is commonly blended with paraffin and I've heard of MUCH better results that way.YMMV of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonShadow Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Thanks Henry. I tried blending with palm too, but 100% beeswax does make a beautiful candle. Do you know if it's possible to color a beeswax candle to "white white?" Even the white pastillies come out an ivory white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryk Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 No, but you can just buy the whitest beeswax you find thats still 100% beeswax. The whitest I've come across is from candlewic. Comes in a type of cross between pellet and flakes - very easy to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
