dillypooh Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I want to try these and I have some 1343A wax. Is this the same as 1343 wax? Will it work? Thanks so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judyvega Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Yes, Dillypooh, it will work - there is 1343A and 1343N, the difference is that the N will not mottle - 1343A is what I use. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eugenia Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 3 T and flat here, LOL. The most important thing is to use room temp molds and pour at 150 degrees. Cool on the counter at room temp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
