OFCILynn Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Is there a way to make unscented Palm (Feather) wax white and not the natural cream color that it is? I dont know if adding TD will alter it too much or not. Anyone have any advise?TIAGod Bless,Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcroome2005 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I just use white color blocks that I have. It has worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OFCILynn Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 Hmmm! I am just concerned with using TD because of wick clogging and wondered if it affected the feathering. If you dont mind me asking, where did you get your white dye blocks from? Thanks hon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 When we have poured our palm without dye, it doesn't come out cream - it comes out white. I think the crystals give it a frostier appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OFCILynn Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 Im wondering if it is a matter of WHERE I get my palm wax from. I got mine from BCN and since I bought 300lbs, this is what I will be using at least till I run out! LOL Thanks for your imput! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotmama Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I got my palm wax from a local supplier and mine look snowy white without adding anything, as well. I think they are prettier than any other candle with color!Mama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OFCILynn Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 Is your wax Pillar Palm and is it the feathering type of crystalizing type? Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Mine is 100% Palm Wax from JBN. "Votives & Pillars - Fine Granulated Beads"The "beads" themselves are cream or ecru in color - not white like soy flakes; but when melted and poured, the candles made from it are quite white. I use palm stearic in mine also. It's white, unlike the soy stearic additive, which is the same color as the palm wax. Totally blew my mind, but they both pour white without coloring.

The_Dallas_Texas_Dean Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Lynn, I have used white "dye" to get mine a whiter/brighter white with good results. I have always used the liquid dyes from AAA so I don't really have anyone elses liquids to compare them to. I think they are great.http://www.aaacandlesupply.com/Candle_Making.aspBTW...I think that all of us are getting our Palm wax from Maylasia these days.
