Jojo T. Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 That's good Sabrina and I like the sound of a home made light box, something I need. Or I could take the candles outside and shoot them there, they might melt in this heat though - 38.5C so far today. Nice colour too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybersix Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 Thanks for your kind words!This wax is "italian" because it's the first palm wax available here. But it's not a straight palm wax. Supplier can't give me details (as usual) but form what I see it should be palm mixed with paraffin or other additives. because it doesn't have the typycal feel to the touch of the palm wax I buy in US and is hard as a rock.It always makes a different pattern, sometimes very visible and other very soft.It also throw a bit well of the other palm waxes I have.HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalamazoo Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Hi Sabrina. I really like the look of the candle and it is a great colour too - I love orange! Great photo as well. Did you find the instructions on how to make a light box on this forum? I did a search for it, but nothing came up. Thanks. Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donita Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Hi Sabrina....I love your palm wax candle. The supplier can't tell you how much palm is in the wax? It has a great looking finish. How does it burn compared to your regular pillar wax. And.....thanks for the link for the light box. I am going to make one.....I also have to buy another camera....mine is shot.

Bis Sister, DonitaHi big Sis,you know that italy it's not a candlemaker place. The supplier says it's palm wax. He doesn't even know it makes crystals. He told me that is the same as paraffin but it's less expensive.True, it's less expensive but it does crystalize.. ! I'll keep this secret for me.Have fun with your light box, it's really useful, especially if you have a dark house with no nice corners in whic to take pics as mine!

Stella1952 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I have researched palm wax tirelessly and discovered via one manufacturer's site that there are several formulas of palm wax for different purposes and effects. Like soy and paraffin, all palm wax is not the same...Here is a link to general information about malaysian palm wax...http://www.lipidchem.com/about_palm.html...and here is a link to their specific products. I think many of our suppliers purchase from them...http://www.lipidchem.com/our_products2.htmlWish we could talk more of our suppliers into making more of these different formulas of palm wax available to us...:undecidedTHANKS for the link to the light box instructions - I think that will resolve my photo issues!

cybersix Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 Hi Stella, thanks for the links, I will look at those when I have a bit of time, I have to pour like a mad now!I can only guess what a wax is here.For example time ago I ordered plain paraffin and I got what I used to call "nevermelting wax". It was white as milk and I had to heat it at about 300 F to melt it.The supplier kept on saying it was just regular, plain, paraffin with no additive.Go figure!Glad you liked the light box, HTH!!I have researched palm wax tirelessly and discovered via one manufacturer's site that there are several formulas of palm wax for different purposes and effects.
