Lightning Bug Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Don't laugh to hard...I just received my first 2 slabs of wax for canes and I'm not sure what they should look like. I bought CW160 from Swans as the 5055's shipping was just so high to Idaho and Swan's Pete said it would work fine. It is clearer around the edges, but has sort of white splotchy looking areas through out it. Is this normal and will it go away when I melt and pour? Secondly, can I just break it up and put the pieces in my presto to melt? I thought I read earlier on this forum that you can't use the presto for the first heating, but why not? Be thankful, I have Donita's tutorial, so I shouldn't bombard you all with to many questions. :smiley2: Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 That's just snow spotting and it's fine. You can break it up and put it right in your Presto, no worries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Alex is correct.....it just looks that way in the slab. Donita Louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlessjade Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I hope it's okay, because all of my slabs look like that too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Bug Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 Thanks for answering. You know I am a soy soul, so this is all new. Can't wait to get going and play with these and rustics. Have a bit more waiting as I need the rest of my supplies to arrive. Thanks for relieving my mind (such as it is) Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 As a wise man once told me....."Grasshopper......you have a lot to learn"..... (TOP).......all wax is a mystery for us to solve.....or try to.....again and again and again......I have some new wax coming and who knows. But that is part of the fun and the mystery or we wouldn't be here. (smile) Donita Louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
