manda Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Hi Everyone, I have been looking at sensory perfections website and Jo has something called MICA POWDERS, Can someone tell me what this is, They look fantastic, but for the life of me I cant find anything on the internet or the forum on how to use them, Can they be used in candle making or are they for soap. Sorry if this is a silly question, just love the look of them and had to find out. Can anyone help.Thanks Mandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britishgirl Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 5g natural mineral mica powder, suitable for cosmetic use in M&P soap, shower gels, body lotions, lip balms, candles and a variety of crafts. Supplied in a re-sealable plastic zip lock bag. that is the description of what they are on Jo's site:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Micas are suspended in candle wax, they do not melt and therefore if you use to much you will clog the wick and have a poor burning candle. They can sometimes look like speckles in your wax instead of a uniform, blended color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenny Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I use mica powder in my ornies and I sprinkle a tiny little pinch on top of my container candles, but like ChrisR said do not use in your wax because they will clog up your wick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
