Judy, USMC Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Oh, Boy! Does this bring back memories! High school prom ... wanted to save the flowers. Got some unscented regular paraffin (used for canning jars back in them thar olden days) and dipped, let set up, dipped again. Got a good coating on them. I think we were careful not to fully encapsulate them. If I remember we left a portion where the stem connected to the flower uncoated. Was it because if they were totally coated they couldn't dry out and would rot under the wax?Were you thinking of dipping them in Rose scented wax?I was going through some of the memorabilia my mom has kept for me at her house over the years. And I was suprised to find those flowers. The petals have shriveled and dried - but the paraffin shape of "the way they were" is still recognizable. Of course she kept them in the living area of the home - not a hot attic. Let's see - it's only been ----- O M G !!!! 40 years !!!! *faint* Quote
Candlebuddy Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Maybe others will jump in ... but I would say that, if you can dip toilet paper, you can probably dip roses. Sorry, not much help. Quote
SoyCandleQueen Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 I would say if you can dip TP....you can dip just about anything. Quote
