My first mottle


Recommended Posts

If you don't mind me asking, what wax are you using and just how did you get that splendid red color. I just started messing around with pillars and still not too good at it. Would appreciate some tips on red. I hate that color. Never seem to get it right.

I used peaks mottling wax igi 1274 and red liquid dye from the candle source. I was just messing around so i did not write down how much red i used but when i make my wickless i use like 10 drops pp to get a dark red. I stop using the color blocks becuase i could not measure how much i was using.

hope that helps :)

Thank you so much! I too had bought some of the color blocks and it was killing me! I guess the perfectionist in me was unsatisfied. It really bothered me that I could not accurately measure how much color I was using. Will definitely have to try the wax though. I appreciate the info. I wonder if the red will still come out as good in a parasoy blend? I have the 6028.

TIA
