liberty Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 It just says 130 MP Container/Votive ParaffinDescription: Perfect for votives and all types of container candles. It is a high quality straight parafin so it is semi-translucent and mottles nicely without additives. It blends nicely with most additives so that you can acheive different looks.Type: ParaffinMeltpoint: 130 MPPrimary Use: Container candles and votivesPackaging: 10-11 lb. slabsWick Suggestion: Zinc core, cotton core or Heinz corelessRecommended Pouring Temperature: 180-190 degreesInstructions for Use: Heat wax to 200 degrees. Add scent and color and let wax cool down to 180 degrees. Wax will give a smooth looking effect when adding the additives and without additives you will get the mottled effect in the candles.

Georgia Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 It's a generic paraffin imported from Japan. The website says it is for containers, tarts and votives. And you want to know what to add to it to be able to use it for containers and tarts? Fragrance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liberty Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 It is listed under their votive/tart wax on C & S website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liberty Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 What additives? I tried using it without FO and using only color It has a big shine to it and its really oily.Didnt want to add FO because my friend had tried using it and brought her tart over in a zip lock bag the tart was white again and all of the color and FO was liquified standing in the bottom of the bag.So I was trying to see what it would do about holding color.

topofmurrayhill Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Add about 1 or 1 1/2 teaspoons of Vybar 260 per pound of wax. That should let you make tarts with about 1 oz fragrance per pound.If you click on Basic Instructions over on the left you can use the same formula and follow the instructions for making votive or container candles. The wax won't stick to the glass much in a jar but it will work if you choose a relatively narrow container like a jelly jar. Keep it to 2 3/4 inches across max.Have fun.
