Going thru the old forum. Astrolite F?

[Soja]

I was going thru the old forum, Aug. 18 and 19 2003. There are 2 entries called, "Astrolite F3 Rounds" and "Astrolite F3 Square". The patterns of the wax are beautiful so I tried to find Astrolite F3. Astrolite is around but no F3.

Can anyone enlighten me on the info on this patterning or the wax?

I finally ordered my supplies (for those who know, I'm starting again after 20 years) so while I wait, I'm looking at all the old pics getting ideas.

Thanks.

Astorlite F is the wax name....most likely the person was referring to 3" molds

F is a feathering wax a few suppliers that carry this are: TriState, Carolina, Issaquah, and early american......there may be more

another type of wax that has this affect is palm.....but i don't know much about it though

Those are great pillars. Actually, to me they look like they are Astorlite PQ ("Pillar Quartz") - here's one I did - you can see the pattern is the same.

The feathering wax, Astorlite F, looks like this. (This is actually Candlewic's Palm 3 which gives you the same effect). (I did some tests on wicking that here if you are interested: http://www.candletech.com/cgi-local/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=veggiewax;action=display;num=1109546860;start= )

Thank you all for sharing. The effect of this wax is beautiful and I'll try is as soon as I get some 'regular' candle making back under my belt.
