Scented Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Nope. Not a clue. Might have/get one if you tell what wax you're using, amount of additives to it etc. Need way more detail than they flake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaxMunky Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Alrighty...Try adding some Vybar to your wax.I use 1 teaspoon per pound of wax.Working with the dyes,start out by adding just a few drops at a time.Mix and then test it by dropping just a little bit onto some wax paper.When it hardens up that will be the color.Hope this helps.Munky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnjieBurdett Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Are you getting rustic? What temp are you pouring at? If you're after smooth and shiney then you have to pour hotter and have the mould in a water bath - I think - I don't do smooth and shiney very often If you pour cool you will get a rustic look with a frosting on it.
