j1workman Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Hi!I want to make some votives, but I don't have any votive wax. I do have container wax IGI-4630 and pillar wax IGI 1343A. I know I could just go straight with the pillar wax, but I do want them to be a bit softer - anyone ever use these type of waxes for votives?Thanks for your help!

artcwolf Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I used to use the 1343 for both pillars and votives was able to get away with 6% FO, and 3/4 a teaspoon per pound of vybar 103 to make them smooth. I used CD-4 wicksmy testers said it had a nice melt pool, but a few FOs weren't to strong (Ginger lime and Vermont maple from C&S) it didn't tunnel, burned evenly the whole votive.
