brempel Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Hi Everyone,I am wondering I need to make a pillar. I only have wax left that is for making scented pillars. Can I make one with this wax and not add scent? Will it affect the burn?Bev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 It will affect the burn dramatically.Wax you would typically use to make a 3" scented pillar has too high a melt point for a 3" unscented pillar. Some people try and compensate by replacing some part of the FO with mineral oil, but this doesn't produce nearly as good a result as matching the wax to the application.As the diameter of the candle gets smaller, the melt point of the wax needs to be higher, so it might be good for a 2 inch pillar.
