CandleLytes Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Someone told me that when I make a paraffin-based chunk candle to use 1239 for the chunks, and 1343 as the overpour. Is this what most of you use? My soy chunk candles turned out great with a little tweaking of the recipe here and there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wick'n'Wax Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I use normal paraffin. I just make sure I pour the overpour slightly cooler than I make the chunkshth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rae Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I use the same paraffin for the chunks and the overpour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donita Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 It depends on the look I am going for. Sometimes I like to add vybar and stearic to the chunks to make them opaque then over pour with just stearic added. When Candlewic's CBL 141 was reliable I liked it for the chunks and the 4045 for the overpour. Then something went wrong and the CBL started "rippling" in my sheet pans. I quit using it and just used the 4045 with stearic and vybar. Sometimes I don't add vybar. Without vybar and just stearic I am able to get nice jewel tones.Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
