hisbeloved Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 I thought dividing it would do it but I just was not sure. I felt safer to ask rather than waste ingredients. Thanks for the advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tess Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 /2 ?If you want half - then you divide each component in half. Please be sure to use gloves and some safety glasses too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coco Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 As for subbing beeswax for the candellia, you can but would need to use 1 1/2 times the beeswax as candellia is a harder wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singleyellowrose Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Actually, you could cut that down again. That would give you a smaller batch for testing purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
