old fashioned mottled look


Recommended Posts

Hi Ronzo!

I used to make mottled candles! They are gorgeous! I make them for myself now,unless someone requests them.

Anyhow, I always got my mottling wax from Candles & Supplies in PA..I used their 125mp paraffin.Everything is all added into the wax so all you have to do is melt,bring it to temp.,scent,color then pour.I will warn you though..when I did my very first batch I checked on them and they weren't mottled! I started freaking out..I called the company and they said I hadn't waited long enough to trust them they will mottle.Next day they did..it takes a while though.Before they mottle they look translucent.

I hope this helps a little.

Why don't you make them anymore Kim? I love the mottled look and seriously considered it before deciding on glass glow palm.

They burn pretty clean for parrafin, as long aas you keep the wick trimmed, and there is not much wasted at the bottom...I tested them and tested them, you can pretty much burn them until there is nothing left , although we all know that is not reccommended......:tiptoe:
