Kaybee23 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I think both pictures of your votives look good, they look like keepers to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topofmurrayhill Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 You're making votives jump through hoops. Pretty soon you'll be the ringmaster of the votive circus. They'll be doing the trapeze and heaven knows what.Anyway looks like a damned nice rustic votive to me. As for the distribution of frost, it gotta have something to do with the cooling rate so you'll have to use your noodle to figure out how that works and how to work with it if you want something different.I think you could also experiment with the amount of stearic if you want. Stearic separates from wax as it cools and that's where the frost comes from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asher Posted December 9, 2005 Author Share Posted December 9, 2005 Stearic separates from wax as it cools and that's where the frost comes from.So, I'm guessing 1/2 pound of stearic acid per pound of wax, then? That should make 'em REALLY frosty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 So, I'm guessing 1/2 pound of stearic acid per pound of wax, then? That should make 'em REALLY frosty.They'd practically be made of frost.What might surprise you is that you absolutely can do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 You're making votives jump through hoops. Pretty soon you'll be the ringmaster of the votive circus. My votives jump through tons of hoops and they always respect the fact that I am the Ringmaster. :smiley2: e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
