Thaiphoon Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Hello everyoneI going to make cut & curl candles but in my country are not waxes for carving. We have many kinds of paraffin waxes so there is no problem for making core of the candle. Unfortunately those waxes are not flexible enought to make cuts and curl in them. I'm sure that you know some formulas how to make own wax for carving. Please give me any recipe :smiley2:Best Regards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricofAZ Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Good questions and I do not know what to mix with wax to make it pliable.You should now know where we all buy our wax. The IGI 1343 is supposed to be good for cut 'n curl.http://www.lonestarcandlesupply.com/products/candlewax_igi-1343-cut-n-curl-wax.htmlI would think that you could order a slab of it and get it sent to you in Poland. Might take a week or two for delivery, but you'd have some good quality stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaiphoon Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) EricofAZ thank you for help. I have visited a lot of online shops located in USA sience the idea about making caut&curl candles has borned. The problem is that the shipping will cost me a lot and the delivery time is quite long. Additionally when we order something from other country than European Union we pay extra charge for it. I was trying to find any online shop in Europe but with no results. A representative from NGI in UK send me some samples of wax. I will see it is good enought for carving.I found some shops in UK with this wax but the prices...it is daylight rubbery Best regards!

viczye23 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Thaiphoon have you tried 4candles, they are one of the best for prices. The dip and carve wax is £17.4 for 5kg or £57.99 for 20kg, you do need to add VAT to that though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaczor Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I am from Poland. We don't make this kind of candles but if you want I can make an offer for you. We use many different wax to make our candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricofAZ Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I see I posted 2 1/2 years ago. I will suggest that adding microcrystaline wax to your normally high temp hard wax will soften it up a bit for carve and curl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
