Cinder Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Here are some experiments of mine from this morning. The green ones are votives, scented Ocean Breeze, and the pink ones are 2 inch pillars, scented Hawaiian Mist.Too bad the green ones smell terrible! The fragrance smelled awesome in the bottle, just not in wax, lol..... The hawaiian mist ones smell great tho, I'm test burning one now.

rjwhite6 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I like the translucency. What wax is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 It's paraffin wax. I used dye blocks, and only a few small shavings of red and yellow to make it that translucent. I've been trying to take a pic of the pink one lit, but my camera is terrible lol.. the whole candle glows when lit, and looks so pretty.

rjwhite6 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Yes, but which paraffin wax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 I bought it from Hobby Lobby, it would be the one in the big 10 lb slab. Think the brand name is crafty candles? Sorry, still a newbie at candle making Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Those are pretty. Looks like the kind of translucent parrafin used for making chunk type candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinder Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 Day Two: The scent on the green ones is ALOT better. Liking them a bit more now! The pink one is burning nicely, just noticing one little thing. What would make a very small hissing noise occasionally when burning a candle? Could it be air bubbles in the wax?

Could it be air bubbles in the wax?I described it as kittens fighting in my votives when I experienced it...I was told it was from FO not being mixed in good enough. I bought a large restaurant-sized slotted spoon for stirring and have never had the problem again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
