Regina Filange Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Why can't a mottling pillar wax be used in say.... an apothecary jar?Will it break? Will it tunnel?How come? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Mottle or not, pillar wax is a higher MP and designed for pillars. Container wax is softer, has a lower MP, shrinks less and adheres to the glass better. It's just the way it is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Why can't a mottling pillar wax be used in say.... an apothecary jar?Will it break? Will it tunnel?How come?Who's to say it can't? Have you tried?? The biggest thing is that many pillar waxes aren't meant to hold as much FO as a container wax, so the throw may not be as good as a specifically designed container wax. But with the use of certain additive, you may achieve those results.I'd say try it and see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it tunnel?How come?Mottling wax is straight paraffin and you can do whatever you want with it. If you'd like to make a mottled container though, you can get a lower MP paraffin to make it easier to wick. Either that or don't use too wide a container.
