andy23 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Hello, and a merry christmas to all. I have a question. I made some mottled pillars using 'pre-blended mottled wax', 1 oz per lb FO, and 175 degree. They turned out well, however there was a TON of oil surrounding the pillars. Would anyone know why? I know there is supposed to be some, but soooo much? Thanks for any input,Andy:undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Check the fragrance load on that particular wax. It probably can't hold 6%. Try 1/2 oz per pound next time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth-VT Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Yes, all of the above may/will help. You can also try some Vybar 343. If you let us know what wax you're using, more may be able to help. PS: check your PM's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
