CathyinME Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Has anyone tried making a black palm wax candle? I'm thinking of trying one but don't know if it would work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CathyinME Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 Thanks! I missed that one!! That is really cool looking, guess I'll have to try it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carriegsxr6 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I did one last week with Astrolite FI added 1drop of black per oz and it worked. Its very black, however the crystalizing effect of the wax does add a white frosted look to the surface. I will take a pic and post it later on today.

Carriegsxr6 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Here you go (I put a teal on the left just for comparison)Please excuse the bottoms I still need to work on my repour. But as you can see the repour shows the actual color if the plam crystalizing effect didnt take place (same wax used in the first pour). Very black.

Henryk Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Those look really nice - Astorlite F - can you still purchase that stuff? I have some left from way back when but thought it wasn't made any longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
