MoonShadow Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 To the critter dippers out there...I need to make one dipped critter for a friend. I have the critter, LOL, but I don't have any pillar paraffin. I have soy container wax, paraffin container wax and palm pillar wax. I have some 'hardeners,' like palm stearic, beeswax, coconut oil and additives.Is there anyway to make this one dipped critter with what I have on hand?TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelleyBean Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I have used both straight soy and 4630 waxes with no additive to make dipped critters. The soy leaves them a little more greasy feeling, but if they are fluffed right they have never been an issue for me or anyone who has bought them from me.

Angel2006 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 i use container soy but you can add a bit of paraffin to make them a little harder and not as greasie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carol k Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 i use pure soy also, never had a problem. but if the weather is 90's+ you might want to add some beeswax or some of the pillar blend that you have to make them a bit harder.

Candle Makin Momma Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I only use 100% soy container wax. It is soft and you can really fluff them up.Pillar got too flaky for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
