anabanana's candles Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I mixed NG palm container wax and glass glow. DO NOT DO THIS> they were horrible, humped up tops and no crystals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleanglow Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 yep, I used another crystal container palm wax and mixed it with glass glow. Glad i only did a pound! I was actually shocked at how ugly it came out. Just for the heck of it, I tested the burn and that was fine, good scent throw, too. It was just the ugliest candle I've seen in a long time.

Stella1952 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Anabanana, could you give us a FEW more details... like what temp it was poured, etc.? A photo would be nice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I'm curious of your reason for adding anything to Glass Glow? The only thing that comes to mind is to stretch the pound, but I'm probably missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carriegsxr6 Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 yeah thats weird. if they are both palm, they should both crystalize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleanglow Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I did it because I was running low on glass glow and thought (more like hoped) I could get more of the effects of the glass glow if I combined the 2 and stretch the wax. I still have about 50 lbs of my other container palm wax. I at least expected to get some crystals, but no such luck.I burned some of it, but I'll post a pic of what's left so that you can see.I did what I always do and poured between 195-200 and used 6% fo.

Stella1952 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Wow! That's wild lookin'!!! It looks more like palm wax that was blended with soy than it does with another palm wax... Any possibility that it cooled too fast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleanglow Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Nope, that's what blew me away, too. I did absolutely everything I did and do every time to get this effect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anabanana's candles Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 Mine looked the same way after a couple burns. It pulled from the jar terribly and the melted wax on the top spilled over into the rest of the jar and make that funky thing that your has going on. I wouls post pictures, but I did mine in white and it is hard to see if you are not in person. I too poured at 190 like I always do and the only reason that I mixed the two is because I saw someone in the gallery had did it with glass glow and starburst palm wax.

R.S. Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I once mixed feathering palm with crystallizing palm. No crystallization whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
