[Nfb-krafters-korner] oops I forgot

[Blindhands at aol.com]

I forgot to say that with the candle waxes there are a lot to pick  from.  
The container wax that is made especially for that is a one pour  wax.  It also 
melts at a lower temperature 130 degrees.  compared to  just for example the 
jell wax melt point I am trying to remember, but believe it  is in the range of 
220 degrees.  So the harder the wax the hotter it needs  to be to reach the 
melt point and the heavier glass container.
 
I had gotten a talking kitchen scale, but one of the little better ones so  I 
could way my wax out in grams and know precisely how much scented oil to add  
to the wax.  I had even found a place that I had gotten color small chips  to 
use to add colors to the wax.  Since I am totally blind the liquid drops  for 
color was a shot in the dark.  This I could cut these small chips in  half 
and even in quarters and one chip colored 16 ounces of wax.  I had  learned a 
lot and received a lot of help from the places online that I purchased  my 
supplies from.  Free long distance telephone service defintely  helps.
