the two balls in the middle

Resurrection time!
So lets talk formulas. I’m trying to make my own wax in house from bulk ingredients. Buying candles isn’t very cost effective and the parrafin I’ve using is too soft. Melts really easily in a hot car. I’m gonna try soy wax next, but I was just wondering if anyone else had tried making their own blends?

Golf wax is tight

Are you shopping at the Yankee Candle Workshop or something? Have you tried the dollar store?

[El Chupacabra]

Eh it’s more that I want to be a geek about it. But if I could find candles for a buck, why not? I’ll take a look.

Rub brick, clear coat with lacquer, gulf wax

Made some new wax.

Sculpted the original from Sculpey and made a silicone mold

[sharkin]

did you figure out a good formula as above?

I made wax mixing about a cup of melted plain candles from target and 1 tablespoon petroleum jelly

[Easy Slider]

I melted some leftover Christmas candle pieces. Just put them into a heat proof glass bowl and place the bowl into a pot with water in it and heat up the water so the wax will melt (for the cooks, it's like a bain marie). I quite like how this panned out (pun intended).

I used to buy candles on the cheap from garage/yard sales and salvation army back in the 90s.

Recently, my mother in law gave me a box of candles that must have been from 70s or 80s so I'm good.

[FUBAR]

Biggest candle at the dollar store. Throw the wick away. Wax curb.

I cannot buying "skate" wax when box of Gulf Wax - 4 1/4lbs blocks - is like $5, though I usually get them for a buck or two at the thrift store. This is in addition to the bits of wax I pick up from around the park.
