satellitesusie: Wax play is SO fun! Here is some basic info on what types of wax to use, and more.Click the picture to get to the site where I got my information from (and to get much more extended instruction and detail - really, it’s a GREAT site!) Types Of Wax:Paraffin – most common, inexpensive, various scents, burns at low temperatures (115°F - 145°F) and therefore recommended best for wax play. This wax is refined from petroleum and comes from the Latin “parum” = few or without and “affinis” = connection or attraction. Basically there are only a few substances that will chemically react with or bind to this type of wax.Soy – becoming popular, more expensive, various scents, burns clean at a low temperature (120°F - 150°F) and therefore recommended for wax play. Refined from the soybean (legume) plant but caution should be used because many people are allergic to soy products. Special Note: Always ask your bottom beforehand of any allergies they have. Beeswax – less common, usually found in rolled candles, expensive, honey scented, burns clean (smokeless) at a very high temperature (142°F - 150°F) and therefore not recommended for wax play. Refined from the honeycombs of beehives. Bayberry – the rarest and most expensive, popular around the holidays, available in 8” taper candles, earthy fragrance, and dries to an olive green color. This wax is 100% pure and natural and it takes about 15 pounds of bayberries to make just one pound of this wax. It is also known as “myrtle wax”. Although it has an extremely low melt point of 116°F, it is an excessively hard wax. Good to know, right? Find more info on the site! -- source link
