Henri,
The problem gets to be the term "candle wax" really has no definite meaning. I found many different types, too many to know what you have. But if you insist in candle wax, Ok. The Roman Catholic Church demands that it's ceremonial candles contain 51% bees wax. About 1/10 of the bees wax produced is used in candle making. Mostly replaces by cheaper petroleum based paraffin. The Egyptians used bees wax, historically speaking, to do lost wax casting. For more than anyone ever wanted to know about bees wax. Go to
www.cd3wd.com or do a search on "value added products from beekeeping" The stuff is everywhere and in everything. Wax gets to be a big world. There literally are animal, vegetable and even mineral. Then synthetics. This problem gets further compounded by yet another variable. You want to slush cast it into your mold. Temperature of the wax and the temp of the mold will have an effect. The problem is then compounded by the movement of the mold during filling, the gravity effect. It's a little like making a chocolate Easter bunny, lots of spinning and turning. The problem of finding a recipe. Is that most people are looking for waxes that set up harder than your brown and are more carvable and finish able after being produced. Do I have the answer for you, don't know. Brad
