Paraflint H-1Paraflint H-1
Translucent hardener.If you want a glow through quality in your candle, add some Paraflint to your wax (use no other additives), 1 teaspoon per pound of wax. Paraffin wax is naturally translucent but it tends to bare snow-spots or mottling. No additive will make paraffin transparent, but Paraflint can clarify it, providing a cleaner glow. Having a relatively high melt point, Paraflint needs to be melted separately from the wax with a higher heat source. Adding 20% makes a good veneer, which will help reduce dripping. Melt point is approximately 208° F (98 C). Price listed is per pound of Paraflint H-1.

Bht CrystalsBht Crystals
Anti-oxidant. Use 0.1% (1/10 teaspoon per lb. of wax) as an antioxident for wax. Helps reduce color shift caused by oxygenation. Melt point is approximately 154° F (68 C). How it works: Many of the compounds that make up a candle are organic. Organic compounds tend to react with oxygen, which can cause the base color of the wax to change, as well as react with combinations of fragrances and dyes. When you pour and mix wax, you are introducing oxygen, which can cause the color of the finished candle to change over time. BHT binds with the oxygen molecules trapped inside the candle so that other organic compounds do not, which reduces the effects of oxygenation and color shift in candles. This product is not food grade and is unsafe for consumption. Price listed is per pound of BHT crystals.
