I was wondering if the type or color of wax matters ?

quote: I was wondering if the type or color of wax matters ? Yes it does. The best wax to use when starting out is paraffin. It has the lowest melting point of any wax out there. When you add colors to wax, the melting point does go up. The wax burns hotter. Although it clearly depends on what color...what the melting temp is. Best and most sure fire way is to make your own candles or find someone who specializes in making paraffin candles for the lifestyle. Although, one can use many different types of wax, I'm just suggesting paraffin as a starting point.

The novena candles are perfect for wax play (particularly for beginners) and come in a variety of colors if your top enjoys making pictures...lol. They are amazingly inexpensive and can be found in your local grocery store. We always have five or six of them sitting on our dresser. I've also heard that color additives increase the melting point, but except for colored candles that were scented, I haven't personally noticed that (particularly not with the novena candles). Scented candles on the other hand, definately burn hotter. Have fun! best regards, fate

I haven't noticed a difference with colored candles, either. Scented ones are hotter. Just make sure your top has the candle high enough above you that the wax can cool somewhat.

Yes color, size, shape all will make a diffrence in temp, But I have noticed there are more and more companies making candles for this reason and they are colored and fun fun some are glow in the dark. So you can spend a little extra and really have fun with these candles.

Type matters, color might, depending on the type. The popular new soy wax candles are much too hot and will burn the skin. Read the ingredients, paraffin alone can get too hot but at least can be cooled to a safe usage temp without solidifying. There are links for body wax products designed for waxing, try googling 'body wax' or go to JT's Stockroom. Where paraffin is concerned, darker colors such as blue, purple, black, dark green, can stay hotter much longer than lighter colors. To be safe, stay with brights or pastels, and stick with a wax base that has a controllable temperature. TexasMaam[8\|]

As everyone has said, different kinds of candles, and wax melt at different temps, but one thing they have in common, is that they are all heated by a flame which will increase the temp to its burning point. What we use is a bit different. I bought a wax pot that was made by " Dr scholl's ", which is made for dipping your hands and feet in. It melts parafin wax to just over its melting point(125) and keeps it there. Aside from the steady temp, a big advantage is the amount of wax you have to play with is great. Mine holds about a gallon of melted wax. Have fun, Bill

It is important to give the wax enough time to dry thoroughly between coats. Otherwise, the wax will form a skin but the inner wax will retain it's heat and remain liquid. In higher temp wax, that can cause burning of the skin. I also use a variety of instruments to drizzle wax, but one of my favorite techniques is to use multiple colors and paint the wax on with brushes. I'm not an artist by any stretch of the imagination, so my designs are fairly simple, but an artist could really do some fun things with the technique. I've been using a crock pot as a double boiler to melt wax for years. It will hold about 8 novela candles, but takes a while heat the wax all the way to the top. I have a method of taking one out to cool while I use another which keeps the temp in the right zone. I've always enjoyed using a sharp knife to remove wax, as it adds to the scene somewhat. Something I found out recently at a demo is that using a slight coating of baby on the skin helps in removing the wax. When I tried this, I found that the wax comes of much more quickly and effectively. If you enjoy Dolcett scenes, you might want to experiment with this... -SD-

There are candles made specifically for wax play. Granted they are pricey (honestly, I can't remember, we bought them a long time ago), however it will take the guess work out of wax play. We got ours at the local adult store.
