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.

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

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.

Status: offline 		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

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...

Status: offline 		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.
