morning candle makers my question for today is can I use mica powders in soya wax for candles?
I think I searched on this section for Micas.
I did try it only because I was farting around with wax I had laying around. DON"T PUT IT IN A RUBBER/SILICONE MOLD. It doesn't come out easily !
Iv found mica is a NIGHTMARE to get out of most things i have a separate washing up bowl, towel, bowls and jugs just for the use of mica because of how much faffing about it takes to clean it up afterwards that way i can just pop them to one side and they dont matter as much
I use a spray bottled of rubbing alcohol to clean up micas and it works extremely well. Alcohol & a paper towel gets up any mica mess I've had to deal with.
Thanks for the tip about shop towels (the blue paper towels.) I'll take a look and see if anyone carries them at a lower price then regular kitchen paper towels. They certainly are sturdier. I used to keep a roll in the trunk of my car, but it's been awhile since I bought one, so I don't know how the pricing compares.
