Hello all,
I am not a chemistry student, but am in need of an answer. I like making candles at home, I live in a rural area, and have discovered palmwax. It is way better than paraffin in terms of fumes and chemical releases, I am highly allergic, but they drip way too much. I could use a container to put the wax in but for the farm it creates issues, so I need to make taper palm wax candles. What kind of chemical additive could I use, ideally even something that I can grow, to increase the melting temperature of the palm wax so that it hardens before if drips down the candle? There has to be something out there that either increases the melting temperature or increases the coagulation of the wax, thereby hardening it. Any thoughts?Any help of thoughts would be great....
