Question

What type of wax can be used to make candles so that when they are burned, the wax basically dissappears?

Answer 1

Bees Wax?

Answer 2

Its not about the wax...its about matching the wax properties and melting point of the wax...to the proper wick. The easiest candle like this I have made is a votive that needs to be burned in a tight fitting container and it liquifies. I use a votive blend wax that is a low melt point 127degrees paraffin with a 24-36-24 zinc cored wick. The zinc keeps the wick standing up straight...while the candle liquifies.

Answer 3

"Bankchick" is right on. That is the correct answer!
