Application
Contrary to normal overdipping waxes a more individual and handmade effect is achieveable. The special crystalline surface is slightly different from candle to candle. Colouring can be done with pigment or oil soluble colours. Pre-trails are essential to find the right colouring system.
Characteristics
Type KTM 25 can be used to obtain an overdip with crystalline characteristics: or a snow effect. The wax can be applied either directly on the raw candle or as a variation on a pre- dipped candle with a contrast colour. For pre- dipping KTM 23 or KTM 17 are recommended.
Working Conditions
Dipping (by hand or machine)
The temperature of the wax bath should be bet ween 68 - 72°C. A single, air cooled dip is recommended. Higher dipping temperatures will lessen the size and area of the crystalformations. Type KTM 25 should not be blended with other waxes, otherwise the crystalline structure will be lost.
