Stearic

The 100% Palm Stearic Acid candle is harder than I expected so the candle isn't burning fully out to the edges.

I wonder if I could just use Stearic Acid for my candle?

I have to try this, I have lots of Palm Stearic Acid.

So I don't see why you could not use the Stearic Acid, to make these, also Palm pillar wax does not burn to edge so that is, maybe why your candle is not burning to the edge.

I use Stearic Acid as a hardener in almost every candle I make - even if it's just 3-5%, it seems to help.

I measured out 16 ounces volume of Stearic Acid for my candle.

The Stearic did make the awesome crystallize look like Palm.

For this project, I used Stearic Acid, Carrot Cake (candle) fragrance, the cotton core WU-250 wick and Bramble Berry's Economy Candle Containers.

The candle above was made with Palm Stearic Acid, giving it a mottled and unique look.

I suspect the scent wafts off, similar to an alcohol or something, once the Stearic Acid is exposed to air.
