Transparent Candles

The following are two recipes given in a German patent specification. The figures denote parts by weight:-

1. - Par affine wax, 70; stearine, 15; petroleum, 15.

2. – Par affine wax, 90; stearine, 5; petroleum, 5.

Recipe 1 of course gives candles more transparent than does recipe 2. The 15 per cent may be regarded as the extreme limit consistent with proper solidity of the candles.
