Well hello everyone, I have been searching everything possible on google and always seem to get thrown into this forum where I have read many questions and answers however unfortunately none of what I am after. Besides, it is for wood not my unusual question. So I figured best I join and ask if anyone knows my question myself :)
I am looking for a lacquer or varnish that will adhere to candles yet not set them totally on fire:o so need non flammable!
I was advised shellac as is methylated based and once set it is fine to use on candles. Unfortunately it gives a yellow tinge (even the clear shellac). If there is anybody who knows their lacquers which is non flammable and clear in colour and will grab onto the wax I would absolutely love to hear from you. I am at wits end with this one. You can buy candle varnish oversea's however was hoping could buy something locally:rolleyes: or within Australia.
Anyway, to those of you who write back thank you in advance for wishing to help me with this sticky one.
Thank you, lbae
