Vybar

Vybar is a popular candle additive similar to stearin. It is sold in bead form and comes in two basic types based on melting point. You chose the type that best suits your wax’s melting point. Vybar can be melted along with your candle wax.

An advantage to using vybar is that it will not rot a flexible mold.

Like stearin, vybar makes the finished candle harder, enables you to add more fragrance, helps eliminate bubbles, and gives you a smoother surface.

General rules for working with candle additives: always measure as accurately as possible, always thoroughly mix the additive into the wax, always use the smallest amount possible and see what effect that has before deciding to use more, always keep a record in your candle making notebook of how much additive you used.
