Because this is a hurricane shell and we want it to withstand the heat without melting, we are using a high melting point wax. The melting point of the wax used here is about 163 degrees F (IGI-1554). My suggestion is to select a wax with a melting point above 150F; the higher, the better.

3 TBS of stearic acid per pound of wax was used to increase the opacity (whiteness) of the wax. Stearic is entirely optional when using high melting point waxes that already possess some opacity. No FO or dye was used.

Melt your wax to 185-190 degrees F. Please review the wax melting instructions and pay attention to the safety advice.
