i have read that the use of unscented candles is best as the oils that they use to scent them can cause the wax to be too hot.

also a little test on the inside of your wrist before play *like testing milk in a baby bottle* is a good way to check out the height to drip from for the best effect.

if you drop to low, the wax may be too hot as it its the body. raising the candle allows the wax to cool more as it drops.

happy dripping! *smiles*
