In all fairness I have to protect my trade and I believe that I shared enough info to get the responses I got. If you feel that you wasted your time, I sincerely apologize but still appreciate the your input on this.

Great questions here and excellent suggestions too. I have to say that I'm not making candles but I'm borrowing from the candle technology to coat a hygroscopic salt with a wax. Essentially I'm trying to get coated salt granules.

Awesome! I will give this a try and see if it solves my problem.

I'm trying to do something very similar here. I need to wax a sodium carboxylic salt. Should I melt the wax and add salt or melt the salt (salt has low melting) and add the wax to it? Please advise.
