How can I create a top-to-bottom glow candle with paraffin wax?

I am trying to figure out how to make a "top to bottom glow" candle from paraffin wax. Can anyone advise me? Thanks.

What's that?

I would guess you need translucent candle wax. Try googling that. Found..

One important note is that wax in its "natural state" is as translucent as you can get. Most additives are designed to give the wax an opaque finish.

Great input-thank you all. in response to DaveC, I am trying to duplicate a transluscent, paraffin "top to bottom glow" candle that was made by a company named Bull Frog in Charlavoix, Michigan. They have since gone out of business. To Zoobyshoe I am trying to illuminate with paraffin wax only. I know it can be done because I still have one. CWATTERS is the closest yet (I think) to what I am trying to do. I will order the wax and try over the weekend. I appreciate all your help!
