I don't understand your question. Extend what, how?
I bought the red, and the gold waxes from Midwest after I had fiddled
around with plain old paraffin bought at the grocery store. Feel and texture
of the two types are the same. The main reason I bought the red and gold
stuff is I couldn't find any way of coloring the paraffin with anything I
had around the house. And the plain paraffin had no pzazz.
Blame it on "old-timer's disease" (or a brain fart) that I didn't think
of looking for candle crafting stuff until my post before this one. After
that I dove into Google and found a bunch of sources for color additives.
With a basic kit, a person could make up just about any color variation
imaginable -- including adding metallics, glitters, and stripes.
