Spectrum | UV Rainbow Paraffin

Kaleidoscopic · Warm · Theatrical
Hand poured by El · Pure paraffin · Made in Australia

The full rainbow, lit from one wick.

Newton gave us the word spectrum for the band of colour he split out of sunlight with a prism. This is that band in wax, the whole Neon Noir line-up poured into one pillar, ribboned and striped under ordinary light.

The blacklight comes on and the full cast walks out together, each colour glowing at its own pitch as the flame works down through the stripes. The first drop is a bright shock, then warmth spreads in bands over the curves.

Every colour comes from the same pure paraffin, so the heat holds steady from red to violet while the palette turns like a kaleidoscope. Each drop shifts into the next, laying down harmonious runs of complementary colour across the canvas. It cools flexible and lifts away in long, many-coloured casts.

For the Scene Artist who paints the whole canvas from a single flame.

How to Use:

Light the candle. Once the wax starts to melt around the base of the wick, tip parallel and test the first drops on your own forearm before the canvas. Avoid inverting the candle, hold parallel to the canvas and rotate in the hand to melt wax evenly. Height controls temperature. Higher is cooler, lower is hotter. Build from there, one deliberate drop at a time.

Safety:

Formulated for wax play. Keep away from eyes, face, broken skin and hair. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Trim the wick between sessions. Consent and communication before the first drop, always.

Paraffin retains heat longer than soy. Never let it pool on the skin, as pooled wax can run significantly hotter than the stated melting point and risks burns. Don't apply oil underneath this wax.
