I have a weird question. I painted some wax melts to look like firecracker popsicles - using the alcohol & mica together. It looks really cute, but it comes off easily, like glittery mica is everywhere inside the bags they're packed in, etc. & It doesn't look very good to me like that. It's there a way to fix that so it doesn't "shed" as much? This is my first time doing it this way, so I probably should have painted it inside the molds, then poured the wax into that, but I painted it on the wax melts themselves. Why tips on how to fix that? Or should I just sell them like that & just do it differently next time?

Hi! Mica can come off pretty easily when painted onto wax. I personally get better results painting it into the molds because it tends to stick/bond better with the wax. If you don't like the look, you could also try melting them down and starting over. Mica can also be mixed directly into the wax to help tint it. Mica tends to sink to the bottom of the mold which can be a cool effect depending on what you're going for. I hope this helps!

@@NorthWoodDistributing Well, the look itself is actually really nice - it's just that a lot of mica is falling off them & getting on the bags & whatnot & it just kind of looks - messy to have that on there. But the melts themselves look adorable lol.
