<p><span>Adding a small amount of PERC and waiting is necessary to balance the density. I generally add a maximum of 80 grams of PERC to 100 grams of wax. Then I balance the density with 85% Glycerin. SLES is used to provide movement and prevent it from sticking to the bottle. The stains may be from impurities.
