"I'm trying to do that too. It happens a bit with microcrystalline paraffin. Titanium dioxide collapses to the bottom. It happens with beeswax but yellow color. I will try using white beeswax or find an organic chemical."

120W Grande Bulb

I have my grande on a dimmer, but I was looking for expirment's sake to add some more heat on the top end.  I grabbed some 120W halogens, but it turns out that the bulbs are so large that they don't actually fit into the opening in the base for a bulb, they're too wide. I have looked all over but I can't find a surefire option for a more powerful bulb that would fit in the grande, does anyone have any ideas or links for an option? I'm willing to use heaters instead if that's my only option, it…See More
