tucker Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Very very nice indeed. You must have had some busy hands for a while to create the magic I see there. Very well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Great job on the candles!!!!!!!!! I wrote down your instructions to compare with all of my others. I have never used 1274 so my experiments will not ever match LOL......I guess that is a good thing. I love the variety in life. Your candes are beautiful.

Henryk Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Jen,That first one - I'd buy that! Its beautiful I would love to get results like that with my 1274. I would have had a real hard time voting if that that one was entered. (I voted for the mottle - not the likeness).So, I'm going to try to dupe YOU! I have the materials. Can you tell me if you used solid or liquid dye? Finally, what pour temp, cooling procedure, and did you have your molds heated?Thanks very much !

Mtngrl Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 ooooooooh la la, I REALLY like the last one best. Those colors go great together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Jokergen.....I tried your formula yesterday with 4045H......didn't mottle much. I think I have it right....to a total of 3lbs of wax I added 3T steric and almost 2% oil to the whole pot.....not per pound....correct....I also added 4 beads of vybar 103. I will post this large cone candle today, but I am going to use more oil....like maybe 4%.....trying to use a wax that is different than yours is difficult.....but mine is mottling wax and it should look better with more oil. Thanks for your formula. Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
