Thanks for all

@Judy - are you using Google translator? Meaning of the sentence is different. My polish is quite good, I'm from Poland but my English is... no comment

We use this method, because like wrote Judy, it's easier and quicker

Now, I know what I did wrong. I used wrong wax, the same as for rustic candles. I must order paraffin wax with lower melt point. Do you think, that paraffin wax with melt point 122F will be good or I should find sth else?

Oh, I've forgotten. I also add vybar to our candles...

Yes, I do like you said

I make it in this glass http://www.e-kalia.pl/swiece/zapachowe-w-szkle/swieca-w-szkle--stearynowa--vanilla-3szt.html

http://www.e-kalia.pl/swiece/swieczniki/swiecznik-votive-szklanka-h6cm.html

It's wide on the top and narrow on the bottom

I take my glass, put into it votive candle and after that I pure with hot paraffin wax. Of course, a make my glass wormer before I pure it. But when the paraffin wax is cold, it jump out from the glass.

What I am doing wrong?

I have very important question - How long I have to wait when I pour the mold ????

Till now, I want accelerating our production. After pured molds, I put them into the very cold water or into the snow. It never looked like rustic. Ones, I left my mold with hot paraffin on the table. On the next day, my candle looked similar to rustic...

Well... much more. Don't laugh at me, but I would like to do over 500 / per day. I need to do 15 000pcs till the end of February. I'm the owner of company. We have devices used for melting paraffin.

In my opinion, this paraffin is not to use for candles. We have paraffin wax for gavelights /cementary candles/, and that paraffin has high level of oil /above 8%/ and that's why you have some "flakes". At the beginning, we tried to do candles from that paraffin, but they looked like yours... For candles you have to have very good quality paraffin wax with low level of oil.

Maybe, heat gun would be helpful. Try heat the glass.

When we do our container candles, we use paraffin wax with "low melt point" and vybar 260. Also we heat our container before we pour paraffin to it.

Thanks for your answer, but I am looking for something, that will be faster in production. I try to do this with makeshift metal ball mold. I pure into it paraffin wax, then I put it into the water, and after few minutes I "pure out" the rest of paraffin. Then I disassemble my mold and have ready hurricane candle but I don't that is a good idea for a large production...

I need to making a hurricane candles like this http://www.e-kalia.pl/en/candles/decorative-lampion/swieca-lampion-kula-d120-turkusowy.html

Till now, we bought them, but we would like to produce this product. It is rounded.

Thanks a lot for your help emilyspoppy

We buy our paraffin wax in the biggest paraffin producer in Poland. Maybe someone could help me, which paraffin wax I should choose http://www.polwax.pl/en/offer,paraffin-ltp-with-low-oil-content,11/

They have product technical specifications for each product.

Moreover, we ordered new delivery from Israel http://www.hbo-wax.co.il/HTMLs/page_258.aspx?c0=13111&bsp=12316 , I chose PW573 . I read, that they have good paraffin wax special for rustic. So, we will see when it comes.

Of course our rustic should feel very very strong, when it stay and when it will be burning. When my rustic will be done, I will looking for delivery of fragrances. Polish company buy fragrances in France, UK, Germany. Maybe, I will buy some fragrances in USA, because I would have some different fragrances.

Later, I will write more. I'm going on snowboard now :)

Hello everyone,

I am new on this forum. I'm from Poland and I'm starting making candles. I'm sorry for my English .

We are producing cementary candles and we are also a wholesaler of candles.

First, I would like making rustic candles by my own. I have few questions about that, because I can't achieve rustic outside.

We have two kinds of paraffin wax - 127F (Oil content not more than 0,75%)and 147F (Oil content not more than 0,5%). We melt them together 2:1, I freeze my aluminum molds before pour paraffin. We pour our molds with different temperature. When we make our candles, sometime we have horizontal lines and sometime candles look very smooth. It never looks like real rustic candle. Do I have to have a special paraffin to make them. I purchased new kind of paraffin wax with melt point 135F, vybar 103, Micro 180, and metal molds. Should I use vybar 103 to have better look of rustic or only for add more fragrances? Now, I'm waiting for this delivery.

Second, I want to do is a Hurricane Candles. How much micro do I have to add? Diameter of it inside - 3in.
