    Lone Star Candle Supply has IGI-1260, melt point of 163.

    I've read about temperature changes during the seasons causing candles to burn different.

    If you look REAL close, you can see little bits of it at the bottom, keep stirring well after you see them disappear. Add color after that...

    Those are gorgeous! What were you hoping for?

    Don't give up! I poured these at 150, every single layer. And swooshed the wax around to the top of the mold with every layer. If that helps...

    That's pretty cool!

    Thanks! The molds were pretty clean when I pulled them out, just a teeny tiny bit of stuff. Not nearly enough for it to cause the candle to be naked.

    I read that IGI 4625 wasn't good for rustics, but I tried it anyway. The 3 here are from the same batch of wax. I just added more dye for the third. (I miscalculated the amount I needed, so had enough for a third one.) These were all poured at the same temp. The outside two were in my new seamless aluminum molds and they didn't get the rustic look. The one in the middle was with my cheap hobby lobby tin mold. Just from the looks of it, I'd say this wax can make a rustic if you use a cheap thin tin mold... lol

    I think those are the most beautiful container candles I've ever seen!

    Something you said tipped me off as to where you are, then I looked up and saw Bayouland.... what part? I'm in Bayouland also! Cute containers!

    I usually don't burn much at home, cause I can't smell anything there. But I've taken votives to work to burn the next day and they usually scent my office pretty well.

    I'm pretty sure they're air bubbles. I can push on them and some of them give. You can see the bumps and feel them when you run your finger across them. I don't like them, they remind me of pimples! Or blisters, as Top said. I got some IGI 4625 pillar wax in, so I'm going to see if that happens to them too. I put the UA in because I read somewhere it ups the FO load in the 1274, so I probably won't use it for this other wax. I have a bit of 1274 left, so I'll try it without the UA to see what happens... Thanks for the replies!

    I love that!

    What on Earth is this? They weren't like that straight from the mold, they've developed over the past couple of weeks....??? IGI 1274 with a bit of UA. They were poured between 145-150... Any ideas? I forgot my aluminum hat.

    The only time I've ever seen a candle splatter was when my husband blew it out too hard. He moved some AIR when he blew it out, and oops hot red wax all over the counter and the mirror behind it. Someone may have done that and just not told anyone... I agree with the offer of a replacement after she returns it..
  16. Brat
    What kind of wax?
  17. Brat
    Beautiful!!!
  18. Brat
    They're beautiful! I love purple!

    Didn't think ya were trying to cause problems lol

    Yup, these are addicting. Can't wait until my new molds come in! This one is scented Jasmine. Thanks for looking!
  21. Brat
    Thanks! Yup, it's the el-cheap-o mold from Yaley. Seamed. I've got a few seamless on order, hopefully they'll be here soon!
  22. Brat
    Thanks! I'm sure you're right, hours instead of minutes LOL. I've got a green one cooling now, but not gonna touch it until tomorrow morning!
  23. Brat
    I pulled this one from the mold too early, as you can clearly see! I lost quite a bit of frost, should have waited just a few more agonizing minutes... And here's 3 hours into the first burn. Three hours into the third burn of the brown one. Think this may be the right wick.... Scented China Rain
  24. Brat
    Yes, I have a hard enough time sealing the mold without having to worry about the base being outside the mold. And getting it to stand straight. It's just easier, and if I get good enough to give away or sell them, I'll fix the tops so they're a bit prettier.

    Don't have a clue if it would do anything, but can you put "perishable: keep cool" on the box? Would anyone read it or do anything about it?
