    I'm assuming you mean pillars. Are you using the same wax and additives for the chunks and overpour? I have found that workds the best. You do have to watch that your pouring temp is not too hot though. I also agree that a picture and size of candle and wick would help. Also type of wax and additives?

    Welcome. Really like the colors you chose and the way they blend together.

    Looks a little like mottling. Try adding vybar starting at at 1/2 tbs. pp. ( instead of steric). You may have to add stronger dye to get the darker colors though.

    Welcome:grin2: . Sometimes it helps to post a picture if you can, then people can see what's happening. Not familiar with the wax, but have you tried vybar instead of sterin?

    Nice re-treads:D Love the purple one. Thinking of doing the same thing with all the leftovers too. Just trying to get motivated. Your pictures may help:)

    I've made regular and cold pour and never had trouble taking them out of the molds. Molds can be little fussy to clean though.

    Love the colors. My favorite mold.

    I have the 2.25 ones and they hold about 1.1oz wax. I like them really topped up so do two pours so they don't have a dip in the middle. I use them for making melts.

    Yes, the melting thing was very puzzling. Just mentioned the thermometer thing 'cause I was so surprised that mine was so off. Now I test new ones all the time . I think that the wax must have had a very high mp. I only use a double boiler to keep wax warm. Don't think you can get the wax over 200 with one. Also I found that if the water level in the double boiler isn't at the same height as the wax in the melting pot, I takes a long time for the wax to melt.

    Very Nice! Love the red you got.

    Don't know why it didn't melt easily, but what type of thermometer are you using? I know that a long time ago, I bought a new thermometer (glass candy type) and it was way off compared to the other two I was using. You may want to test yours.

    Lx 10 or 12 here too for regular sized votives. lx14 may bee a little large, but it all comes down to fo amounts and testing. Think I'd start testing with the lx12.

    Wow! I'm in awe. Great work!

    I've tested a few coconuts and was unable to get very much of a throw. Have tried them in melts and pillars and votives.

    Saw ones like these at a kiosk in Scotsdale. Was told the idea was patented. The candles were very beautiful.

    Very realistic and pretty too! Well done:)
