Sorry

The wax i am using is IGI4794

Connie:)

Thanks so much for advice...I'll try second pour sooner. I konw i've been waiting for it to comletely cool...like 2-3 hours after initial pour.

Connie:yay:

Why is this happening??

First of all this is what i'm using

Pre-blended votive wax

1 dye chip

1 oz. fragrance oil

Initial pour at 170 degress (yes i keep back some original wax)

Second pour at 175-180 degrees

After I take out of molds, two things are happening.....the top is a different colour (usually a little lighter) and it looks like the top will 'pop' off. WHY WHY WHY??

Connie:mad:

Ok i am definately on a search for a digital thermometer. Do you keep your presto pot thermostat at the same temp all the time? I only use the pre-blended wax which I normally pour at 170 degress (jeez I hope that the right temperature lol)

Gosh i cant believe how helpful this message board is. I purchased fragrance oils from peaks 2 times and I have been so pleased with my purchases.

Thank you thank you thank you

Connie:highfive:

Thanks for your reply. I really appreciate it.

I thought of 2 more questions.....

Where did you find your digital cooking thermometer and how do you measure out your wax....eg. like if you need 1 lb of wax....I plan on mixing scent and colour in my seamless pouring pots.

Thanks again

Connie:yay:

I just got my first 2 prestos and hubby installed spigots.

My question is: Do you still need to check wax temperature with thermometer? What do you set the thermostat at? I know to never let it exceed 250 degrees. Does anyone use a digital thermometer? I'm still new so please forgive the silliness of the questions

Thanks so much
