just gorgeous!!!

thanks for the link. look at all the different shapes. i want i want i want! lol i don't have a heat gun but will definitely look into getting one.

thanks for the quick reply! yes i did let it cool almost completely. i didn't have wax specifically for hurricanes so i used 4625 pillar just cuz i was dying to make one. i used a large margarine container and poured about 1/4" 175F wax in the bottom and let it cool almost completely. then i put a smaller margarine container half filled with cold water (to weigh it down) in the middle of the larger one. i put potpourri between the 2 containers and then poured my wax at 175F, waited about 20 minutes and poked holes all the way around and poured more wax at 175F, again waited around 20 minutes, poked more holes and then did my last pour at 175F again.

very nice!! i love hurricanes!

mmmm i'll have one please

that is so neat!!!

i make my votives using IGI 4794 and pour at 170F. i usually don't do my repour until the next day and i pour at 180F. alot of my candles end up getting bubbles on top. is my wax not hot enough? too hot? help.....

hi everyone. i'm new to the board and new to candle making. i was so anxious to jump right in and quickly found out that it's not as easy as i thought. i have a lot to learn. i've been at it for a couple of weeks now and was dying to try a hurricane. the only problem was when i was taking it out of the mold the bottom broke off. don't know why that happened - maybe my wax wasn't hot enough. whaddya think?
