That's interesting to hear since the VCC wax is so soft, it's the last wax I'd expect would pop out like that. At what temp. are you pouring your candles?
What concrete are you using?
I've made quite a few candles in my own concrete containers and never had any of my coco/soy blends not adhere to the container. I even seal the interior of my concrete- either with modpodge or by soaking them in mineral oil. (ps: i find both methods help to decrease any oil seepage that can cause unsightly spots on the outside of the vessel) But even before I sealed, my wax adhered to the inside.
Hey, is it worth me using mineral oil on my concrete vessels? I'm really struggling to find a safe way to seal them 😅. If so how do you go about doing it? Sorry for the questions. Any tips would be fantastic! 😊
