    Thanks for clarifying. Will try this one.

    In my opinion, pouring in cool mold will increase cooling rate which will increase the mottling. Am I correct? Actually I have solved the problem. I was using a mixture of two paraffin grades - crystalline and non-crystalline. Increasing the percentage of the non-crystalline one eliminated the spots but the candles are slightly inferior in terms of performance (they tend to spill more frequently). Will have to go with the formulation for the time being. Thanks for sparing your time.

    Thanks for your replies. Can you suggest any additive to avoid these marks. Please note that vybar is not available in my area.

    I make Paraffin wax pillar candles using Silicone molds. I am getting white marks on the candles (see pictures). Pre-formulated waxes are not available in my area so I have to use straight Paraffin wax. I use the following formulation: 11% Stearin and 89% Paraffin wax. I have varied my pouring temperature from 90 to 96 degrees Celsius, pre-heated the molds using heat gun, wrapped the molds in aluminum foil but the marks are still there. Thanks in advance for any advice.
