some Fo's are heavier than others - you actually should weigh each and every one before you pour...Do you have a scale?

I did a search and was going to post you a link, but there are so many that you are better off just doing a simple search w/the term heat gun - that will give you a wealth of information. Hth.

Well good luck w/that

Is this your second try (I may have missed a post or two)? I'm still trying to get up the nerve for soaps. Pretty colors -wish I could smell it!

Clean Cotton Ocean Mango Pap (that's what I call it ) Black Raspberry Vanilla Blackberry Tea Bayberry Cool Citrus Basil Not necessarily in this order - and subject to constant and random change

LMAO. That's hilarious.

:rolleyes2 I'm a bounty girl

In order to mottle, you need to pour quite hot. What is your average pour temp?

I also love Peaks

you can also use the non-scented handi-wipes along w/the paper towels. Hth

Why thankyouverymuch - I was actually going for a mottled tilted layer w/frost. Unfortunately, I got very impatient waiting to unmold and stuck them in the freezer for a few minutes which of course stopped the mottle for the most part. Also, you can't tell at all that there are no less than six different shades of color in them. They're for my mom's living room and I'm sure she'll like them. Thanks for the compliments

Not quite what I was going for, but I don't hate them. Love this scent! Thanks for looking.

Sorry, not my first pillar, just the first pillar w/this particular mold HypOr, this fo was from Bittercreek North. Haven't smelled the Pier One candle you referred to, so not sure if it's similar. It's a very fresh scent. Thanks for the comments

Have had this mold since October, this is first try (w/fave scent ocean breeze) - yet to be wicked - Love this mold!

Me, too

I'm still waiting on my sample. Maybe this will be the week.

LOVE the pomegranite - good job!

I wrap mine in hand towels secured by a clothes pin

Thanks for the input everyone - I think I'll try Tanya's method next and see how that works out . Thanks also for the compliments.

No clue on a name, but love the candles

Love the purple and blue especially

Good job - love the mold

Love them. I think you stole the frost I've been looking for

I used 3 Tbs pp of stearic. I don't know if I could pour any cooler - it was pretty thick as it was - I made some previously where I started pouring at 150, then went up 5 degrees each layer, and they LOOKED a little smoother than these, but fell apart when I tried to wick them. This held together great, but I don't like the looks of it. Ha. I think part of my prob as far as the non-smoothness of the layer adhesions is that I may have been getting my mold a little too cool in between repours (using a wet cloth). I'll give it another shot and not cool it down so much, but I still don't know why I'm not getting the frost I want
