I have some gel wax and a warmer I could give it a test for you...What exactly do you want...How much wax? How much time? What kind of container? ect...

Most silicone mold makers that I've dealt with pour your mold after you order........that's pretty typical.

Hi Chris...I have nothing to add to this thread just wanted to say that I love ferrets also...I have 6...How many do you have?

Well I would first try a remelt with additional wax and see what happens.

Now what do you really think about the wicks? I mean, they aren't burnt right? Why did you think you couldn't use them? Curious.

What I mean is the wicks that are in the jars that I will be remelting...Do I need to throw those ones away or are they okay...I know the wicks in general are fine just those I have already used...

I don't think I would want to burn them at shows if they aren't burning correctly....and the wick wouldn't be clogged up if the wax has never burned. ....How do you know this is the only one not burning correctly? If I had one candle out of a batch that was not burning correctly, I would have to assume none of them would burn correctly. I do believe I am confused so I am not sure why I am even posting to this...

When I said the others are fine I meant the other scents just not this scent so I am guessing it is because I over dyed this scent.

How do you fix over dying...I think that has happened to one of my candles...I was at a show yesterday and burned my Pumpkin Spice...Now remember that is the one that messed up the color and tried to fix it...So when I was burning it at the show the flame was really small...It is fine on the others just this one so I believe there is to much dye in it...How do I fix this without throwing everything away...I thought I could just melt down my jars and add more wax and FO and repour so the dye has been thinned down but what about the wicks do I have to replace them or are they okay because they haven't been burned yet?

Can't help you but my daughter has one of those fish in a bag and really loves it also...

Well you could try NG and I'll swap you one from BCN lol. We can compare that way, maybe. BCN is quite anise. It just needs a little sweet dough or a little waffle flavor and it could become a pizelle FO.

Well I am not sure what BCN is but I will try NG's and see how that goes...

Thanks for all the replies...

I have a friend who wants a licorice candle and I have found it at a few places...Which would be better to buy it from?

cierra candles

natures garden

genwax

Those are 3 places I have found it...

Here's a tip for your foam:

Mix gel w/paraffin...let it cool and get a crusty like layer on top...then whip it and then add it on top of your beer candle with like a spoon. You'll get that "foamy" look.

The wax I am using is a gel/paraffin mix...I was told to just melt it and pour and to whip it for like ice cream but I just don't like the way it looks just melted and poured so I will try whipping it next time...Thanks...

Thanks everyone I will give everything a try...

I was thinking of making Salty Sea Air a seafoam green but not sure how to mix that color up...

I use a popsicle stick with a hole drilled in it and a tiny cloths pin to center mine...You can get both of those at wal mart and I have a dremel tool to do the drilling but I am sure any drill would work with a small bit.

those look fantastic!!

how'd you get the beer section to look so realistic? It looks just like a real beer with little bubbles in it!!!

Well I read that you need to pour slow and hot to reduce bubbles but in the beer I wanted bubbles so I poured fast and cool...And that I think really make it look real...I wish I could have gotten the foam to look more real but I couldn't...

I have done this and I added a little white to lighten it up and then started adding orange until it was the color I wanted...

Thanks so much I will give this a try...

I just made pumpkin spice and I added to much brown now they are cooling way too brown how can I fix this...Thanks...

Okay here is a couple of the beer candles I made...

I will be putting the foam on tomorrow so after they are done I will post a pic...It seemed to me that getting the color right is a bit of a problem when I tested it in a glass bowl it looked fine but after poured into the mugs they were too orangish so you can't really trust the small amount test...

Well I remelted the orangish ones and added a little coffee color and now they look great...I am in love with gel...It is soooo easy to clean up...

You all have been so much help with Indiana how about Southern Illinois that is where I am at and so far I have bought everything online because I haven't been able to find anything really close to me...

Mine are butter rum and I am doing 6. I did three the first time and now doing the other three...

I am making my first gel candles tonight...I am making beer the first batch it just a little orange just started my second batch....

I got the 260 instead of the 103 can I still use it in my wax? What difference will it make having the wrong one?

Thank you...I have the Vybar on order and should be getting it tomorrow so I will give it a try...Thanks again...

Here is a picture of both of them...The round one is from a plastic mold and the tall one is from a metal mold (sheet metal I think) ...They were both poured at the same time with the same wax and removed at the same time with same method...
