That mottle is awesome!!! Great job

Love both of those dogs - We have a 9-year old Amstaff. The bull breeds are amazing animals, and don't deserve their reputation. I work very hard to educate people about them, and their loving nature. Any dog can be bad in the wrong hands.....

I love it, Sabrina. It's very classy and elegant!

Margaritamama.....don't believe him. Just bring the tequilla and he will talk. Trust me. Donita

TEQUILA - Did I hear tequila?!?!?! My favorite....... Give me 10 minutes to throw some stuff in a suitcase!!!

Well, I'm not really an "expert", but I've never really had a problem with any of my candles coming out of the aluminum molds - even unscented. In the beginning, I would be in too much of a hurry to see how they turned out, and it was always a struggle. Now I wait until the mold is really cool - and I mean cool, before I will even attempt to unmold. As soon as I turn it over, the candle slides right out.

Could be I'm missing something here, and that there are a lot more variables as to what wax you use, or additives. Maybe someone who is a little more knowledgeable will give some advice.

Damn!!!! Well, was worth the try.........

......... I've been experimenting with ways to ensure perfect results every time and I think I've got it.

I say we jump on him, and tickle him, until he tells us his secrets!!!!

I'm still a little confused as to why you would need it considering you're using aluminum molds?? Are you having a problem with them not coming out of the molds easily enough?

Guess i am one of the few that actually like the smell of citronella....LOL

Ill check it out!

Me too.....

Is this the same thing that you're referring to??

I used to use it, but since switching to aluminum molds, have had no problem with my candles releasing from the molds. Just let them cool long enough and they slide right out!

Looks like you have no choice but to do candles again!!

My thoughts exactly!!!!!

Very, very nice - and as usual, your mottle is perfect!!!!

Those are awesome!!! I especially love the white candles with the colored tops..... Good Job!

............. Was it a Mary Jane Candle? LOL

I've wondered about that?!?!? Does one walk around with a silly grin on your face when burning this scent????

Thank you so much for all your nice comments...... I must admit that I'm crazy about the Indonesian Teak ones too. When I removed those babies from the mold I was whooping around the kitchen like a crazy banshee - DH thought I'd poured hot wax all over myself.......

The scent is awesome, and the cold throw is excellent. Not sure If I want to burn them though!

AWESOME!!!! .... and I love the presentation..... I love elephants!!!!!!!

Love them Sabrina.... You're becoming quite the expert!!!!!!

Awesome mottle!!!! Love it......

Awesome! The coloring is great for that scent.....

Tucker, I'm sorry to hear about you needing surgery..... But please don't quit!!! Your candles are so great, and we love having you here. Give it some time, and see how your recovery goes before deciding to give up and sell everything. You never know, you might feel great afterwards and wish you were able to get back to your hobby.

Candles will be lit for you........

Salmon!!! Now that makes sense.......

WOW - I would never have suspected the yellow?!?!? Maybe my monitor color is a little off....

It looks like a red with pink undertones. However soy is another animal, and I would suspect it would take more than the usual amount to obtain that deep color. If you don't get any responses, I would experiment using the red, with a tinge of the magenta.

Sorry - I'm not a soy expert, but I thought I'd just add my 2 cents.....
