moniek Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 To those that use j223, when you pour your candles, do you let them set up in a cooler? On my 8 oz jj they are shrinking just a tad. Just enough to have to go and zap them with a heat gun! My 4 oz dont do that. Just wondering!! :undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryinCary Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 It seems like they might be cooling a little fast. You can use a styro cooler to cover them, or a cardboard box works just as well. Try that out and see if it's better. Let us know how it works out for ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shell1226 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 What are thick koozies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
litl splinter Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I make our candles in the cool and sometimes cold basement,and always had problems with shrinkage. I use a styrofoam cooler to let them cool in. They always come out looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
