I'm testing palm wax from Candles and Supplies, and I don't know what I am doing wrong. One set of votives came out beautifully (pale pink, scented Girls' Night Out - Just Scent) and the other set (purple, scented Lavender/Vanilla Passion ) don't look the same. The top of the votive has the beautiful "feathering, star burst, etc., but the rest of the votive is solid (as if I had used plain paraffin). Both poured at 200 degrees. I did not heat the votive molds. Any suggestions would be helpful.

I haven't had that happen before, they always turn out nice. Maybe yours cooled too quickly? I keep a cardboard box to set over the top of them so they cool slower. The room I pour in is always warmer than the rest of the house.Don't know if that makes a difference, but you can remelt those and try it.

Try heating your molds (I set mine in the oven on 200 until I'm ready to pour) and pour at around 180. I have the same thing happen as you are describing when I pour some leftover into a cold mold. HTH Portia

Thanks. I LOVE the look of this wax, and hope to eventually incorporate it into my line.
