MrDan Posted August 12, 2018 Posted August 12, 2018 So my new Pourette molds arrived on Saturday, and this is them! I used CBL-141 (candlewics pillar/votive blend that’s the same as the hobby lobby “premium wax”), a piece of colored scrap wax, and the remnants of some Sage fragrance oil! I now I have a 9 oz raccoon and a 12 oz snail! 4 Quote

Its not as detailed as I had hoped, but the eyeballs will be more visible when I use a deeper or darker color. The scrap of dyed wax I used was close to 1/4 oz to the almost 2 pounds of wax I used! I’m surprised any color showed up, but I’m really happy with how it’s settling in; 1 Quote
Sarah S Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 So cute! Love how glossy that 141 is, it looks like you glazed them! 1 Quote

Here’s another of the raccoon I just pulled last night! More of that wonderful 141, a few drops of ivory dye, and a nice Redwood & Cedar FO. I think I’ll light him tomorrow night! 3 Quote

I just have to add that I confirmed with CW today that their quality, custom blends (CBL) are NOT available in craft stores. Their basic paraffin wax choices are what is offered in your local craft store and can also be found via their website here... https://www.candlewic.com/store/category.aspx?q=c49&title=Paraffin-Wax Quote

I was told by a Hobby Lobby employee that it was CW under a different name. Shortly after I posted the original I had to go pick some up because I ran out of my CBL. The waxes are very similar in almost every aspect, except the Country Lane (Craftstore brand) has a much better hot throw. 2 Quote
