Candybee Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Are you scenting the wax? Or using any additives? It looks like frosting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire.ang Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 Yes i use scents! I was using scents before! Sometimes i use candle dyes. is it possible that my mold has been destroyed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzy Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 pay close attention to your pour temp....those marks look like jump lines which usually happen when the wax has cooled down too much. Also try buffing the candle with a pantyhose...sounds weird but it works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Candle Maker Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I have had the same issue and have no idea what it is? I don't think jump lines is it, as mine also is a little flaky, is yours? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
