Gdawg Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Oh I am so glad that hubby and I found this board, we have been reading posts for hours now. We are really having problems with our pillars when it comes to the relase of them. Do the spray mold release really work? We tried Pam cooking spray as one site suggested and we tried the fridge thing and also the freezer. We have made about a dozen and only the 1st one actaully released lol. Don't know what we did different. Any suggestions would be great as we are getting frustrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breanna Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 What type of wax are you using?? Usually if your molds are cooled all the way down it will come out fine. I use the generic canola spray and it works fine,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 And what type of molds. I use a silicone releasant for the tin molds, nothing on the aluminum molds and lightly use Pam on the two-piece plastics. Could be you are trying to release it too soon. Could also just be the candle doesn't want to come out. Used to have a few clear molds that just wouldn't give, so I soaked them in cold water, sometimes overnight, and sometimes that would work. Most of the time it didn't. Don't use those acrylic molds any more if I don't have to.BTW welcome to the board! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gdawg Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 It is P-1 wax, we heat to around 200 and pour around 165. They are the seamless aluminum molds. We have let them completly cool overnight and poke the wax as it sets up and fill back in.Thanks for the suggestions and replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
