pcolamedtech29 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I am outta ideas, I have been trying to figure out why my votives are not turning out. Everytime I pour I get the sinking in the middle, then I repour to the meniscus and then they sink more, then it makes it impossible to pour again. I am using CBL 141 and I have poured temps from 175 to 200, and have waited for them to completely cool b4 I repour, but no dice, they still sink. I am at wits end, and feel like my collection is not complete without them. any Ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also be sure it is completely cool before the repour. That should help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tess Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 OH yeah and don't force cool them. Let them cool in as warm a condition as possible. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
