faithsem Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I just went through the same thing over the last couple of days...here's is what I did and it worked for me...if it is not completely cold take the mold and put it in a water bath right up to the top of the mold for 5 min...I used a timer to be sure of the time..after the first couple of times I removed the mold seal and gently but firmly pushed on the bottom...I spaced the cool water baths a hour apart..if the mold is cold to the touch try putting in the 'fridge for a little while...don't go tapping on the mol with anything heavy (don't ask me how I know) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlelovr Posted June 9, 2006 Author Share Posted June 9, 2006 Well, I took my heatgun to the insert and managed to get it out but guess what! All the wax inside of the insert came out with it. So then all i had was a shell and no bottom! I poured some wax in the bottom (after I sprayed it with mold release!!) at about 210 degrees, and now its cooling. Hopefully it will work. All I really wanna know is if I did the embeds right. We shall see, I'll post a pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klo Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I have one stuck too, usually I stick them in the frig and I can work it out, but this one is really stuck, I think the mold must not have been clean. I cracked it trying to pull it out, so now I am going to use is as a practice one for dipping!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlelovr Posted June 10, 2006 Author Share Posted June 10, 2006 Mine cracked too, big time. But I was able to see how the embeds came out and much to my dismay, they look like a pile of fried dog BLEEEP! *Sigh* Back to the drawing board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
