Candybee Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 The first two are chunk candles that I didn't bother to level. I just finished pouring the one on the left and it came out smooth. The one on the right is unfinished.The last two picks are closeups of the same candle that I leveled. I placed in hot pan and melted bottom til candle was as level as I could make it.

stacien Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Are those Paraffin? They almost look more opaque like soy. They look great though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 Stacien - I used parrafin. I did the repours in 6228. The white candle I was supposed to use a clear parrafin because it was a chunk but I didn't. I wasn't planning to sell it so I just did a quickie repour with what I had left in my meltor. Bottom came out so smooth I just left it as is.The melon colored pillars were made with 6228 and I used same wax for the repour. As I mentioned before I did level the bottom with a heated pan.

Candlelovr Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Me too. The thing that comes to my mind is to heat gun the crap out of it until its smooth, but making sure not to do it too late to where the candle has pulled away from the mold.
