LITTLEOX Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Hi everyone! I made my first balloon candle and it turned out better than i expected. Now my problem is that the bottom of it is so thin that i can't level it out. I used 5055 wax, micro 180, and dipped it between 160 - 165. How do I get the bottom the same thickness as the sides? Any suggestions would be greatly appreiated. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klo Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 by chance did the bottom of the candle touch the bottom of your pot? this happens to me after I have made a lot of them and the wax is getting lower, I have even had the balloon be stuck in the wax and visible from the bottom, I had one bust this way, that was a nice mess and a waste of wax, so I try to be careful and have extra wax ready to re-add to the pot. You really need to have deep wax because as it hardens the wax really goes down, I am surprised of how much (my pot leaves rings of hard wax of where I started, thats how I tell) hope this helps.
