Brat Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I read that IGI 4625 wasn't good for rustics, but I tried it anyway. The 3 here are from the same batch of wax. I just added more dye for the third. (I miscalculated the amount I needed, so had enough for a third one.) These were all poured at the same temp. The outside two were in my new seamless aluminum molds and they didn't get the rustic look. The one in the middle was with my cheap hobby lobby tin mold. Just from the looks of it, I'd say this wax can make a rustic if you use a cheap thin tin mold... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladysj Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Gorgeous I love those colors. I have 2 of those molds from Hobby Lobby and have had great succes with rustics in them lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 They do look good.The outer two, that were poured in a seamless mold, look like some of the rustic finish stuck in the mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat Posted July 23, 2006 Author Share Posted July 23, 2006 Thanks!They do look good.The outer two, that were poured in a seamless mold, look like some of the rustic finish stuck in the mold.The molds were pretty clean when I pulled them out, just a teeny tiny bit of stuff. Not nearly enough for it to cause the candle to be naked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brat Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 Don't give up!I poured these at 150, every single layer. And swooshed the wax around to the top of the mold with every layer. If that helps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scentsibility Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I have been using 4625 for a couple years for my rustics...it works great..you just have to pour cool...that's the trick...and swish..you got it!!!!j. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspencreek Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 The 4625 is what I use also. Have always had great sucess. I also cool my molds before I pour and that helps a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NattyCat Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 can you make rustics with soy? I've never made rustics and only use soy...but would like to give it a go if soy works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 I think so, but I'm not sure... give it a shot and see what happens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtngrl Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I wouldn't have called your thread "rustic attempts". It appears to me that you were successful on all 3. Even if the candles lost some of the rustic, it just adds a new dimension. NattyCat, you can look on the veggie candle board section & see if it's possible to get a rustic out of soy wax.
