Ollivander Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I made 2 candles and one of them had a little frosting on the side (looks like snowflakes). Now since both were poured at about the same time and both jars were pre-heated with a heat gun and cooled in the same place (under a styrofoam cooler). Why would one get it and not another?I used 2 red reddi-glo dye chips. So what really does cause frosting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Oh my.....if you ever find the actual answer to that question and patent it, you will be one rich chandler!! If you talk to 50 people, you will get 50 different answers on what causes frost and why one candle will get it and not another. Good luck!!

Henryk Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 If I could get only the CBA to stick to glass like it used to, I would still be using it I really loved that wax ...(oh - I did various ratios of CBA and the Eco 135 and I still couldn't get it to stick - but I got the cold throw to be better).
