Lolas Lights Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Know ya'll are getting tired of my pics, but I'm addicted to chunkies and my camera. LOLHere are my rustic chunkies, which I didn't mean to be rustic but I didn't pour hot enough. Oh well practice makes perfect. Overlook my messy table.

MaryinCary Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I'm not tired of your pic's Lola! Your colors are real nice, but if you are trying to avoid that rustic look....take your handy dandy heat gun to that mold as soon as you do your over-pour (all the way around) for a minute or so and you will end up with a nice shiney flat surface! If you knew this already, then forget I said a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just love doing the chunkies, might be cuz I can't get a plain pillar to turn out right Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mozzie Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Lola, I LOVE your chunks, and these look terrific (of course). Keep up the good work. Oh, and thanks for the comment about rustics - the same thing keeps happening to me so I'll also try the heat gun treatment. Isn't it great how information and handy hints get passed around.

MommaD Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Wish I could get my chunks to look like yours. Those rock!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolas Lights Posted September 1, 2005 Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 Thanks all for looking and the great comments on my chunks. Just wish I could make a shiny smooth plain pillar. The one color plain ones come out with scratches and I don't know why, cuz I'm real careful taking them out of the mold. Oh well guess I'll keep trying. Thanks again.

sharyl55 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Love the colors on your chunky. Wish my chinks showed up a nice as yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Those sorta look like raspberry...they are a very pretty color and sometimes the look you are going for doesn't happen, but something better takes it's place. Those look great. I let my chunkies be rustic, because most of them I crackle and then it shines them up. If you use a tiny bit of Gloss Poly, 1/2 to 1 tsp to your wax it should fix it. You have to heat it high, but my candles always come out smooth when I use it. It took me a long time to do rustics because I didn't know not to use the gloss poly. It lightens the color too so be careful. Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonitaThanks.I want to try a crackle, but scared to do it...guess I'm chicken. afraid I'll ruin a good candle, but one of these days I'll try it and if I kill a candle, I'll just revive it with a remelt.
