kdmorgan Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I poured a few votives tonight. I really wanted to color them a burnt red but I don't have any yet so I used pumpkin color and then darkened it with a little black to top it off. I used Autumn Leaves FO and WOW is it too strong. I just don't care for it at all. (Almost forgot...I think I repoured too soon because it seems to sink too much around the wick...what do you guys think?)[ATTACH]8115[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajl Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Those are cute, I like the slight contrast between the colours. And yes, it does look like you did your repour a little bit too soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzie Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Love the colour, and yes, wait a bit longer before repouring. Nice finish though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdmorgan Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 Thanks everyone. Patience, patience, patience. Looks like this is going to be one of my greatest challenges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 (Almost forgot...I think I repoured too soon because it seems to sink too much around the wick...what do you guys think?) Yes. Lately I've been having to do two repours no matter how long the candle sits to cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsvlbrat Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Nice colors, I like the darker on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdmorgan Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 Yes. Lately I've been having to do two repours no matter how long the candle sits to cool.I tried that but the wax didn't blend in and just ended up sitting on top. Looked horrble. (should of tried pouring hotter I guess) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharyl55 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 You might want to try poking some relief holes with a small wooden skewer in your votives. I use 6228 for mine and found relief holes made the 2nd pour a lot easier. Don't know what I'm going to do when I run out of 6228 inventory.

boggled Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I like the color difference between the top and the body of the votives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
