michiganrocks Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Does anyone know where I can find a tapered flower (scalloped shape) mold that can be used to make cut and curl candles? I have been making candles for a few years, but a friend wants me to experiment and make her unity candle! I have never done a cut and curl candle before. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks:rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I have only seen the tapered star used for them but maybe someone else can help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 The scallop mold wont work very well, you need a star mold. Either tapered or not, but def. a star mold.the reason, is on a star mold the edges are sharp on your core candle, and you need that because after dipping them 20-25 times, they are no longer sharp, but rather dull and rounded, and to use the scallop I would think the edges would disappear completely after all the dipping. Good luck, and it def takes practice to get good at the cut n curl. I've been doing the cnc for about 9 months now, and still need lots of practice.

michiganrocks Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 Thanks, I have star molds, never thought about what all the layers would do to the shape:grin2: What type of wax do you use to make cnc candles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I use 1343 with a bit of micro wax in it. (about an ounce per pound, but even straight works fine)HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
