snow Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I tried a few of these and they came out ok, but one question....how cool do you let your wax get? Everyone says slushy, kinda like the consistancy of wax when you are going to whip it or not quite? I let mine cool and couldn't pour it into the mold, kinda had to spoon it in, is that to cool? I mean it worked, but it was a little messy. But if I'm doing it right, I guess its a messy job! Thanks, Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlesprite7 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Ive only done a couple marbles, but I let the wax cool so that you have to spoon it into the mold. Be sure to tap the mold a lot to make the wax settle well..so you dont get air bubbles. Then use your heat gun on the outside to help get more of the air bubbles out.

snow Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 Thanks Kim, thats what I've been doing, so I guess I'm on the right track. I was afraid to use the heat gun to much, thought it would take the marble out, but I guess not, huh? Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I let it form a skin about twice and then work quickly. But I don't tap molds. I have to slam them instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
