snow Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I have made a few marbled pillers, they turn out exceptable but not quite what I'm looking for. Sometimes I get hardly no marble look and sometimes I get a lot like at the bottom of the pillar but not all the way through, what am I doing wrong? I am using astro V votive and pillar wax, adding light color to the hot wax and scent and letting the wax cool down, stirring it up at times. When it gets like a slushy consistancy I am adding 3 drops of liquid color and stirring around a bit. Then pour, or spoon, it into my heated mold. Bang it on the table a bit and heat gun the sides and top to smooth it out. Please tell me what else I need to be doing to get more marbled look. Thank you..DeeOh...do most of you color your hot wax or leave it white? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 should the wax kinda look like melted ice cream or harder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Probably shouldn't be quite so "liquid" when adding the color and pouring. Other than that it sounds to me like that technique is about the same one I use for my marbled pillars. And depending on the color of the marble I am going for depends on whether I color my hot wax or not. Sometimes I do, but most times I just leave it white.
