What am I doing wrong??


Recommended Posts

I made a few marbled candles and I just can't seem to get enough marble in them. I'm thinking its in my mixing. I am using astro v wax and a piller mold, letting the wax cool down to slushy and adding a few drops of liquid dye. I tried leaving the base wax white and also tried coloring it in light shades, but I dont get very much marble. Sometimes I get a lot of marble on the top or bottom but if I try mixing more I get hardly none. When you put your color drops into the wax what do you stir it around with, and do you stir it all around from top to bottom? I think I'm messing up with that part of it. After its in the mold I use the heat gun on the sides, poke holes and tap and heat gun the top. Any help? I need some.....:rolleyes2 Thanks, Dee Oh...I tried stirring with a spoon and I also tried stirring with a wooden skewer.
