kdmorgan Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I need some advise for my rustics I used 1343a, 3 Tbsp Stearic, 1 oz pp of Smores FO. I used a new mold and coated it with cooking spray (thought I wiped it out good) If you look at the bottom of the pillar it looks like it has jumplines but it is actually pinholes all in nice little rows! The top is pretty marked up too. Does anyone know how to avoid these problems?TIA,Kim[ATTACH]9029[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladysj Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 It looks very nice to me. I agree with Eugenia that is part of the charm of rustics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Well you can get rid of them if you lightly heat gun or rub your fingers over the hardening wax or you can see where they'll be and just poke them with a skewer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcroome2005 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I still like it :-) The experts of Rustics have already chimmed in to help so I just wanted to say that it was still nice looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdmorgan Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 THanks guys...I thought someone would say it's part of the charm:D . I guess they wouldn't bother me so bad if they weren't so straight. Scented I will try my best and thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanya Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Pour slowly and tap. I always think it depends on the weather as to if I get pinholes or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsvlbrat Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 To me, rustics are unique in there own way. It adds to their appeal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I get those pits when I pour too fast...Tanya...full moon?? ROFLMAO...made me think about you pouring in your thong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybersix Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Hi Kim, first of all, I like you rustic very much.In these days I was doing various experiment, and I got the best result without spraying the mold.I just cleaned from the previous pour with a heat gun and paper towels, then I poured the new pillar. I got less pitts and pinholes than before. Maybe you can try and see what happens.HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll leave it out next time and see what I get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella1952 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 What kind of wax is this? The palm rustics that we make always have the most FASCINATING patterns and stuff... not just the crystals, but the jumplines and the rows of pinholes... I revere those imperfections! I am always so disappointed when I pour one that is perfect and has no character... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
