Gravity Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Had the urge to start playing tonight, and since I've never attempted a layered soy before, eh.. why not?The bottom layer got side-frosted really badly. I had the bright idea to zap it with the heat gun to make a perfectly level edge for the next layer to rest on top of.. clearly, that was a bad idea... :rolleyes2 The layers aren't perfectly level, but, again... this was my first try at layering 100% soy.... and basically did it as a learning experience.It's 3 of my favorite autumn scents... the top is Pumpkin Crunch Cake, Creme Brulee in the middle, and Frangelico Streudel at the bottom. Can't wait to burn it and see how they blend together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onesweetscent Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I think your layers look great first time or not. Keep up the good work. That's the best thing about "playing around". You get to learn and play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastAer Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I'm sitting here looking at mine just thinking, should I burn it? No, I have to wait!Temptation........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junebug Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I bet it smells yummy!! I attemted to layer a couple soy candles. A search revealed that some say to pour the next layer a day later. I still have not tried that, waiting for wicks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravity Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 Hmmm... these were poured and only set up long enough to be solid between layers... and they meshed well together. The only really ugly part is the frosting on the bottom layer where I tried the heat-gun approach.The line between the pumpkin and the creme brulee came out very nice (albiet a little wavy... didn't get a perfectly level pour on that layer) and the line between the creme brulee and the frangelico is nice and crisp and straight... I might try the day-between-layers thing.. but I think this worked out fine.What was the reason for a day wait between layers?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escentiallysoy Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I tried to layer a candle once, I think with caramel, buttercream, and cannot remember the other scent. Anyway when it burned down to the next layer is smelled like melted plastic! Any thoughts on why this may have happened?? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onesweetscent Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Not sure what could have made that happened. Sound like to wax was left too long on the heat. Sometimes if the wax is over heated, it can sound burned or just have no smell at all. I'm not sure if this is what happened to you but I sell layers all the time and they all smell great. Well, that's what they say. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carol k Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 looks great, bet it's going to smell great too. what are you putting in your soy to keep it from bleeding together. i used pure soy and after awhile the colors bleed together.
