khuntley Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 New at this and not sure what has happened. My container candles (some of them, luckily not all) have begun to get a "mottled" appearance on the top. Anyone know what I did?Thanks up front for any help.

khuntley Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 Using astor J223 - i wonder if i put the lids on the candles too early...could this mess up the top appearance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
country creek Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 How soon did you put the lids on? Most people wait until the candles have at least set up b4 putting them on. Do they look like snowflakes?? If you have a heat gun just zap them until your tops are smooth then next time leave the lids off and see if that makes a difference.

tcc Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 is it like a weird swirled looking pattern on the top? I use J223 and sometimes I get it and I just hit it with my handy dandy heat gun and it's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khuntley Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 Thanks - i will try the heat gun...didn't put lids on for 10-12 hours, so that probably isnt it....but, you are right..it is a swirling looking appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
