StephD Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I have a 6-cavity plastic votive mold from pourette to make the ring top votives. I'm using the KY pillar/votive blend and the self-centering wick. I'll have to look it up. Anyway, I'm getting sink holes with the wax clinging to the wick pin. Any suggestions?Thank you!

ubure Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Hi Stephanie,maybe you're pouring to hot? I always get the best results when pouring at around 100°. But I'm not using your wax (mine is Ecosoya CB pillar blend).And what about a second pour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephD Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 I'll try that. I tried what the paper said for the votive mold and the votives broke where I did the repour! Go figure. Anyway, I'll try that tomorrow! Thanks! Stephanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubure Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Did you do the second pour about 5-10° hotter? otherwise the two layers won't assemble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephD Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 There would be the answer to why my votive broke at the 2nd layer! I did not pour 5-10 degrees hotter. It was about 20 degrees cooler. Duh! lol Thanks. I'm gonna play around with them today. I have lots of wax!Stephanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creeksidecandles Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 We use CSP-1 for our votives, pour at 150, and never need a repour. We love it. Just adding my 2 cents worth.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
