Wick'n'Wax Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Hiya,what effect does it have to the appearance of the candle if you cool it in the fridge?How long can you leave a candle in the mould to set without any detriment to the candle? (i.e. could I leave one in now 10.30pm and take it out in the morning, say 12hours)also, is it ok to keep asking so many questions? soz, I'm learning all the time and you guys are brilliant xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NattyCat Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 if you cool the candle too fast, it could cause mottling and frosting. Candles are best left to cool slowly, preferably at a steady room temperature, out of draughts if you want to have a smooth even finish.You can put the candle in the fridge for 15 minutes to half an hour if it doesn't slide out of the mould easily. It is absolutely fine to pour tonight and wait until tomorrow morning - in fact, it's best that way because you won't get impatient and try to force the candle out of the mould, or accidently pull the wick right out by trying to pull the candle out of the mould before it's ready (and I bet LOTS of people on here can say that they have experiences that joy.....me included)Nat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NattyCat Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 no hun? Did you get mine about the moulds? If you want them - just shout and I'll send them up. I think they're both tin ones from Pourette - a cone shaped one and an octagon one.Nat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I won't make candles at night, only because you have to keep the relief holes open. I don't poke relief holes until a couple of hours later and then agian about ever hour, just to keep holes open as wax shrinks. I will pour mine in the morning and then do the repour before I turn in. This works for me and no suprises in the middle of the candle.
