starlessjade Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I decided to start a new thread since the other was getting long and I'm sure everyone was tired of wading through the posts. My rustics were turning out well when I first started making them- when it was still cold outside. It warmed up, and that's when they started turning out smooth no matter what I tried. In the last few days it's gone from 70 degrees to snowing (that's Arizona weather for you) and as it was cooling down, the candles I poured came out with more and more texture, and they're back to the way they were looking originally. What do you think? Has anyone noticed the temperature affecting the finish and texture of their rustics? I'm trying to figure out a way to test this by letting the candles cool at a lower temperature, but I think a fridge would be overkill so I'm not sure what else to try. Maybe I'll just have to make smooth candles for the next few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I don't know if that would affect them. However, when I tried to make my rustics with the peppermint patties I poured at 150 like I always do and they just didn't seem to want to work. It's a thought lol That is a good thing to chalk it up to anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlessjade Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share Posted March 29, 2007 Yep, it's a good thing to blame because it's not my fault!I did try different FOs to make sure it wasn't just a specific fragrance that was messing me up... nope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
