Sara Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Here's some info: http://www.candletech.com/coldpours/ It doesn't have the layering/tilting info in there, though. A tutorial on them would be good... anyone up for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 You can do this chica! Just don't think of it as hard. Seriously. Pour cold, slosh, wait a few seconds, pour rapidly to fill it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wick'n'Wax Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 scented, cold as in what temp?I stopped trying with rustic, love the look, just couldn't 'crack' it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 About 150 is what I pour at. Course you need 3 heaping T of steric per pound. Never give up ... once you get the hang of it you'll have a V-8 moment.Just pour a little, slosh, wait about 20-30 seconds and then pour fast.

Wick'n'Wax Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 right, as soon as i get some more stearin, i promise i'll try it that way mind you i think a big prob with mine was the mould, was loads of rustic left inside, almost as if it had been peeled off the candle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I buy generic cooking spray...spray the molds, wipe good, then pour. You don't loose so much frost that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 right' date=' as soon as i get some more stearin, i promise i'll try it that way mind you i think a big prob with mine was the mould, was loads of rustic left inside, almost as if it had been peeled off the candle[/quote']Couple of things come to mind there:1) up your pour temp a couple of degrees2) did you cool them in a fridge/freezer? If so, don't do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleHippie Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Here is some information that might help you.http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52125&highlight=layersI am still trying to make these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam W Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Well, did you make one, huh? huh? did ya? huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Pam I didn't get your PM, JSYK They really aren't as hard as they seem, and the fun part is that you really get to "play" with the wax. I never took temps on mine, mostly waited until it got cool enough in the pot to form a skin, stir it in and then pour. The most difficult part (for me) was figuring out the right time/temp (w/o taking temps, still) to pour so that the layers stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizbizzyb Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 Well, did you make one, huh? huh? did ya? huh?Not yet....after I left work today I took my step-daughter and her sister shopping.

silkysoycreations Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 How do you get layered rustics without sloshing around too much to cover up the next layer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
