Rae Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I just tried the rustic pillars today and mine turned out somewhat greasy on the outside. I did not use any mold spray. Anybody have any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 IMO you might have used too much FO and mayby not enough stearic acid. I don't over load my candles with oil....usually about 3 to 4% is all. And about 3% stearic. I only get oily candles when making mottles that have way too much oil. Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rae Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 Thanks, Donita,I use 1.5 oz per pound. I have never used the sternic. I am new to pillars and I was just going by the instructions. I will buy some sternic and see ifthat helps. Do you think the amount of FO I am using is too much for the rustic candles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
