eugenia Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Thanks for looking, I like the frost effect, but a few spots stayed in the mold:sad2: , maybe I better use a little mold release?Nice work! I say no on the mold release, some do use it. Don't chill your molds Pour room temp and cool at room temp. Some frost may get lost. That's the nature of the beast and what makes these candles unique.e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbuddy Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 You did great! I love them!Irena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnjieBurdett Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Those are absolutely breathtaking! Both sets are just seriously awesome. These are what got me wanting to make candles in the first place, I used to 'dream' about making candles like that, and I am being serious *lol*. Don't you dare find fault with them, they are totally perfect .I don't use mould release either, never have. I find if I leave my candles in the mould long enough (until they are totally cool and there is a gap between wax and mould) then I don't lose much frosting most of the time. I pour with my moulds at room temp and cool at room temp too.Now lets see MORE candles!! Anjie,x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I get a little anxious to unmold at times, so maybe I need to be a little more patient. Thanks for the advice, over the years you have posted many a beautiful candle!

AnjieBurdett Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 One quick question ..... I was staring at your candles again *lol* thinking how flippin gorgeous they were when it hit me that the little blue candle has the layers overlaping the wrong way! How did you do that? Did you wick it the right way up, as in the top of the mould as the top of the candle instead of the bottom of mould as top of candle? Anjie,x.

Could it be the way I turned the candle for the photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
