judyvega Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 A couple of weeks ago I was given some Pourette molds from a lady in my church who used to make candles, but has not been able to pour in several years due to macular degeneration (bless her heart). Anyhow, among these molds are two flexible ones - blue rubbery ones...is this a silicone? The only silicone molds I have are baby blocks which are a very thick pink silicone - these from Pourette are pretty thin...I'm not sure what different effects I can get from these molds - anyone know what I'm talking about here who can give some insight? TIA (in particular I guess I'm wondering if they can rustic or mottle, or be just plain ....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Now how long you been on this board not to share pictures? LOL!They could be more of a rubber mold, which should be similar to silicone, possibly not as sturdy. Hard to say. They used to have these molds that you peeled the rubber of off when they were hard, but they need a little support as they hang. (Is the wording of this post just wrong or what?)

I will go downstairs tonight or tomorrow and dig them out of the box of molds she gave me and give a better description along w/pics.

Scented Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 If it's the rubber ones, I think a sturdy cardboard collar ought to work for suspending them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure HOW to suspend them. This is so out of my element lol. Have you had experience w/these, then? I hate to pester you with questions, but I'm not sure what techniques I can use w/them. I have some ideas on what I'd like to do w/them, but don't want to waste wax or additives if it won't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
