Dee Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 For Alohagirl and others that e-mailed me about the Aqua Rustics I posted. Tried this also without FO. Not quite the results I want yet. Took notes this time. Think I got too thick a layer at the top because I put the mold in the fridge first and it was very cold. For the other 2 layers, I just let them cool outside (it was cool in the morning). Got better results when the mold wasn't as cold as from the fridge. Got a little washboarding.Used 1245 and 5tbsp steric and UV protector. Not sure I really like this wax, but can't get 1343 here. Poured at 145 150 and 155.

topofmurrayhill Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Very nice, and you obviously can get frost without FO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Posted October 22, 2005 Author Share Posted October 22, 2005 Thanks all. Going to keep trying next week. Right now I'm off to the mountains for two days:bliss: . Absolutely no wax allowed, but you can be sure I will be checking out the candles in the shops lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Dee....you certainly got a good frost going there. I like the different layer look. I guess the huge amoung of steric helped it to unmold???? Without FO's that sounds scarey to me....LOL Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alohagirl Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Those are beautiful, Dee. I never would have thought it possible to get a great rustic finish without oil!And thanks for posting the photo so quickly--I'll be experimenting with your technique this weekend.

eugenia Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 The cold pour gives the texture, the excess stearic causes the frost.eVery nice, and you obviously can get frost without FO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
