AkainePSP Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Is it possible to make pillars or votives using this wax?ThanksKelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Glass Glow is a container blend. Other palm waxes are more appropriate for pillars and votives. Oh, and you'd never get it out of the mold if ya tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharig Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Glass Glow is a container blend. Other palm waxes are more appropriate for pillars and votives. Oh, and you'd never get it out of the mold if ya tried. AND NOW YOU TELL ME! Seriously, this past week have been messing around with glass glow and starburst. Apparently I mixed up when I put wax into mold and for the life of me I couldn't figure out why the damn wax wouldn't come out of the mold. Remelted that sucker 3 times before it occured to me that it's glass glow instead of starburst. Ughhh....I must have had a brain fart or something! But yes, Stella is right, trust me! You will never get the glass glow out of the mold! ~Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I think the "secret" ingredient in Glass Glow is superglue.:rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkainePSP Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 uh oh that means the excess I put in my tart molds is not gonna come out!!!! I am new to making candles so I would really appreciate some help with something. I read in a post that I take .86 x weight of water in container and that should give me the proper amount of wax to melt. Well I had enough leftover for about 9 .8 oz. tarts. What am I doing wrong? Last time I tried using one of the calculators and oh my I had a ton of excess wax.Thanks,Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen B Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 You might get lucky and it could come out of the tart mold. I've poured extra in muffin tins they they slid out. (shape small and wider on top than on the bottom) Pillars this stuff will not work in, it will not come out. I have a theory that it expands a little as it crystalizes. I say this because I tried making a few tea lights and the cups cracked, I couldn't figure out what I was doing but now I think it's just the way it crystalizes.Karen B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anabanana's candles Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 It should come out of your tart mold easily. I put my excess in them all the time and they pop out really easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
