snow Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I made another one last night, left it in the mold all night and it unmolded beautiffly. I'll post a pic later. The problem is...there is one place on the candle where like the outer layer didn't stick to the candle core. I touched it and a piece of it fell off and you can see a space between it, what causes that? The rest of it is good. My first one did that too but I thought the fridge caused it, but no fridge this time, and it slid out of the mold real easy. It would be the part of the candle that is poured last as it sits in the mold. Any advice? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll see what I mean when I post the pic, right now gotta take my mom to the Dr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Your wax may have been just a bit too cool. Especially is it's so cool that air bubbles start making a foam on top as you pour. That happens to me occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
