jenniejr Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Were you wanting it to look smoother; creamier? I'm guessing it would look that way if you left out the stearic. However, I think it looks great!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 It looks good. Not really sure what you mean. Color (its dark brown and oragne on my monitor), texture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Not sure what you were going for either, but it looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 You might pour at a hotter temp maybe 175*F-180*F and see if that helps. You might also should only use vibar as your additive the stearic may have caused your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentelrond Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 it may not be what you were looking for but i wish my candles came out like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaryinCary Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I would up the vybar to 1/2 t. pp and ditch the stearic! Pour around 175 and cool slowly. Pretty candle IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Or if you want a shiny surface on it, give it a water bath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
