ajp Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 How do you apply the grubby bumpy look to pillars by hand..I know how to do the icing type way with a spoon or knife but how do you get that bumpy grubby look by hand and not just with a grubby mold?? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerJill Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Thought this was interesting from that second site:"Add the 5 ounces of candle scent, and give a quick stir, just enough to have the scent oil blend with the wax. This is about 30 seconds.......not 10 minutes! Remember people, the heat is going to release the scent from the wax.....common sense is needed here."

Kaylors Kreations Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 just remember Jill, they're having you add that amount of oil to 10# of wax, not just a lil pour pot's worth... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I can't argue with her, though, until I've tried it myself. I was taught to give a good two to three minute stir so it's one of those things from which I've never wavered.

Kaylors Kreations Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I see what your saying, its was about the mix time not the amount of FO... I always 'cook' my wax for 2 mins after all my additives have melted, to insure that my FO doesn't bind with they vybar, and then another 2 minutes after adding my FO. Though some FOs do take a little longer to blend into the wax, like my Acorn Harvest from NG. But who knows.. we all probably have a million different ways we do our thing.. but in the end if it *stinks* its a good thing...---- Libby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Bug Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I think the link's candles look pretty neat. My question is why would you even need to add scent to the wax you use to grubby it? It isn't going to add an awful lot of wax, is it? Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breigk Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 can this be done with soy wax or only pariffin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
