dcroome2005 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 As many know, hubby and I bought a house and moved into it recently. I had not been making candles since beginning of feb.. Well, I am back up and running and got an order for a tilted layer pillar. I was so proud of what I was doing until I woke up this morning and realized I forgot to pam my mold. I wonder if it's gonna come out or not .. Any suggestions or tips ? I had to top it off this morning so it's not ready just yet to come out but I hope I didn't just waste all that time and money and fragrance oil ( that I am now out of ) for nothing. Stupid me sometimes!!Christina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judyvega Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I've forgotten a couple of times, no biggie - all the old timers <ahem, Scented lol> say that once your molds are seasoned by use you don't need to spray them anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I never spray pillar molds unless it's unscented. It should still come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I never spray unless it's tin or plastic. What's this ahem lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvtobowl Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 You should be OK..I've been making pillars,sometimes non-scented, for years and never spray mine and they come out fine. From time to time I have one that wants to be stubborn and I pop it in the freezer for a few minutes and then it slides right out.:smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Fingers crossed that it will slip right out. If not a few minutes in the fridge should do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcroome2005 Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 Thank you all. It slid out with no problems. Here I was all worried that I messed it up. Whew! Thanks for the input!Christina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam W Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Christina -- you need a little mess-up for it to be a true rustic I've made countless rustics that did have to go back in the pot but a flaw here & there is what makes them unique IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcroome2005 Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 Thanks Pam.. But I wasn't going for a rustic. LOL Just a tilted layer pillar .. I gave up on Rustics because I could never ever do them like you all here!Christina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam W Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Thanks Pam.. But I wasn't going for a rustic. LOL Just a tilted layer pillar ..my bad...to me they are the same thing:p I could rarely get a perfectly smooth surface pillar - always seemed to get some rustic so I decided that if I couldn't beat 'em - I'd just join 'em!!

TxSioux Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Isn't it funny that now matter how many hundreds of times we do something ... it sure does evaporate into 'duh' so quickly!?! I think that's the definition of short-term memory auto pilot ... or in my case, a know-it-all that topped 40! No matter how many times I dedicate myself to keeping accurate notes, I always skip writing down the really simple stuff that is so simple it doesn't need to be written down. You know, the important stuff we forget to do! BTW, glad to hear you're settled in & back in business. Where are the pics?Susan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL yes.. we seem to always forget the simple things that are actually bigger then we think once we remember. LOL Pics of the house will be coming soon. My parents have been here helping out. We are still in the middle of stuff .. I could take some pictures of " work in progress" if ya want. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sara Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 the really simple stuff that is so simple it doesn't need to be written down. Isn't that the truth!!!Haha. You are definitely not alone. Glad it slid right out for you. I don't spray mine either. Beauty of seasoned molds. Especially if you're using FO. The unscented ones are the ones I have more of a problem with.

TwinMom Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Speaking of forgetting, I just made 2 forever pillars and duh totally used the WRONG WAX!! I had some left over wax IGI 1242 and thought hey let's make some forever candles.....back to square one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpowell Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Hi Christina.I was wondering where you went. It's been busy here so I haven't been on here much lately.I'm too late, but I was going to tell you not to worry. We don't spray our molds either, never have. Glad to see your back and hopefully you'll get settled in soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
