Mozzie Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Hi, Haven't posted any pics for awhile so here goes. A couple of shots of my rustic pillar, scented with Pink Sugar fo. Haven't done a test burn yet so not sure what the hot throw will be like. Fingers crossed that it will be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tucker Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Now you've went and done it. Damn. Wife seen yer pink candle, "can you make me a pink candle for the bathroom" she says. Way to go Mozzie, I'm hooked. Any way in spite of it all, your candle looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mtngrl Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Miss Mozz from Oz (it's just fun to say! lol), FANTASTIC pink. Sadly, I'm not seeing a rustic effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanaE Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 It's a beautiful candle, but I DO think you could get some more rustic effect on the outside. When you unmolded it, was the inside covered in rustic? If so, try cleaning them as best as you can, then spray them with Pam and don't wipe it out. That'll help the rustic come out with the rest of the candle.Oh, and when I pour slightly too cool I actually lose the rustic effect (???). So now I'm trying to stay around 160, instead of the 150 I used to pour at....DanaE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In answer to your question, No, there wasn't any rustic left in the mould. My pouring temp was 145 and my wax MP is 130. Do you think I should move my pouring temp up or down? For instance, what is the MP of the wax you pour at 160? Cheers, Maureen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countrysoaper Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Oh my! i just love it!! the color is great!! way to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanaE Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 The meltpoint of my wax is about 135, if I remember correctly. If I pour at 150 I can occasionally get a rustic effect, but sometimes they just don't have any rustic at all. Try upping your temp to around 155 and see what happens. Just make sure the inside of your mold is incredibly clean. Sometimes I try to cheat and I halfway clean it, thinking "it looks good enough" but then I lose the rustic because it stays inside the mold. Adding a good bit of stearic helps too. I use 3 tablespoons per lb of wax and sometimes it's so rustic that I feel the need to scrap off some of the white stuff - LOL!.DanaE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momscandles Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Mooze those are awesome they look like they smell eatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Oh yes....hot hot hot......pink that is. My rustics just do what they do. I use a higher mp wax than you. They also are different depending on if I use tin or aluminum. I am always messing around and so nothing ever looks the same...oh well....it's not boring. LOL Donita (I do like steric for rustics too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
