flutterbye Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 For some reason lately, on nearly all of my round hurricanes, I am getting this kinda crack or fingernail effect on the surface of the outer shell. It's only in one spot and only on the round sizes. I'm not doing anything different in additives, pouring/cooling, etc. It just keeps happening and I can't for the life of me figure out why or how to make it stop. Anyone else had this happen or have any suggestions? I can't keep repouring these in hopes that one may turn out. It's wasting a lot of time and money and driving me mad!

AntoniasCreations Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Is it always in the same spot? I cant really tell from the picture but one of the pillar molds I have will leave that kind of thing (from what I can see of it) on my candles so I just stop using that mold. Well sorry if this is no help.Antonia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flutterbye Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 It's not in the same spot everytime, and sometimes it's not there but most times it is. It's unpredictable with every round mold. I'm thinking that maybe after awhile the molds start to get slightly mis-shapen and lose their perfectly round shape and this may be the cause. They all look fine though and sometimes they work great. I would just hate the idea of having to replace 18 molds. I've used a brand new mold though and it happened. I'm stumped!! I just poured 4 photo canes tonight for an order and three of them had it. Now I have to reprint the photos and repour Could a bad batch of wax contribute to this (1260) ?
