burnt_fingers Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 My wife once again wants me to make another candle. Why is it she loves candles, but I end up making them? lol Anyway, she likes the look of starburst palm. What I like to know is what you all are using to insulate your molds for a slow even cooling?

Pam W Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 You can set a cardboard box over them, put them in a styrofoam type ice chest, or wrap them with towels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 All of the above plus preheating the mold and if making several, preheat the oven to 200°F, put the candles in there in a baking pan and turn the oven off. Don't forget to relieve the air traps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnt_fingers Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 Thanks for the tips. I'll have to give some of those a try and see which ones give me the most starbusts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
