JudyN Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I wonder how it would look to do a rustic or mottled in the fluted mold - does anyone know? I just got two fluted molds and love them. They are so pretty. Mine are 4x4 and 4x6.5 - I did them as a set in red and they are pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam W Posted November 17, 2005 Author Share Posted November 17, 2005 I've got one in the mold now & poured at 165* - we'll see if it produces any rustic. I did some strawberry over vanilla (tilted)a while back and got a little rustic in the grooves which I didn't want on those particular candles so I hit them with the heat gun to kill it. So it is definately possible - might take a few trys to get the pouring temp just right.I've been using 30ply wicks in these molds and get a decent mp but I wanna try 36ply to see if I can achieve self-comsumption. (that's w/1343 or Peak's straight paraffin.)Got some nice mottle in the white layer of the green/white candle. The green was some remelt & I added the white to fill up the mold.

candleslh Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I really like those scallops. Where'd you get the mold if you don't mind saying. I sometimes get tired of the regular round ones. Is your mold tin?I posted the brown rustics in a similar mold if you want to look at it. The title is "Look I made some for me" if memory is correct.

scentsibility Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 They look quite tall. How much wax did you use and how much would you sell them for??? I am working with a pound for each candle and just am not sure how to price them. My cost is about 3.00, but they look kinda small to ask 10.00 for. I do the layered pillars and they are very labor intensive, tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam W Posted November 18, 2005 Author Share Posted November 18, 2005 Candleslh: I think I got it at either Michael's or Joann's...which means I paid too much for it but really wanted it, sooooo Scentsibility: this particular mold measures 3 1/8" x 6 1/2" and if filled to the rim, it takes 1.7lbs of wax. I sold some to a friend for $9 but she ordered 6 of them so I gave her a break but to make just one for someone I'd charge more depending on the style & FO. These are all unscented so very little cost. I've only tested a couple FOs so won't be selling too many of them for a while. Here's a pic of a couple I made yesterday - weird thing is that one mottled a bunch and the other just a little - they're from the exact same batch of wax but poured at different times of day as I have only the one mold. (unscented w/2 tablespoons of stearic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
