White Film on Finished Pieces


Recommended Posts

Hello!

I have a customer who is having some problems with a white film that is covering her finished candles after she demolds them from her silicone electric molds.

She is using a 140 par. wax from General wax. No additives, pouring at suggested temps.

She is getting a white film covering her candles after she demolds. I have given suggestions but none have worked.

She did mention that she is leaving her candles in the molds overnight. Do you think this might be the trouble?

When this happened to me it was my pouring temp but she insists that this is not the case.

Any tips would be helpful to both Dawn and myself.

I really appreciate any input.

Thanks so much!

Corey

You are right Corey, it is from them being left in the molds to long. Also the wax sometimes will do that. I buy a cheaper wax somtimes.. like the 140 and I always regret it. I like a higher temp... No probs then. Have her try to heat the mold first with a heat gun. Sometimes that helps.
