lindanelson Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 After looking at all the beautiful pillars from Jojo T. I had to try.This scented in Cucumber Green Tea with palm wax.How do I get even lines? I tilted the mold on it's side, let set a little, then turned and did the same thing. At the end, I set the mold upright and finished filling to the top.

lindanelson Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 Thanks everyone.The wax is IGI 2778 palm pillar wax from Let It Shine. Peak has the same wax.I used liquid sage green in one pot and no color in another. I started out with no color, then added 2 drops for the next pour. I wanted more white, so I went to the second pour pot. For the next pour of green, I added another drop of sage green. The no colored one was used for the very last pour.

Tallbabydoll Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 (edited) It's hard to get clean lines because of bleeding. But if your wax isn't hot enough the next layer wont adhere. Try pouring a thin layer of wax, then let it cool, to act as a protective layer to prevent bleeding. After that cools, pour your next layer.

Jojo T. Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Hi Linda, Those colours look great - I like it. If you want to get smooth lines, try heat gunning the mould a little on the outside near the top of the layer you have just poured, that way the top of the new layer will be smoothed out where it touches the mould. Like you have already said, it's just practice. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindanelson Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 Thank you Sue and JoJo. I'll try the heat gun. Hopefully this weekend, I'll have time to play again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Oh I don't know. I kind of like the slight rough look between the layers. Thinking with my fingers here lol. I do like the look of the candle. How'd it burn for ya? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
