soy327 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Well my daughter is getting married in 2 weeks, so I haven't been on the forum or making too many candles lately.I thought since I am getting the regular starburst pillars down pretty good I would try a chunck pillar. Wellll not so good:laugh2:I made my chuncks out of deep purple and used CS lavender vanilla as the FO. Then I made my over pour with no color but with the same FO. The candles came out crappy for my 1st try, but one thing, after curing for a week the overpour (which was white) turned yellow, was that because of the FO? and what could I do to keep it white? I would like to try again but not sure what I did wrong. Can anyone help? I don't have to make the chuncky's but would like to try again.

Debbie73 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I'm probably not going to be of much help because I used feather palm for my chunk pillars. I never did have any turn yellow, but the color of the chunks will bleed some into the uncolored part of the candle, which I think looks very pretty. I'm thinking they could be turning yellow because of the FO. Maybe someone who has used the starburst to make them will chime in here.Much luck with them!Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Try some UV Inhibitor in you wax next time. I get mine from CS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soy327 Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 Thank you, both of you. I did use the UV this time it's curing. I should have thought of that myself Da:laugh2:I use it in the soy candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
