lindsaycb Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I need some serious hints here. If I want to pour a 9" pillar but I angle my mold before pouring...I get drips and splashes down the candle in spots I'd prefer them not to be....What's the secret? Do I find a big metal funnel?

SnowCow Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 i don't have problems with the finished look when pouring at angles even with splashes up the side - they always seem to melt once i pour and *poof* gone. you could try heating the mold with heat gun or hairdryer before pouring next layer so any splashes melt down to the next layer.or.....are you talking about drips outside the mold? don't know what to tell you there, but maybe pour faster? i get drips down my pot, but not usually my mold. i;m sure i'm no help!

lindsaycb Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 Even if I'm doing my layers in a cold pour rustic effect they will melt? Hmmm, guess I'll give it a try.Nah, I'm not getting any wax on the outside of the mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryinCary Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 If I splash wax on a portion that I don't want it on I zap it with the heat gun. If your real careful you can "move" it slightly or all the way down to where the other wax is. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also try pouring down the wick or wick pin and see if that helps any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
