scntdwik Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 How long should I be waiting before trying to get the candles out of my aluminum molds? I get impatient and try to get them out after about 3 hours and it doesnt seem to work so well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin'Hot Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 You really have to wait until they are completely cooled. In some cases, I go overnite! Remember--patience is a virtue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlesprite7 Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 I almost always wait over night...unless i'm making votives, then I just wait about 4-5 hours...My basement is cool so they cool quickly.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Learn patience lol! Candle needs to be cold to the touch and you need to see that it's pulling away from the sides. If possible leave it alone till tomorrow lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breanna Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 LMBO,,,I know how ya feel,,the first thing I had to learn was patience and making candles has taught me that!!! You will be fine!!! I wait till it is cooled and I too sometimes wait over night,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glowlite Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 I've killed many nice looking pillars becuase I didn't want to wait. Now I leave them over night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlemom Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I also leave mine overnight. Or I pour early in the morning and have to leave the house and go somewhere, if not I find myself becoming very impatient and touching the mold about 20 times to check.Theresa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Ditto overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
