Margaritamama Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Okay, so I don't know if you all remember that I was having problems getting my 1274 to mottle. Eventually we figured out that I wasn't using enough FO. So I try again.... New wax, this time I add 1 Tbsp Stearic, and 1oz Peak's German Chocolate Cake FO. This is what I get.........

Margaritamama Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 ....not allowing myself to get discouraged, I try again. This time I use the same wax, 1 Tbsp stearic, and I make up 1 oz of FO mixing Peaks Key Lime and Fresh Baked Pie Crust. And this is what I get.......When I saw this baby come out of the mold, I let out an almighty WHOOPEE!!!!!!! Just the mottle I've been looking for. Don't know what the difference is between the two, but oh well, at least this one mottled..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsvlbrat Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Oops - I guess I should of phrased it " did you use the same wax on both"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaritamama Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 Same wax from the same slab of 1274, same stearic, both FO's from Peaks...... Weird huh?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaybee23 Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Very pretty green and nice mottle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Nice mottle. Perhaps the difference is in the FOs. You'd probably get more mottling by adding more German Choc. Cake FO in that brown candle. I know weird things happen lol, but congrats on the mottling working on the second go around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistress-of-light Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Also the rate at which they cool can make a difference in the mottling. I always wrap a towel around mine to make sure they cool slowly. So maybe it was that.Either way the lime is very pretty:yay: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaritamama Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 I tried to make the experiment as equal as possible, so I cooled them both down in the same way. On my countertop, in the same place, at the same time of day... Go figure????I was so excited at how the green turned out. I just used the color diamonds. One bright green, and one yellow!
