lindanelson Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I add my color first at 180, stir really good (I use dye chips). Add fragrance oil right after that, (about 175). Stir well. Let cool to 135 to pour.This is what works for me in Northern Idaho. The room I pour in is about 72 degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisasst Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I have this wax, but can't use it because it frosts and cracks alot...I heat and pour at the temps you guys are saying, but I can't get it not to crack or frost, any suggestions?

crazymom Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Frosting seems to be minimal for me if I add the dye ( I use liquid dye) at a high temp (around 190) and stir well. I think the cracking issues you have may be due to cooling too fast. Try warming your molds before pouring, and or covering with a box while they are setting up. I have a cookie sheet lined with paper towels, put the molds on these, in the oven at 200 and take them out and set up to pour just before I am ready to pour. Keep my house at about 72 degrees most of the time.HTH I use the Ecosoya, and love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keystone Candle Supplies Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I have played this was and found that if I poured at 150-155 and heated the molds, they turned out nice and smooth. This one also cooks pretty bad when heated and reheated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandleindulgence Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Hi,Heat your wax to 180 degrees, add fragrance oil first and mix (this way you can see the fragrance oil has clearly blended into the wax), then add your dye chips (prefer dye chips over liquid dye). Allow wax to cool down to 145-150 and then pour into your mold half way. Allow candle to cool until it slightly solidifies and add the remaining wax. Leave approximately a 1/4" from top of mold (which will be the bottom of candle).Allow the candle to completely cool down for at least 24 hours and then remove.HTH,Jameel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
