Ok, so my first experience with candle molds is behind me. Well silicone molds at least. I made the rose candles this past weekend and it was a good learning experience. Everything went well until I took the candles out of the mold and saw all the dots (air bubbles). So, I realized I poured at the wrong temperature. After a little research and checking with those wiser in such candle endeavors than I am, I confirmed my suspicions. I let way too much time go by with adding dye and scent and should have checked the temperature before pouring and I did not do that. So, I learned a valuable lesson. I did a second attempt and poured at the proper temperature and voila! The rose candles came out so much better and I am pleased with the results. Now I just have to do the other color, assemble, package and then mail my gift. Here are some pics of this weekend’s trials.
