If the wax is “tempered” properly it will frost less. I can never remember the “proper” way to do it as frosting doesn’t bother me. And it still seems with time the frosting happens. Natural product and all that. I did have some one once swear that pouring the wax down a metal rod caused the ions to “hook” together. Or something to that affect. I haven’t actually tried it but it sounded interesting.

I decided to try making some tarts along with container this year and have just started playing around with it. I have used silicone chocolate molds which work great. The wax pops right out. Only problem so far I cannot solve is the frosting on the tarts. Any suggestions on getting rid of frosting on the tarts would be great. My theory is they cool too quickly but idk how to slow that down! Container candles made with the same pour have no frosting.

Yes, stearic acid will harden the wax but I am not sure if it will help with the contraction to get it out of the molds. HTH 🙂

I made melts from the left over wax and a silicone mold. They popped out ok, all I would say is that they seemed soft to the touch and probably shouldn’t be handled too much. I think a firmer wax would be better, I am going to try Pillar Wax.

My problem is that they smell great first burn but had no scent at the second burn. Any suggestions why?
