I have used old metal hangers that I have straightened spot soldered to my mold and then bent to create convenient handles. This way I can use the handles to transfer to bucket with water already in it. I find this eliminates most of not all surface blemishes. I actually like adding 4-5 I’ve cubes immediately after seeing the mold in the water bath. It seems to provide a high gloss surface that sets rapidly with minimal blemishes.

Hi Eleanor. I would use metal coat hangers to make a frame that grabs the base of the mold. Someone else asked the same question recently, so I will try to assemble a short tutorial that includes photos or a video.

Love the idea of using the water bath to creat different textures on the surface of the wax making the candle more interesting.
Thank you and certainly enjoy reading your suggestions.
