Mottling requires crystalline structures, which takes TIME. Cheers, Alan

I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
I pour at 190

I found the cardboard absorbs some of the oils. I take the chips out first, though. HaHa!

Seepage will occur and usually dries up over a few days. If it’s excessive though, you may want to cut back on the fragrance oil usage.

I’m sure I added way too much because my pillars are really oily.

Are this a definite requirement or will plastic moulds be ok.
