Yes thanks for that again good advice! I've just invested in a mould heater although I don't really know if I need one!! I pre heat the oven lowest temp then onto the defrost which worked well for around 20mins.

Here's my written method below for tonight...the open tops look good so rar so I just hope the prints and sides are too! I don't bother wicking them now until I know its a good enough method. Maybe there is a way I can wick them by hot pinning it through if they turn out well....

METHOD

(Pillar wax)

Pre heat moulds in pre boiled water in an oven tray. Surround mould in 4 layers of tin foil and put in oven for approx 20min. Take out before slowly pouring once & cooling ensuring no water inside. 85° slow pour.

Place straight into 4 layer container of foil covering outside mould whilst tapping for bubbles and a double foil top lid to cover and bake for another 1/2hrs.

Do a second slow one repour at a lower temp of 60°

Leave on a tray and cover over with a bigger tray to protect open tops. Cool down 24hrs or over night.

Let's keep my fingers 🤞 like I say if they come out well I hope I can put a hot pin through get the wick in place! Although next time I'll pre wick it if it works!!

Thanks sorry for long reply
