I'm trying to make pillar candles about 2-2.5 inches diameter and they're cracking badly - I'm assuming it's because they're cooling too quickly.
I'm using a polycarbonate mould and for my last attempt, I put it inside a length of plastic drainpipe filled with dry sand to act as insulation, and put a cover over the top but that didn't work, it still cracked.
Any suggestions for what I could try next?
