Can you use a heat gun to heat pillar molds? How long does it take to heat them? Still dont have a heat gun yet!

Yes you can. Shouldn't take too long before it heats up.
If you don't have a heat gun, you can put them in the oven, about 150 degrees for a little bit.

I aim the heat gun into the mold and it only takes a few seconds to get very warm. I find that if I make the mold "hot" it causes pits on the surface of my candles.

don't have a heat gun either, but my hair dryer does a darn good job! just be careful you don't have anything lying around that you don't want blown away! i keep a finger on the bottom side of the candle and wait till it feels pretty warm.

No, it didn't. Sorry if it embarrased you. It's just that there are sooo many threads discussing the uses of heat guns so frequently. Not to mention I was feeling crabby  I appologize

LOL...a lot of questions on heat guns for sure. They have them cheap at hardware stores lynnleann. You will burn out your hair dryer fast.
