after my fiasco with the container wax, I was wondering what the best wax for pillars is. I have been using hobby lobby wax but normally can't buy that in bulk. Hope

150 lbs minus a tiny bit.

Hey, I was wondering what your opinions are on Totally Wicked.. You see, its a play on words, wicked, yet it also means awesome. Hope

I bought IGI - 4627 by mistake. I can't send the wax back. I was wondering if there are any ways to make pillar candles out of it???? Hope

Straight parafin? I don't know, I buy it at a store. The name brand is called Crafty Candles. It doesn't say preblended or if you need to add additives or anything. I have tried different formulas with it to see if I could find one that works. I don't recall the formulas. I do know that I used universal additive, vybar 103, nd stearic acid. Not all together, I know. I used them all alone, and then I know that I used the vybar and the stearic acid together in one, but I don't remember how much I used of them, because none of them seemed to work. Hope

mostly parafin, with 1 tbsp per lb of wax of universal additive. I haven't got around to buying pre blended. I thought that it would be cheaper using additives. I just need to know, can that be prevented. Even store bought candles some times spill over. Hope

mostly 3" wide candles, different lengths. 1/0 unwaxed square braid wick. says recommended for 3-4" diam pillars. I tried using the smaller size which I believe is 2/0, for 2-3", but nothing seems to work Hope

I am new to the boards, but have been trying to make decent candles for a while. My only problem is, when I burn the candle I still have to deal with spill overs. I am using the appropriate wick size, or at least the recommended size. I don't know if this is a problem that I can correct but if it is, I would love to know how. Thanks, Hope
