Ahhh...thanks for the warning!!...out of habit I poke holes and refill anyhow, it just didn't seem to make a difference and I was gonna stop...but now I won't...

Should have been more specific: The Wax is called "All Natural Crystal Pillar". Right about the wick. I originally put in the recommended "LX German Coreless" brand LX20 (4 1/2" to 5 1/2" Pillar) which I saw recommended for Veggie wax... It tunneled and drowned in no time! I replaced it with my trusty Heinz Coreless Pre-tab CD-18 (4" to 5" Pillar). In the pic the CD-18 hasn't had time yet to do it's damage to the pillar walls but it burns great. Dont have any CD-20 on hand, which is probablly what it needs.

I ordered this wax accidently from "Candles&Supplies", for some reason I didn't realize it was a Palm veggie wax...which I wouldn't have ordered after dealing with soy pillar wax. However, it turns out to be fantastic. It looks good, seems to be 1 pour and has a smooth "silky" finish. It also seems to easily absorb FO (even Vanilla). After reading the boards I was expecting to have trouble with it sticking in the mold, however it actually begins pulling away from the mold and will slide right out even before the centers solidify! Scented: "Drakkar Type" from RA (Black Cube). "French Vanilla" by Peak (Yellow4" Round) "Cool Water Type" by RA (Blue Cube) Happy New Year All

You people are wonderful...thank you all!! c

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it in a forum search... Is there a wasy to re-melt old "used" wax and strain it through something to clean it up? I always make large 4" round pillars and I want to re-melt and re-poure the perfectly fine leftovers (FO is expensive!)...but sometimes there is carbon build up around the inside etc..... Of course in re-melts a lot of junk falls to the bottom of the pot anyhow and I've just been careful to pour around it, but I thought I saw mentioned somewhere the wax can be "strained' or something...of course I could be completely wrong about this... I remember this mentioned somewhere before but darn if I can find it... chas38
