I made another one and heated the mold before I poured the wax. No cracks this time. But still a little wax to clean out before I could take the insert out. And I found that using a pair of pliers pulled it right out. I'm using the same silicone insert with a screw and concave molds. How tight do you tighten the screw?

I want to make candles using a silicone tealight insert I bought from a company. You insert it in the mold before pouring the wax. I made one and when I took it out of the mold, I had to pry the insert out of the wax. And there were cracks on the candle. And wax got under the insert. I used a concave seamless mold. Has anyone done this and had any success. I'm using pillar Palm wax.

I have a friend who orders a lot of Eucalyptus tarts. The Eucalyptus scent came from Mr. Missy's. She loves it because it is so strong. I sent her samples from two different companies, but she said they are not strong enough. Does anyone know of a company with a strong Eucalyptus scent. Or maybe someone has some Mr Missy's Eucalyptus scent for sale. Ordering samples is getting expensive. Not the cost of the bottle but the shipping.

I'm looking for a strong and true Eucalyptus Scent like Mr Missy's used to sell. Thanks for any suggestions.

I am going to start making votives using pillar palm wax. I use zinc wicks. Does anyone know what size zinc wick I need to use to make a votives burn right?

I made one and it came out of the mold okay. It has a wide base. I'm just wondering how fragile it will be to sell to people.

I am thinking of using pillar palm wax in a 2-pice rubber mold. It makes a cactus with two arms. I am wondering how strong the candle will be. Any comments?

I used zinc wicks and they work fine. I use the 51-31-18 zin wick for my 3" diameter pillar candles.

Does anyone make cupcake candles using whipped IGI 4630 wax for the icing. And if you do, do you ship any to customers. If so, how do you pack them so they make it with the icing intact.

Thanks for the info. What I need is an embed that is about 1" tall. Very small.

Thanks for the replies. What I need is a very small embed mold. Probably no more than 1" long.

Thanks for the info.

Does anyone know where I can buy a small dragon embed mold. I want to make these and put them on top of icing on cupcake candles.

I am making jumbo cupcakes for my class reunion. Our mascot is a purple dragon. Does anyone know where I can find a dragon embed mold. I had one years ago but sold it with supplies. Of course, now I need it. I want to make these and put them on top of the icing.

Thanks. I'll try that.
