I was really having trouble with blowouts and everything else that can go wrong. Don't ask me about the one that caught fire. Thanks to all the advice and tips from those that responded to my original post, it's getting better each time. I think it will get better since I decided to read the label on the paraffin that I bought at Michael's Crafts. I was using paraffin designated for use in JARS!  Went back to the store today and found the right paraffin designated for pillars. It's about double the price, but what good is the cheaper one worth if it doesn't work?  

It's like the old story of the man that buys a pair of size 13 shoes because the price was so fantastic. He's so excited and proud and proud of his great find.  When he gets home, he realizes he wears a size 8 shoe!
