Bruce when you read this I want you to know I'm very stinky and am in need of soap

I know Cet has made these with great success at her shows. Sold out of them. Of course for me I would have to first learn to sew.

Oh I love the dark ones, they are awesome looking.

I have gotten that sometimes with color blocks, hate it. I dont know if heating your wax higher will help dissolve the crud or not. I just went to liquid so as not to deal with that.

I flew to Michigan with candles and they held up well, they were pillars. I checked them instead of having them carry on.

I put major plumbers putty around the wick hole. Maybe try that.

I' ve been using this for about three weeks I think. I use 50/50 castor/jojoba with a little lavender and tea tree oil. So far my face has broken out about the same as before but no more then is normal. I was really scared it would become pizza face. So far so good so I'm sticking to it. As for my son I'm still nervous having him do it.

INteresting I have never noticed that in my rustics. I'm sure it's possible but has never bothered me, just as long as the burn and scent rocks.

I had some of those and had my kids color them. Cute boots.

The mold looks to be aluminum. The ones I got from a supplier were about $15 at the most and were made of metal. It's hard to say the value of the actual candle because the ones I've seen in stores have been so varient on prices.

Sounds like you hit a wonderful jackpot on the molds though. How totally cool.

Wow!

Wonder how many gallons of FO you would have to use for that?

And just test burning a couple of those would take what, 10 or 12 years?

LOL I'm still test burning the 10pound I made a couple months ago. As for scent I either use a fo that I'm not big on or unscented.

BTW I would love to hear about your experience after making a candle with it. I've been having fun making big pillars recently.

I have a spreadsheet where I figure out how much a certain size came to. Unfortunately I'm not on my home computer to be able to give you that info. But I dont know it will take over 24 hours to make LOL. Very cool

Oh I would love to know as well.

Cool beans dude

Depends on how much almond vs orange you would like. Play with different percentages till you get the smell you want. Some put it on cotton balls in a baggie to see if they go well together. Of course that wont give you %'s. I usually when doing cucumber and green together mix them in a shot glass before pouring into the wax.

I think it's more of a preference then anything else. I personally like unrefined butters on both fronts but some like refined do to the natural smell of the butters.

I'm thinking that your wax was on the cool side when you added fo and it didnt blend in well. I notice with my rustics I do not have the weeping I normally do with my mottles.

Pretty incredible! Love your new shelves

Sounds like you had some water in your wax, thats about the only way that could happen. If I remember right... Lin had this problem months ago and it was water in the wax heating up and building up pressure to the point of it blowing off the top unmelted wax. She posted pics and it was a mess.

Bruce

Bet that is what happened.

Wow, that is actually really cool

Very pretty

Oh I like them very much

HI back and LOL who are you!!!! It's driving me nuts

I would say 24ply would work best. I have used that as well on my pyramids.
