  1. I'm using Astolite PQ right now for my pillars. I would like to switch to a wax that I can get rustic with. Do you mind me asking what what you used to get those great looking candles?!
  2. I have had mine for a few months now and I think I love it more each time I use it. No liners, wonderful size bar. I have the 18 bar size. I find that a 60oz batch is just right. The only bad thing is that I only have 1!! Best investment I ever made. Just might have to get another one!
  3. I think the color is great! They look so pretty in the box. Great look!
  4. I used to use a log mold and line it with a grocery bag. I didn't like it because I always had a crumpled look to the bottom of my soap. Could never get it flat. I now use a Keilsi (sp) mold and LOVE it!!
  5. I always burn one at my show too. I also have one that is all the way to the bottom to show how clean they burn. I usually burn Harvest or Spiced Cranberry.
  6. That's a great looking candle! What wax did you use for it?
  7. I'm thinking of switching from PQ to something else. Been reading alot about the 1343. Am in love with the mottled pillars I've been seeing. That's what I want to make. So I guess I want to know what the favorite mottled wax is. Can you help me out?
  8. Great looking candles! You should be very proud of them.
  9. HenryK, why do you think you will stop using the 1343 and go with the 1218? Also when you get the rustic look out of 1343 do you add anything else to the wax? I used the 1343 before I switched to all soy and natural. I also didn't make pillars then, just votives out of it. Does it require a second pour ?
  10. I have a small supply left but it is imposible to get now at least for awhile. I am thinking of using the IGI 1343 but use all soy in my containers. Is is wrong to use both? I love the look of the rustic pillars and make some good looking ones now with the PQ. Anyone got any opinions?
  11. Did you use some coloring in them too? They sure look nice!
  12. What kind of mold did you use. I sure like the clean cut you got!
  13. Just made some pillars using asian sandalwood from peaks. Has anyone put it in soap yet?
