    I have purchased the new clear molds, with silcome base - Anyone familiar with using these? The removable base prevents you from picking up and dipping in cold water to set. Any advise would be appreciated. AndiWood

    I use hot water to clean everything - works great Question of the plastic molds - just purchased the poly carb mold with the silicone base - have not made a pour yet, how does this work - base is not attached - the mold just kinda sits on it - so I cannot pick it up and do a cold water dip to set - any comments or advise I would appreciate Andiwood

    Answer to why copyright? I am a candle fanatic and love to see new creations. There are some really beautiful ones out there, I am a fan of small business and crafters, I have seen many new ideas and I often see the mass producers taking these ideas and making them their own. I have read up on copyrights and wondered what you all thought, is it worth it, etc. Thanks for your responses

    Can you copyright your candle designs? I see that copyright note on many websites? Would love to hear your responses. AndiWood

    Where can I get some information regarding soy wax,vs. veg wax vs. bee wax vs. parafin? Doing craft fairs for my first year has been alot of fun, I have met some super people (crafters) and heard pros and cons of wax types and use and benefits - would like to get the real facts. Examples: Was told that burning parafin candles will kill a pet bird? There are many more but you all get my drift. Thanks so much Andi Wood

    Jeanette You stated add 1 TBSP to wax before whipping it What am I adding to make it whiter? Thanks so much:wink2:

    Hey All: I bought a mixer at a dollar store and found a small container to whip the wax. It did turn out nicely but not what I was looking for. I want that effect inside my candle shell - this method pretty much was for the top - and did exactly what you all told me it would. I am on another quest to figure out how to make my candle wax look like it is whipped but more lumpy - like it has a dimension to it. Thanks so much Andi Wood

    Can you tell me a little about this technique? Can you do it by hand and at what temperature? Will the end result make the wax look like whipped creamy ? I would love to try this if I had a little direction. Thanks so much AndiWood

    I think I will try the double boiler - I used a hot plate and a cookie sheet -did not like result. Thanks so much I will also try to do the pour in layers - I will let you know how that turns out I was under impression I had to one pour to keep my wall smooth and shiny and intact - but I have remelted a few trying new things. Thanks again

    Thank you for your response. My question is I put lots of embeds in walls and some stay put but a few will float or sink after I make my pour-yes I use insert - When you say use chunks of wax - do you mean embed the embeds in the chunks before I pour? Thanks

    I am new to the craft and have been enjoying every moment. I am going to craft shows and have my candles in some local stores and have met lots of wonderful people who are very supportive of local crafters. I have a few questions to you experts out there. What is the best way to level the top of these candles, so that they look even and natural all the way around? Any suggestions for keeping your embeds in place, keeping them from dropping or floating to the tops? Thanks you Andilwood
