Hello everyone, i am not sure if i am in the right place to post this question. I love the rustic look in a candle and i have tried it but for some reason i don't get the rustic look. Is there a website or a step by step that i can see or read, please. Thank you in advance, Myrna

can i get the website for this place in Rochester? thank you.

Can anyone help me choose a good wax for pillars, i have been reading and there's just so much info i am a little confused....i see 50/50, soy, eco, what is all that. i have used the IGI 4625 to make pillars but these were the first and only pillars i have made. I don't know if there is anything better, please let me know...TIA Myrna

Hello everyone, i want to order some fragances from this site and i want to use IGI 4625 to make pillars, can anyone please give me your favorites. I love peaks fragances but i can't order from both, CS has a cheaper S/H for me. TIA Myrna

Thank you for the Info everyone:yay:

I am sorry what is CS?

Hello everyone, is anyone around here from NY, if so can you please tell me of any candle suppliers here in NY. I do candles as hobby and the S/H is killing me since i don't order a lot. please let me know and if you have ordered from them before, any insight will be appreciated, TIA.

Thank you again for your help Pam.

Pam thank you for the info. one last question i promise, don i need to tilt the mold to get the look of different shape? Thank you:yay:

Can anyone tell me what is palm wax? i am new at pillars

Hello everyone, i am reading this about rustic candles and i have been reading everywhere to find info on how to do the different colors and the layers. This was very, very helpful, you guys are the best. I have a couple of questions, how do you get the shape look on the pillars do you tilt the mold when you are pouring? and also do i have to have all my different candles colors melting at the same time? i only have one presto pot. do i need to get another one? and can someone give me an idea of the best wax for pillar candles and the wick. TIA Everyone. I want to make candles for my home.

Terri thank you so much for your input. this is what i needed to know, thanks a lot. :highfive:
