    No problem Tony...votive wax or not it won't release from the molds. I have some EPB coming on Monday, I've made pillars with it with good results.

    Ugg! If that's the case no wonder it won't work. I went back and checked the supplier's site to make sure I didn't make a mistake and it's the 416 that I have. I got it from CS http://www.candlescience.com/wax/soy-wax.php they state pillars, votives and tarts. I guess I took for granted it worked about the same as the EPB. :embarasse

    Thanks for the tips I'm still unable to get this wax to release from the molds. I've tried twice again today, I tried pam first it didn't work then no pam in the fridge for 20 mins it didn't work. So, now they are in the oven melting yet again because they won't come out. I would think the molds are seasoned by now, they were used when I bought them and we've poured palm votives a couple times with no release problems. I've come to the conclusion this wax just isn't good for votives. I'm chucking it! I've had good results with Ecosoya PB in pillars I think I'm going to try it.

    There has to be a magic trick to getting the votives out of the metal molds. I've tried everything I could think of and still can't get them to release. I'm using GB 416 Pillar Blend. I searched the board but wasn't able to find anything about votives in this wax...maybe it's not great for votives? I've tried popping them in the freezer, silicone mold release spray, adding half Tbs coconut oil, pam...nothing seems to work. Is there a magic trick to this wax or should I chuck it and get another brand?

    I know this thread is old, sorry to bring it back up. I was just wondering if anybody had made a purchase of any these and could share their feedback?

    I've always used BC's wick stickums up until I switched waxes and they starting coming loose on almost every jar. We were painfully washing the jars also. I read about the GE Silicone II here and picked up some, let me tell you this stuff is amazing! We don't have to wash jars anymore saving a huge amount of prep time. We figured out it works great for sealant on pillar molds also.

    Amen! I get called almost weekly with people asking these same questions. I think it's only human after so long to get annoyed. Congratulations to the original poster, this event sounds really awesome!

    We use 8 X 8 X 8 to ship 4 candles, we get them from www.veripack.com they were on sale a couple weeks ago.

    I've not tried using tape but I can imagine it would be a pain. We use an impulse sealer to seal the ends of the tubing.
