    Hello Scented, Yes, my candle self-consumed using the LX 18 and the LX20. I put both of the pillars on a pillar plate and it burned all the way to the bottom. When I stated "I'm torn between a few wick selections" I was merely thinking is this how a pillar should burn-All the way down. My confusion came into play when I read on the message board that some candlemakers are able to have a shell with their pillar. I don't have a shell and I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. Thanks, Vickie/Chicago P.S. The scent was Tall Grass Peaks

    Good Evening, I've been testing my pillars for about a week now and I'm torn between a few wick selections. Wax - 4625 Wicks - LX 18, LX 22, Flat Braid 24 FO - Peaks Pillar Size 3x3 Mold The question is...Has anyone used RRD wicks in their pillar? I tried RRD 34 this morning and I really like the way it's burning! It's a though the pillar is hugging itself-the sides are turning inside. It was a slow start, but now it looks great. One more question, I'm using a round mold and the candles self-consumers (no shell) with the LX 18 and LX22. Is this right? Thanks, Vickie/Chicago

    Thanks for your response. Well, I made the palm pillar and it came out lovely! I wish I had a digital camera to show it off. Vickie

    Hello, I just got my order from Peaks and I purchased alot of goodies. I will be using some of the wick pins for my pillars. Quick question, do you just drop them inside the mold or push it in from the bottom? Vickie/Chicago

    Thank you for your response. This KY Votive/Pillar blend has hardly shrunk but I poked holes anyway.

    Hello, Would anyone know if Veggie wax shrinks when cooling like the paraffin wax does? Vickie

    Hello, I made a candle with 1343 yesterday and one with KY Votive/Pillar Blend this morning. I was able to get the shrinking with 1343, but with the KY Votive/Pillar there is hardly any shrinking. I did poke the relief holes on both of them. Just wondering if there should be shrinking with the KY Votive/Pillar blend. Vickie/Chicago

    I love Peak's too! I just ordered some more FO's that I have never tried. Why fix what's not broken...JoyWax + Peaks = Goodness for me Vickie/Chicago

    Hello All, Is it me or what? I've tried other FO besides Peaks and they are not that good with my Joy Wax. I carry 21 scents from Peaks and I am trying to add 4 more...some sexy scents. No luck! I've tried Bittercreek, NG, and Candle Cocoon. Do most of you JoyWax users use Peaks? Vickie/Chicago

    Hello All, I have just one quick question that is driving me crazy. I love nature sounds and I would like the sound on my opening page of my website. The website is in its infancy stage, but nevertheless I would love to have it. Do anyone know if I would be infringing on the artist if I put a snipit on my website? The song is from Target...their section of nature, jazz, piano etc. You know the section where you can hear just a little of the song before your purchase it Vickie/Chicago

    Hello All, It's been quite some time since I've been on the board. With school, kids, and hubby it's been really hard trying to juggle my habit. Well, I am back in the saddle. I went down into the basement to check out the Presto Pots and they were screaming "TURN US ON.". I can't wait to talk to some of the seasoned ladies and newbies. Vickie/Chicago
