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

I'm jealous too! Waiting on my goodie bag

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.

Haven't purchase from Kanagaroo Blue as of yet but Bittercreek North is great. Just wanted to say "hi" and welcome to the board.

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?

Thanks Henry,
No shrinkage is good .

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?

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.

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

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?

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

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.
