Hello, and a merry christmas to all. I have a question. I made some mottled pillars using 'pre-blended mottled wax', 1 oz per lb FO, and 175 degree. They turned out well, however there was a TON of oil surrounding the pillars. Would anyone know why? I know there is supposed to be some, but soooo much? Thanks for any input, Andy:undecided

Thanks so much guys. Great starting point... I'll let you know

Can anyone suggest which 3 wicks to use for a 6 x 6 round pillar? Can be cotton, LX, HTP, square braid... Thanks, just need a starting point, Andy

I think the top one on the left is a Honeypot.

Just wanted to thank everyone for all their input. I really appreciate it:wink2: Andy

Dee... no, I live in Montreal, Quebec. You? Ihave looked at the Wicks and Wax molds, but it seems like the corners aren't as wide as the ones from Voyageur. Do you know what I mean? I prefer those. It's really bothering me, because I thought that I once saw them in a 4" x 4" x 4", but I don't remember where.

Does anyone have any idea?:undecided

Maybe this will help

Thought I may ask one more mold question since I am on a roll (he, he, he). I can't find a square mold with rounded corners for the life of me (except Candlechem and voyageur). Voyageur has exactly the shape I want (corners have a large radius), except they are too small. I would prefer a little bigger. I know this is a tough one. Would anyone happen to know?:rolleyes2 Thanks AGAIN, Andy

Thanks everyone. Yes, as usual, you guys came to the rescue!CANDLE 911 :highfive: . Andy

Well, thanks for trying TLC. I appreciate it. And thanks for the info Amberlei, it was helpful. In that case, would anyone know the differences between the alum and metal molds? It seems that The metal ones come in so many more shapes and varieties, but of course, the alums are seamless... Thanks, Andy

Anyone????????

Would anyone know the differences in outcome between acrylic, alluminum, and metal or tin molds, and what the benefits would be in spending more on the acrylics? Thanks, Andy

I'm not quite sure which silicone I have, but I know it is clear in color and I got it at Home Depot. Just want to warn you that once it dries (about 30 seconds), it will NEVER come off.

Hello all. My dilemma is that I want to order some new molds and can't decide which sizes to buy. Either the 3" x 4", 3" x 6", and 3" x 9"....... or 3" x 4.5", etc... I know it is a personal decision, but why would someone order one instead of the other? Hope someone can help:rolleyes2 . Thanks Andy
