    Whenever I have a bit of wax left over from making pillars, I make a few votives. I've found it to work fine!

    Hi there...
  4. Margaritamama
    Thank You...... I don't make candles for a living, just for fun and personal use. So next time my family asks me what "flavor" my mixes are, I'll reply "candlaneous" !

    WHAT IS THAT? - Monster from the Bog?!?!?!?!? Hope you didn't pay to much for it, and can get your money back........

    "Candlaneous" - That's excellent!!!!

    I saw that the other day and wondered who had lost their mind!?!?!? At the bottom of the page you can add your own suggestions, so I gather some smarta$$ decided to add that. However, someone must be editing these things right????

    I've been doing that with my leftover wax from making pillars. When I have enough I just melt them up, and make mixed layer candles. Most times they come out really nicely. I try and mix scents that don't scream at each other. Like mix the bakery scents together, fruity scents etc.....

    I use 1/3 pineapple and 2/3 coconut.

    Thank You - that makes perfect sense.... I learn something new about this candlemaking stuff every day!!!! Topofmurrayhill - Thanks to you to. Your replies are always so erudite and help explain things really well.

    ....according to IGI it's a blend. Their description states "IGI 1274 is a paraffin wax blend designed for use in "mottling" pillar and votive candles. http://www.igiwax.com/downloads/pis/pis_1274.pdf Am I the dufus or is blend and pre-blend two different things?!?!?

    Those are so cute - and I agree, wonderful Christmas gifts. All of you are now getting me interested in making containers...... as if having hundreds of pillars around the house is not enough!

    Excellent. I love the effect, and it's a whole lot quicker than my 2 or so hours of engraving!!!!!

    I'm pretty new to the whole candlemaking thing, and all the additives and stuff used to confuse me, so I started with pre-blends, and have been very successful in producing rustic, and mottled pillars. For rustic pillars, I use 4625 adding only FO and dye. For mottling I use 1274 and I add 3 Tbs of stearic (to retain the FO), FO and dye. Pretty simple, and you'll come up with some pretty cool candles. Once you've mastered the basics, you can start trying some of the "recipes" of the pros in this forum. Good Luck.......

    Thank you......

    Donita, I use 1274 for mottles. Well, at least I know it's the wax, and not me..... will just a plain 1343 work???
  21. Margaritamama
    Gorgeous, as usual........
  22. Margaritamama
    Those are truly beautiful, and I would be proud to have any of them in my home!!

    Thoughts and blessings to all in Texas. Let's pray it won't be as bad as they say......

    Thank you Tucker - I appreciate the vote of confidence! Yes, I see it's as clear as mud, and the instructions are the simplest thing, but my point is it's not working. I need help, not smarta$$ comments.........
  25. Margaritamama
    I think it's 4625....
