  1. Pillars, containers, votive, tea lights. That is what I do. I deal with Soy wax mainly but I have used some Paraffin wax I call Paraffin my icy sicky gooey wax.
  2. I use a old cookie sheet in the oven with 3 layers of paper towels. I do it at a low setting on heat.
  3. I use Soy and I heard that some people are allergic to Paraffin. I also heard Soy burns cleaner.
  4. I was wondering if I can get any information on using a cast aluminum double boiler. I think I have stainless steel.
  5. I was wondering if anyone uses Twitter to attract people to see their web site I have heard of this and I have done it. I really did it on cyber Monday. Who else has done this. I go by candle_tammy on Twitter.
  6. Layered candle I know you said you have a bunch of brown but that is what color I would choose for twigs may be layer with the colors brown and blue.
  7. Does any one have a web site that they recommend for me to get another double boiler to melt my wax in. I am trying to give my husband some ideas for Christmas. I have 2 already but wanting another. We got them so long ago can't remember where we got them.
  8. I use the Eco Pillar blend if that is what your asking I use the WR 2006 from Candle Wicks for my 3 inch wide pillars. If you have a pillar that is 3 1/2 inches wide I would try the WR 2008 wicks. All my pillar molds are made of metal and have holes already there so I just wick them and use a type of putty to hold the wick in place and try to keep the wax in the mold. ( I can not think of the proper name for this putty ) Good luck to you.
  9. I use whatever wax I am using at the time to prime my wicks.
  10. I know not to use crayola crayons to color candles cause to wick will not burn right. I was wondering if you can use them to color wickless candles ?
  11. They look good. Congratulations.
  12. News paper and small branches. (kindling)
