Kaczor Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Does anyone know how to call this type of candle and how to do it? http://geocandles.com/geometricCategory.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I do not know what they are called. I have seen them a lot. I am going to say you have to have a specialty molds and a band saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) Oh I think they're made in specific molds that aren't that deep, maybe 1/4" thick, but the key would be to wick them correctly because of the multiplicity in there. I bet you could try one in a pie pan or some kind of angel food cake ring on a surface. The trick would be how and where to put the wicks. So my guess would be: 1) have you geometric sized mold.2) Pour melted wax in at half of the depth you want to go. 3) When the wax starts to solidify, start laying on the wicks (Key will be to know what kind of circumference a wick gives to help with the spacing ... count on using wicking probably just above typical votive sizes as a starter maybe) (a) Think about where you want those wicks to end as you won't be tabbing them ( B ) Also consider how best to anchor your wicking, because they could move when you add the rest of your wax. 4) Pour the rest of your wax5) To make it look seamless, I'd suggest hitting the sides of the mold with a heat source. This is what initially comes to mind as a make-shift way to try it. Edited July 10, 2014 by Scented Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaczor Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 Thanks for all your suggestions. I'll try with ring for cake. I'll give you know how did it go and share with my experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Good luck! You might come up with other ways to try it and then you'll have to scope for clip or stand or something that will support that wax shape and weight. If they're popular where you are, you might go get one to make comparisons or at worse, an expensive dissection of the candle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
