geodon99 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 (edited) I was watching a video by Candles and Supplies. It was about an hour long video demonstration making a cut and curl candle. Apparently the oil chamber was the entire length of the candle. I'm wondering how they get the center hollowed out the entire length of the candle. Is there a special mold for that when you make the core? Edited April 4, 2018 by geodon99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 If I understand what you're saying, you can build a core candle with a hallow center that would take an insert later. I'd probably have to see the video first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Yep they have a core candle that was made/poured around an insert. Then they do the dipping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 It's not the entire length of the candle, but yes, @Scented is correct. The mold has a wooden 'peg' attached to it, then you put the plastic well over the peg, and pour your core candle. (this system from Candles and Supplies is from a company called CandleFun, - and it's who my original vats, carving tools and molds are all from) Then after the candle is cut/carved, you take the handle holding the core candle out and fill with liquid paraffin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
