MrDan 158 Report post Posted August 8, 2018 I decided to throw some scrap wax into one of the old Pourette molds I inherited, and this is what came out. Theres not a whole lot of detail involved with this one, so if you can’t tell it’s the “Heat No Evil” of the trip of chimps. He sits at 1 foot, and weighs in at an impressive 1 lb 4 oz. If you notice the dark spot near the bottom, well, that’s 40+ year old wax that original owner never cleaned out! Anway, I think if I was to seriously pour this candle (and the rest of the set), I’d have to spend a little time carving to bring out the minimal detail. Damn, that’s a lot of wax though!

kandlekrazy 1,374 Report post Posted August 8, 2018 that is a big one! Cute but yeah the set would be almost 4#. I think if I poured those I'd be using candle paint but I don't carve (well just my hands occasionally) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hopie 266 Report post Posted August 8, 2018 DANG, yep, that's a big 'un! Love him! Since you're an artist, maybe you can carve him up a bit, and see what you come up with. So fun, huh? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I avoid it whenever I can, lol I think a lot of these older molds were made with less detail to accommodate painting, since it was so popular back in the 70s. I might just play around with this tester one and see what I can slice out! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarah S 901 Report post Posted August 9, 2018 Very cool! That's a massive candle for sure! I like the carving idea, that could give it an even more unique look! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
