Cheri101 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I was just wondering if anyone makes dough bowl candle. I have tried to make them and some work and some don’t. I’m getting very frustrated. I have wasted about 15lbs of wax and tons of wicks and oils. My dough bowls are about 5inches by 8 inches. I used banana nut bread and hot hot apple pie from Candle Science and they work great! When I tried Love Spell from Candle Science and Clean Cotton from Lonestar, nothing, no hot throw what so ever! Please Help!!! I have tried eco wicks ranging from eco 14 all the down to eco 8. The eco 14 works the best as far as melt pool. I have also tried hpt wicks 93 and 83. I have also tried zinc wicks. I have all these wicks with Cbl 125 wax and IGI 6006 wax and getting no hot throw with these two scents. I use 3 wicks in each candle and tried different pouring temps and fo adding temps and still nothing. I don’t use any dyes and even tried wrapping them with plastic wrap to keep in the scent because dough bowels don’t have lids. Any thoughts, ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated because I’m about to give up. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightLight Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 What you’re doing wrong is using dough bowls! They are a fire hazard. Just because you see other people making them doesn’t mean you should. Wood and fire equal 🔥🔥🔥 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 The general consensus of posters on this forum is against using flammable and combustible materials in (or to contain) candles. Have read candle suppliers who sell the wooden bowls do not recommend they be used for candles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
