Rich Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Thought that I'd share this. Messing about experimenting with palm. This 18 inch palm taper had 3 tsp vybar 3451 added. It has created stunning marbling with the sky blue dye. Didn't expect that lol. Also, surface is hard as iron with glass like finish. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura C Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Neat, that looks pretty. I've never used palm wax but I have used vybar with other waxes. Since the candle is so hard wonder if it will be difficult to wick? Does it have a wick? I have made some hard container candles in the past and they were hard to wick and melted very slowly. Which, in some cases could be a good thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 It is wicked, with a thick MP20 flat braid. Unfortunately, it burns like a horses ass. Wick destroyed and drowned out in half hour. Did not drip though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 Below is the 18 inch pyrex taper mould i used, standard black navy taper been made at present, again testing the MP20 wick. Love these moulds. Range from 8 inch to 36 inch for church. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LilFirecracker Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 That came out so gorgeous! And unique! Good luck if you decide to follow thru with trying to wick it to burn good. Great for someone who loves a challenge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 You know there is another use for that if you have the right molds. You could do the palm vybar as the outer candle shell with the candle inside for burning. All you would need to do is put a finished candle inside a slightly larger mold and pour around it. As the candle burns down you would want the outer 'shell' to stay intake. It would create a beautiful luminescent glowing candle as it burned as the glow of the candle goes through the shell. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
