Plugging mold holes

[pandacandlemaker]

I apologize in advance if this is an old question, but every time I try a search, I never get results! lol

How you successfully plug the holes in pillar molds? I've tried rubber plugs (didn't work), the stuff that looks like putty (didn't work), even tried tape (didn't work). It's not fun having half the candle flowing across my work table!

TIA

Hi,,I use wick screws and then use plumber putty to cover that up and make sure it is sealed well,,,,you may want to look to the sidebar on the left < under basic instructions,,it shows you step by step on the pillar molds,,HTH

I use the putty with success, but I also use wick pins with my pillar mold. Email me if you want more info on how I do it.

TY both for info. The first few pillars I did were a breeze ... now it seems I can't do anything right! lol

Oh well, I'll keep plugging along!!

I use a rubber plug. and then i use my glue gun and cover the plug and all of the wick that is showing. I've never had a leak doing this. sometimes, espcially on ball molds, i'll put plumbers putty over the dried glue.
