hyp0r Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Can anyone let me in on the secret of holding your mold at an angle? I'd like to make some of those angled layered candles that I see everywhere, but I'm having trouble thinking of something to hold the mold. Thanks!

Mozzie Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Hi, I stick my moulds in a bowl of (uncooked) rice. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I use large angle things.. Oh I can't think of what they are really used for! They are by the plate hangers and doll stands in the craft section at Wal Mart. They're gold colored.. And skinny, and metal.. What in the heck are they called!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!! They'll tilt a 3x3 up to a 3x9 perfectly and all the same angles. A must when doing sets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam W Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I used to use a bowl filled with whatever then DH made me a holder. Took a 2x4 and cut 2 V notches in it.( so I can do 2 at once) I put the bottom of the mold against the wall and tilt it into the V notch.

Trish Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I use a big box that isn't very deep with unpopped popcorn kernels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachf19 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I only did it once so far (see pic. posted a little over a week ago...), but I used the little box that the Good season's dressing mix 4 pack comes in... Couldn't find anything else at the spur of the moment, and it worked like a charm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Have my own tilter that someone was most kind to make, but before that, I was using styrofoam and putting indentions in blocks of it and then setting my molds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!I have the solution to your problem, but you'll have to wait until this fall (if all goes well). Julie (Scented) knows what I'm talking about.

hyp0r Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 Wow, it seems like everyone has a different way of doing it. Thanks for all of your suggestions, looks like I have a lot of options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Steve, we have been waiting since last Fall - at least it seems to be that long - to see your invention. Can you hurry up the development process? I need all the pillar help I can get. Currently using a box of sand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
