cybersix Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Hello, this is my try with a fluted mold. I wanted a rustic, obviously I got the smoother candle of the world. But I like it anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybersix Posted June 3, 2006 Author Share Posted June 3, 2006 and here two pics of a zig zag candle. I had a lot of problem with this mold, the result is nice, but I don't know if I will be using it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donita Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Your candle is very pretty even if it isn't what you were going for. I have yet to try that mold. I want to. I like the way you have it displayed with the stones. Big Sis Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jojo T. Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 As usual Sabrina, your candles are wonderful. I especially like the fluted one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I have that zig zag mold! I love it, and it's a very popular seller for me. Trying to get both sides level and the same height is somewhat of a challenge, but it sure is fun, the color combo's you can come up with!! I also have the yin-yang mold. Love that one too.

Mozzie Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Sabrina, they both look lovely and the fluted looks great non-rustic, a really nice finish. Look forward to seeing them for myself in July. Mozz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinMom Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Great looking candles...where did you get the zig zag mold? I have never seen a candle like that before....Jenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 I got my mold from Pourette. Mine burn really well. They consume the whole diameter without any hugging at all, and I've never had a blowout or a spill over.Sabrina, I really like the fluted candle too. Looks really good.

cybersix Posted June 4, 2006 Author Share Posted June 4, 2006 I got the mold form candlechem, but Pourette carries it also.Jcandleattic, could you explain what you mean when you say that this candle burns in all its diameter? they are actually two candles, sorry I don't understand. Anyway, I'm going to start the test burn.Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybersix Posted June 4, 2006 Author Share Posted June 4, 2006 Here is the first test burn.Two thing I have to say:the candles are not scentedthe wick is 24 ply FB.The first two pics are after a 30 minutes burn. The white candle is burning a little faster than the blue.Here after 1 hourAny suggestions?I have to try using scent, but from what I see I think I could wick down a bit.I had to stop to burn because the white part was melting on the outer edge.Thanks for looking.

Anyway, I'm going to start the test burn.Thanks!Yeah, 2 candles. But I burn mine together like a 2 wick candle. Once the mp comes together, they kind of meld together. I wish I had a pic of what mine looks like burning. What I mean by the "consume the whole diameter" is it burns to the edge of the diameter, leaves a very thin shell, like maybe 1/8 to 1/4 inch shell that will completely turn in and consume itself. (I hope that makes sense) It gets to there after about 4 hours of burning. I have done several marathon burn tests though because once it gets to that point it almost looks like it's going to spill over but I have burned about 4 of them at a marathon rate (over 8 hours at a time) and have never had a spill over or a blow out. Hope this all makes sense. Oh and when I sell them to people I explain that even though they are in essence 2 candles, to burn them together as one to get the best results. I've not had any luck at all burning them seperately. HTH a little for how I do mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The white one is probably burning faster because it has no dye and the little bit of dye in the blue one may be slowing that burn down a little bit. I use a 24fb on mine too, but like I said in an earlier post, I burn mine together, because when trying to burn them seperately they always spilled over, but I didn'treally think an 18fb would work, (and don't have any 20fb) so I gave up and put them together. Never have had a problem since. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
