k&g Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Had leftover wax in a few melting pots that I wanted to empty ... this is what turned out!I 'think' the scents are orange creamsicle, heavenly and bird of paradise. Even though there is a yellow stripe I didn't pour anything yellow! The orange creamsicle is pretty strong so that's the scent I'm picking up most.

aswan01 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 That's the way to be thrifty and not waste one ounce of wax! And it turned out so well, too! If I did that I would probably get a stinky, brown blob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceCarvesWax Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Then what is that round circle/ hole on top?Maybe she used a wick pin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Maybe she used a wick pin.Hmm. I think you may be on to something. Should we tell her that A. Wick pin is used outside the mold except with votives.B. The pillar is upside down.C. All of the above.:smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pillar is upside down.C. All of the above.:smiley2:I did use a wick pinI always use them on the inside of the moldThe pillar is not upside downThere is no hole in the top of the candle - may look that way in the picture. This is the way I have made candles for years. It may not be the way anyone else does it - but it works for me.Thanks to everyone that thought it looked nice.

eugenia Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Lori, what is that indentation in the top then? Did you perhaps light it before the pic?e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k&g Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 The indentation is from the bottom of the wick pin. A dime is thicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceCarvesWax Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I WIN~ it is the wick pin that made that shape in whats now the top but when poured was the bottom. I don't make those candles Lori but I'm guessing that the others set up their molds just like you do but put the wick pin on the outside of the mold with the pin part sticking threw the hole and the circle under the mold using mold sealer to keep them from leaking. Works great and no lines show up.. but if your molds don't have holes in them, your way would be the best for sure. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
