:yay: Thanks to Mozzie!!! She came visit me (what a lovely person!!) and she broght me some palm wax to try. This is a 3x3 pillar made with cloudy (I guess it's crystallizing) palm wax, scented spring rain (again, thanks to Mozzie!). The color was jade, but this wax makes all colors lighter!

Very pretty, Sabrina - I'm too scared to try palm wax due to the wicking issues, but I love the looks of it!

yes, i love the look very much, I'm seraching for a way to buy some palm wax somewhere, but it's really hard for me!

Thank you!

Perfect !

You picked a good height too IMO. Pouring 3x3 or 3x4 (or 3x3.5 or 3x4.5) should give you a good looking palm candle even as it burns to the bottom. (I used to use LXs in my palms but haven't made them in a while).

:yay: thank you!! the orchid pillar burned for about three hours (just a bit more) with a 36 ply FB.. and it still has a thick shell.. about half inch.. is it right?

I got a weak hot throw, but since I used an FO I don't know, I can't tell if it's because the quality of FO or something else.. it's an Alabaster FO (never used), I used it at 5%.

Thanks to all!

Oh come on Judy- you make gorgeous candles. They are not that hard to wick, I promise. It's rumors that many have a hard time, but trust me, you can nail it with a few wicks :-)
