hfitz5051 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I made a strawberry kiwi pillar(from the peak kit) the other night and poured the extra wax into a muffin pan. I cut those into chunks today and poured just wax over them and got this. I think it came out great! Only the chunks are scented, but you can really smell them. I haven't burned it yet though. I can't wait to make more, I really like the look of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darwin Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Nice color on that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Looks good.I can show you a way with that pillar to make more of the chunks to show up. If I get a chance I will make a chunk then post pics of what I'm talking about.I do this because I think it's a waste, to put time consuming chunks into a pillar, only to have a few to show up.BTW - I charge more for my chunks because of the time it take to make the chunks.

ladysj Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Very nice I like the color and bet it smells great!! Candleman I agree about not being able to see all of them and can't wait to see you post your method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hfitz5051 Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 I read about taking a propane torch(I think) to the outside and was going to try it with my heat gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wookie130 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I can see the chunkies in your candle just fine!!!! It seems like your method really worked well for you...that's one beautiful candle, and I bet it smells fabulous! You're doing great!!!Producing that one candle that you really love is so encouraging! It means you're going to keep going, and make MORE!!! I have not yet made tilted layers, rustics, or chunkies, and I've been at the candle thing for about 2.5 years...I've done votives, TONS of container candles (my favorite), tarts, and have been getting the itch to attempt pillars. Maybe you can help me as I fumble around in my quest for creating a nice tilted layered rustic pillar...or some cute chunk candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Just curious what heating the outside does. Does it make them stick to the sides better I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everito Bandito Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I like the looks of your chunk candle too. It's a great first! :smiley2: I'll also like to see candleman's tips and techniques. Always like to learn more. One of these days I plan to make some chunk candles and just hope they will look half as good as yours. Way to Go!
