BrySC Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I'm wanting to experiment with something new, so I chose a coffee bean candle. I bought the wax beans, but I'm not sure how you do this. If you put the beans in the bottom of the mold, when you take it out of the mold, they'll be at the top. (since candles are upside down in the molds) So, how do y'all make coffee bean candles? I did a search on the forum for "coffee beans", but didn't really see how to do it.Thanks for any info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 The best and safest way to make "Real" coffee bean candles would be a hurricane. A hurricane candle uses high melt point wax for the outside shell then you could wick and pour a lower pelt point container wax in the center. http://www.candletech.com/hurricanes/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Would think you could make a chunk pillar. Then you could place your wax coffee beans where you want them in the chunks. Or you could pour your pillar in layers and put the wax coffee beans in the layer you want. Understand I have not made a coffee bean pillar. I just got my coffee bean mold and have been playing with containers. I don't know what you paid for your wax coffee beans but I can tell you those little suckers are a pain to make. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
