SilverOrchid Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Luck! Feel the force of the candle! LOL See what you started with the "be one with the wax"? LOLOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racooper Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 I have it poured. It is a pillar. I used Peak Cornucopia and used the Rust die chip. This went too fast! Now I am going to have to make another one tomorrow. But I should probably hold back my excitement until I see how this one turns out! Dh's contribution to the candle is WOW that smells good!!!! Let's hope it is as pretty as it smells! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racooper Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 Made a mistake. Must be all the drugs I am on (Very nasty cold)I was closely watching how much I poured (insert, obviously not watching close enough) and too much went in the candle, and I only have about 1/8th of an inch in the bottom of my boiler. I was like CRAP!!!!! But too late now. I will just top this one off the way I used to and make sure I don't make the same mistake next time. I should be one with the wax, but now I am one with the benadhryl, motrin and Tylonel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candle Man Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 If you don't have enough wax to re-pour, not a problem, you can just melt the bottom and have a shorter pillar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racooper Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 Thanks Candle Man! Do you have any recommendations on how to melt the bottom like that? My husband's idea was to take a kife to the bottom. I like your idea better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
