knlarson Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I think I may have actually had some luck with parrafin this time. I used IGI 4794, poured @170, repoured @180. These are eggnog scented. I tried 2 wicks and the LX-14 seems to work best. Those are the photos below. I didn't level the bottoms yet so I think that's why there is a bit more wax on one side. I will try burning another tomorrow after I level it. Please give me feedback if you see something wrong that I don't see. One more question... I used wick pins and when I took the pin out there was a very thin break in the wax at the top of the votive where the pin was. I tried to take a photo of it but it's so small that it didn't show up in the photo. Does anyone else get these lines in their votives?Thanks a lot. This website is so helpful!!I edited to add a photo of votive pre-burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsvlbrat Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I'm not sure what you are talking about but your votives are burning nice! I typically don't level mine, I just let the wax melt around them. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistress-of-light Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 As the wax hardens it shrinks and sometimes I have pulled the wick pin out to early and that causes a small crack. It is not a problem though just put the pin back in and use a heat gun and let it cool completly. Nice votives and I don't see anything wrong with them. good job.
