lindsaycb Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 A pillar candle from a mold that has no holes? Sorry, but I just can't for the life of me come up with a way that would work for me. I don't want to drill the mold, because its leaves a dent on the top. Is there really a useful purpose of these types of molds? HELP...I'm a moron!

Scent Cellar Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I use wick pins in my pillar molds that don't have holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raggedy Dani Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 if you do'nt have wick pins....use a toothpick. for longer need...use those skewter stick...whatever they're called...lol what i use when I need a hole there....before it gets too hard...take it out. after it's set....then insert the wicks in there...use heat gun to warm the bottom of the candle to melt bit to attach the wick tab to candle....hope that helpsDani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Get a hole drilled into the mold, maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrchips Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I would get a hole drilled. You should be able to do it without denting. I would then recommend using wick pins. I use long knitting needles on my taller molds Don't use anything made of wood as s pin. The wax gets into the woodgrain and you'll never be able to pull it out.Boyd.
