Makukula Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I am so excited, that I just cant hide it, I'm about to lose control and I think I like it. Ok seriously, I just finished my first candle and i LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! AFter I finish this post I am off to make my second one. I followed Peak's instuctions, minus the dont let the second pour go over the inital line of the first pour, so I have a ridge at the bottom, but I actually love the fact that its there, it looks like it was supposed to be there! Anyhoo, just wanted to share my excitement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tychels Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Congratulations! What did you make, container or mold? I am right behind you.. I finally have all my supplies and have been reading reading and trying to learn all I can before I get started.. I am waiting impatiently for my hubby to modify my Presto pot (he promised he would do it tomorrow..lol) Hopefully (fingers crossed) I will get to make my first candle tomorrow!!

comfortscents Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I think we all remember our first candle...I bought my daughter a yaley set when she was in Jr H.S. I remember that first airhole crater and not knowing what to do..but I have a question..maybe because some of you have mecanically inclined hubby's and mine isn't even permitted to pick up a phillips head screwdriver..do most of you have your presto pots converted? I just use mine the way it comes although I would love to have that little faucet on the bottom of my pot but do a lot of you pour with your pots converted? I must still be pouring like a cavewoman...lol..I fire up my pots in the a.m. and pour melted wax from presto pot into my pour pots. I would love to have my pot adapted but to purchase one that way is way too expensive for me so my only choice is to have hubby do it..which isn't a choice at all...in 28 years he has never opened his tool box and have it work out well for him..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makukula Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 It works!! It really works!!! I burned my candle today and it was just absolutely wonderful to see it burn, with a great flame, and a great scent too. I actually used the double boiler method, not a presto pot. I figure, let me learn the basics before moving onto more tools. It was a pillar scented candle using a 3 x 6.5 mold from Peak Candles. Its cranberry scented and smells wonderful...now if I could only figure out how to post pictures, I want you to share it:DPS: My third candle is cooling off right now, I NEED A NEW MOLD!!!! so I can make more than one at a time!

katinka Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Trust me, that first candle will always be the most perfect candle you have ever made - at least thats how I feel!Keep going at it - oh, and I hope you have a bit of pocket money on the side because this is addictive and rather draining on the finances!!Enjoy, Katinka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
