Candlelovr Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Does anyone use this wax anymore? I never see anyone mention it and I dont see pics in the gallery using this wax. I have 15lbs of this stuff, I've only poured a couple votives with it. Just wondering.Trying to see if I can get some Astorlite F users to come out of the closet! LOLThanks!

Candlelovr Posted September 18, 2005 Author Share Posted September 18, 2005 Awesome! Didnt know if this wax had gone out of style and Im the only one that uses it!! Heh!Do you prefer to use CD or LX wicks with this wax? I got some CD's and have some LX's on the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Another Astorlilte F fan, love the look of the candle. Use Eco 12 wicks for 3 inch pillars. Tried Eco 14's, but will burn through after about 3 hours, or less. LX 28's are way too hot, will try 22's. I shoot the pillar out of the mold with an air gun and compressor set to 80PSI on one piece, concave, pillar molds, and it takes about 1 second. Sure beats trying to pull them out by hand , have pulled too many wicks out of the candle. If having problems, E mail me for details.

I had a pretty bad accident about a month ago using this to get my candles out of the molds. The mold came away from the candle and smashed me in the mouth. I am wearing braces on my teeth at this time, and I am thankful I am. My dentist said I would not have front teeth if I wasn't wearing braces. Just a word of warning. I now use 5% veg stearic in my wax and they just come straight out with ease, no more scary air compressor :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carriegsxr6 Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 I notice if I just pour hotter, then this allows it to shrink more and they just slide right out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryk Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Another recycled post of mine - testing the "F" or "Palm 3". My favorite is the crystallizing one though.http://www.candletech.com/cgi-local/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=veggiewax;action=display;num=1109546860;start=I use an LX 24 or 26, but I really just do them for decorative pillars now. I just like how paraffin or BW burns in pillars better - just a preference. Can't beat the looks of the palms though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
