kalamazoo Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 I wish I had made these, but I did not. These shapes are becoming popular and thin triangles and rectangle shapes are available too. Was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what type of mould could be used to make such a candle - a cake tin comes to mind, but how would you get the wick straight and stay in place while it sets up. Any thoughts, info, would be much appreciated. Quote
Aspencreek Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Those are pretty cool looking but I would have no idea where to start. I would also worry about them being to thin and burning right down the middle but that is me. Quote
Carriegsxr6 Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 I think Bruce posted one like this he made. let me find the linkedit: http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41285maybe try contacting him and ask Quote
BruceCarvesWax Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 I would also worry about them being to thin and burning right down the middle but that is me.I think thats the idea. Mine were hand made so Im sure these are not made the same. I was just playing around. Bruce Quote

BruceYah, I just didn't state that right. I meant it would burn down real quick with not a very long burn time. I am sure that they can be done right though (especially by you Bruce) Quote
cactuscandles Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 those are very cool looking i have never seen candles like that b4 i personally wouldnt burn it , hope you find the mold Quote
creativegems Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 The stand on the round one is kinda cool. Looks like a hair barrette.Janet Quote
BruceCarvesWax Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Wouldnt it be cool to have the wicks end where you want and when the flames all burn out it has left a wax shape, like 2 fingers = a piece sign.... or one finger as in you know what? Bruce Quote
Donita Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 I like this idea too.....I think I will research it and try.....try is the word to make some. I am thinking that a high melt point wax might help. Donita Quote
creativegems Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 What would be cool Bruce is a thin hand candle with wicks on the fingers you want to burn down to get the peace sign. The fingers would have to be apart from each other and have the lines so they look like fingers.Janet Quote
Stella1952 Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 :laugh2:I really like those and what a fun idea to have the wicks burn to just the right length...:whistle: Quote
Tanya Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Very cool looking candles! Would love to figure those out or someone to figure those out! Quote

candlesprite7 Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Those are cool looking....If you find a mold let us know! Quote
kalamazoo Posted January 10, 2007 Author Posted January 10, 2007 Thanks everyone for your replies. Bruce, like the idea of the "finger", could be sent to people who deserve it. Will let you know if I come up with anything. Quote
myst25872002 Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Those are great to look at but might be afraid to burn them, but I have to admit they even look cool burning Quote

BruceI guess you could 'forget' the wick on the middle finger!:lipsrseal Those are cool looking candles! Quote
BruceCarvesWax Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 They must use a tealight wick for that kind of burn. I burned mine tonight and it had a much larger flame than this one.. and not drips! Bruce Quote
