tlc Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Well I'm no expert by a long shot but it looks pretty good to me. There may be someone that can chime in to critique it for you. What wax did you use and did you fo it?Yep, you are hooked now and there isn't a cure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Looks pretty good. I'm guessing there was a seam line around the middle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StickyWick Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 Well I'm no expert by a long shot but it looks pretty good to me. There may be someone that can chime in to critique it for you. What wax did you use and did you fo it?Yep, you are hooked now and there isn't a cure I am using straight store bought parrafin. I am coloring with wax dye. No other additives or anything. I use a waterbath and the refrigerator to get it out of the mold. No polishing, no sprays. Just straight out of the mold, well, expect for a little trimming around the seam line. Still working on that part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sally Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Ladies you have made it very difficult for me to compliment stickywick on his nice balls & keep a straight face!The very first candle I ever tried to make was a ball & I haven't done one since (15 years) however it was already too late I was hooked.Congratulations stickywick that's a nice looking ball you've got there.Sally.

StickyWick Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 I had no idea that my balls could cause such a stir.I am in the process of making a 3 X 3 square. If it turns out, I'll post a pic. If not, there will be a question in the General section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
