KJohnson Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 that you can not make a rustic pillar with soy pillar wax?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlesprite7 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I read somewhere that you couldnt. Maybe cause it is too soft and creamy? Not 100% sure though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Makin Momma Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 You would be correct, my dear. I have tried and tried and it just will not happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 From my experience, I would have to agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJohnson Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 Thank you everyone for your thoughts...I thought that it could not be done and didnt want to kill myself trying to make it happen.Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Bug Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Hi Kris. Have you made any pillars with the soy pillar wax? If so, how did they look? I have some, but haven't started playing with it yet. Thanks. Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGirl Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 While it's true you will probably never get a true rustic from soy... you can get some rather interesting texturing with soy pillars. I personally liked the frosting that my parasoy pillars developed.... and if you pour them really cool and really slow, you can get jump lines that go all the way up the pillar -- doesn't sound like a good thing, but I thought it was pretty neat over the whole candle. I'll see if I've got any old ones around.... I'll post a picture if I find a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chauna1 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Just a dumb idea. But could you paint the rustic look on a candle? May be worth a try just to see. I know some peeps here paint their candles. You will have to see what kind of paint to use.ChaunaP.S. Hope the idea didn't sound to stupid. Could work though. I love soy too. I am going to PM you about something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I tried soy for both votive & pillars and gave up because it is to hard & brittle and you can't get all the effects that you can with paraffin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
