ladysj Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I think I remember seeing people posting or seeing somewhere where people put their pillar wick pins inside of the pillar. Am I right on this or did I just imagine it? I put my wick pins in my pillar molds from the outside. Am I doing this wrong or is it a matter of preference? Are their any better benefits between the 2? Sorry for all the ?????'s but I just happened to think about this as I was getting ready to pour more pillars this weekend.

topofmurrayhill Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Some people put them inside but most use them on the outside so the top of the candle comes out nicely molded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 the only time i put the pin inside, is if i am doing chunks and want the chunks sticking out of the top... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlessjade Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 oops... I put mine on the inside when I made my pillar... that would explain a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcc Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I put mine on the outside using the same silicone I use for attaching my wicks to my jars...works wonderfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 We usually use them on the outside if the mold has a hole. If not, we put them on the inside. Because of the shape of the wick pin, the tops have a nice, concave top regardless of whether the pin is on the inside or outside. The thing I like most about placing them inside the mold is that if a candle is stubborn about releasing from the mold, the wick pin provides something to grab and pull.
