KJohnson Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Is it possible to make citronella Pillar candles? And does anyone know who has a great FO for this?ThanksKris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janette Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I don't see any reason you couldn't. Peak's citronella seems to have good reviews. I'm not sure that an FO will have any repellant qualities though. Janette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojo T. Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I'm about to make some using Citronella Essential Oil - will that work better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grammafransfixins Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I use an essential oil and make large container candles for my deck and they work nicely Boy does that clear your sinus's when your pouring them too... LOLI don't see why a pillar wouldn't do just the same?? Give it a whirl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJohnson Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 I guess the only reason I ask about making them as pillars instead of in containers..is...I know in the hot summer heat on my deck sometimes the citronella bukets I buy...the wax in them melts....and makes a mess.I know that candlewic or someone makes special wicks for these....does anyone know who? I looked at candlewic but I didnt find anything.Any help would be GREAT!ThanksKris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grammafransfixins Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hmmm..I have never seen the special wick..but will now be lookin for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaritamama Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 It's possible, and I do.......I make Citronella pillars using NG's Citronella FO at 6%. Pretty good fragrance, and it seems to help keep the bugs away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
