cjrhsk Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hi,I made some tarts with this wax and really like them. I would like to make a pillar with it. I have only made one candle so far. It's a container, and I haven't been successful wicking it yet. Has anyone made a pillar using this wax? What size should I start with and what wick? I appreciate all your help.Janet:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakalex Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 If I read your post correctly you tried to use Ecosoya PB for a container? I do not think you can use that wax for containers.I have been testing this wax in pillars for a few weeks and so far I have figured out that a 3X3 or 3X6 pillar needs an LX26. I use the spooled wick not the pre-tabbed.I burn for 5 hours on the first burn and 3-4 hours every burn after and did not have a blowout. I used 7% fragrance load.Hope this helps.

cjrhsk Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hi Jakalex,Thanks for your post. I'm sorry I didn't make myself clear. No, I used ecosoya 135 for the container. I only meant that was the only candle I have ever attempted. Now I want to attempt a pillar with the ecosoya pb. Your info on the ones you are making is just what I was looking for.Thanks for the help.Janet:cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post a thread with all the pics once I resize the pics.This is after a 3 hour burn. Getting the wick centered helps tremendously, but I didn't want to fudge the test, so I resisted the urge to push the wick toward center as the pool melted.[ATTACH]10514[/ATTACH]Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
