diamondk Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Here is one of the pillar I made from Peak's new pre-blended pillar wax. It just came out of the mold. It is nice and shiney and I don't have a wick in it yet. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eugenia Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Tucker, Karol used a wick pin, so there is a hole for the wick. Any primed wick will slide right in. One advantage to this method is that if the wick is not doing well, you can replace it.Karol, looks very nice!elOOKS VERY NICE. question.... hOW DO YOU GET A WICK IN THERE NOW????

mistress-of-light Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Tucker there are no dumb questions. We all have to start somewhere. I love wick pins myself. I think they make the pillar process so much easier. Nice pillar by the way. I too like the color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shannon WY Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Very nice! It looks so smooth and shiny. The color reminds me of a beeswax pillar:smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolas Lights Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Great candle. Love the color too. Good job......I've never tried drilling the candle to put the wick in, and probably won't, I'm not too good with power tools, hubby almost wouldn't let me use the heat gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job......I've never tried drilling the candle to put the wick in, and probably won't, I'm not too good with power tools, hubby almost wouldn't let me use the heat gun It is not done with power tools. I attach a handle to a drill bit and drill it by hand. If you use a power drill, you will most likely split the candle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Very nice candle. Very interested in knowing how all of these waxes burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freezin Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Sure is a nice creamy looking pillar. I am wondering about playing with additives and such to get mottles and rustics too. DK are you going to mess around with that? We are all living vicariously through you....LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondk Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 I am hoping to post a pic of my mottle candle that I did with the straight paraffin sometime today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
