jakalex Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Here is a Starburst Wax 3"X6" Palm Pillar I made and my burn results.WAX~Starburst Palm Pillar WaxWICK~CSN 14...will probably try a CSN 12 next for those power burners! LOL!These are all 3-4 hour burns. In the later burns the shell begins to melt down. I did not break off any on the sides...this is the way it burned.

cybersix Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Very good, I was reading about those wicks but from what I see they burn as my f.b. 36 ply, so I think I can stick with mine without complicating my life again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Those burn results is why I only make Palm Wax Pillars as an Everlasting. That wax is just to brittle and to hard to wick to get a decent burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybersix Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 That's the nature of the beast.I have a customer who buys only my palm wax pillars and she's satisfied with how it burns. I think once you manage to have a wick that doesn't cause leaking and get a good melt pool you have a nice burning palm pillar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakalex Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 Those burn results is why I only make Palm Wax Pillars as an Everlasting. That wax is just to brittle and to hard to wick to get a decent burn.I thought the burn was excellent for a palm pillar and especially for my first try! At first I thought it was going to tunnel all the way down but it caught up so I do not see a problem with the way it burned.In my opinion with the CSN wicks they will not be difficult to wick. As stated before I will probably go down to a CSN 12 so that I can burn it for 4- 5 hours without a blowout.I agree with Cybersix it is the nature of the wax and some people really like it. I was very impressed with the scent throw and the burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystical_angel1219 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Palm wax is very difficult to nail down to a perfect burn.I love the texture and beauty of Palm pillars, but the burn is tricky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacien Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Looks good Lisa! I haven't tried my starburst wax yet. But you inspire me girl. I am assuming you have to underwick with a little more hang up by the way that particular wax burns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the CSN 12 will do great and I will be able to burn it longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mexitan Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Thanks for sharing the info with us. I think that's not a bad burn either. I placed an order yesterday with CS for their wax (shipping was cheaper to KS than it was from TX to KS, go figure that!) and their new wicks. Can't wait to try them.Great job, and thanks again for sharing your results. Helps us all learn!Sandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
