flightoffancy Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Here are 2 of the testers I poured last night with the new palm waxes from CS. Everlasting pillar poured @ 208 into a warm mold, 1 drop of teal dye to 1 lb of starburst palm wax. [ATTACH]11191[/ATTACH]Glass Glow was poured @ 197 into a warm 16 oz apothecary jar, 4 drops of raspberry dye and scented with 1 oz pp of Fruit Slices. This one looks like it has a jump line but it was a single pour so I'm thinking that the top just cooled too quickly and didn't develop the same 'glow' effect as the rest of the candle.[ATTACH]11192[/ATTACH]I'm test burning the 16 oz container now and the throw is awesome!

grama Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Beautiful pillar and jar. Think I want to get some of the star also, got feather when I ordered. Tell me - What is your picture taking secret, or either how you edit them. Beautiful pictures also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffancy Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 Tell me - What is your picture taking secret, or either how you edit them. Beautiful pictures also.I use a briefcase light box, a black to white graduated background and 2 EiKO Supreme Photoflood bulbs in those big metal reflectors (walmart for $10 each). Then I just resize them and add a vignette border in Paint Shop Pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffancy Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 Here's the same everlasting pillar with a waterslide decal applied.[ATTACH]11197[/ATTACH]And the results of the test burn on the 16 oz apothecary using a single CSN 14 after a 4 hour burn. What's got me baffled about the uneven burn is that the CSN wicks curl like the htp's and the curl was towards the side that didn't melt down, me breathing over the jar shifted the flame and makes it look like the wick was closer to the melted side but it's not. :undecided At any rate I'm going to try it with an LX wick tomorrow and if that doesn't work I guess I'll have to double wick this jar.

stacien Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I know a lot of people that us RRD's for palm wax, what if you tried them and LX? I am assuming you would have to double wick if it has a higher melting point than soy and paraffin and a harder wax. If I were you I would start high with this wax. With soy a CSN 14 would have melted the whole one side of that jar after four hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the pattern of the wax. Look at my zig zag pillares. they are made with feathering wax and you can see somewher the pattern stops with what seems a line and then starts again. the wax does it for all the lenght of the candle.

Mexitan Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 candlescience has a csn 16 now that wasn't on their websight earlier. I think it's only on the spool though. Might try that! Your candles sure are beautiful. any problems getting them to release from the mold? I can't get mine out to save my life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Love that starburst palm. Really special with the water slide decal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjrhsk Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 They look awesome. I gotta get some of this stuff!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 flight...the pic u posted on how that candle is burning is exactly how mine started out. But they all caught up and burned evenly, good melt pool and melted the wax from the sides of the jar. But I didn't have a great HT. I used 1 oz FO to 1# wax. Gonna try 1 1/2 oz next. What did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
