Lynn Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Okay, I need to pick some chandler brains....two questions for ya'll....I really love the rustic look for pillars but can't quite seem to duplicate the look, even after reading the instructions on the "Techniques & Ideas" page on this website. Any suggestions for creating the rustic look with soy pillars? Secondly, what to do with the scraps? After pouring, I pour the excess wax onto a cookie sheet. Once cooled, I scrape the cooled wax and put it into labeled ziplock baggies. I guess I'm just thrifty or odd because I can't quite bring myself to throw the wax away. Any creative suggestions on what to do with the leftovers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I would leave it in the cookie sheet and cut them into squares before the wax sets completely and use them for chunks or pour it in tart molds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accents Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 You're not going to get a rustic candle using soy wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamsoycandles Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Pillar wax can sometimes make good tarts. Pour the excess into tart molds or small cups. Enjoy the remains in your tart warmers Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
