DanaE Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 This is 4045H wax, with 3 tablespoons of stearic per lb of wax, 1 ounce of FO and 1/4 teaspoon of UV per lb. Here are a few I made yesterday. Just got the pyramid molds and I'm having a ball with them!I'm going to put the pics in several posts so they'll show up and you won't have to click on a link....DanaE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jokerjen Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Very Nice~I would like to get some of those pyramid molds and the 3 wicker, among a million other things!lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shala Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Beautiful pillars! Your colors are just perfect for the scent and its one of my favorite scents for this time of year.Edited to ask: How much wax does the three wicker hold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanaE Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 If you fill it to the top it'll hold around 6 lbs or so. I usually make these 4 lbs. I've found that filling the mold to the top just makes the candle look weird....hard to explain. The line I stop at is perfect for me so I do it to that point every time.DanaE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topofmurrayhill Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Heh, how many Prestos did you have going yesterday?Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanaE Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 LOL! I have one large wax melter and one presto pot. When I'm pouring the layers cool I can just about empty the presto then refill it with small pieces of wax and have the wax melted and ready to go when it's time for the next layer. (love my hammer - I beat that wax to death, into little pieces so they melt faster). So all day long I drain the presto and add more, drain and add more.The other melter holds my OK6228 and since I only did 24 votives, 3 pillars and about 25 tarts I didn't have to drain it and refill it........DanaE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodlandash Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Your pillars are just great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The pyramid pillar is awsome, I like how it is tall and thin. Could you share where you found that mold, i'vebeen looking for one like that. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanaE Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 I bought them at candlesandsupplies.com - initially they sent me the wrong size stands for the molds, so I wasn't able to use them until yesterday, when I received the right size.I love them - I like anything that isn't round. Six or seven years of doing round pillars is enough!DanaE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharyl55 Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Great looking lillars. Love the colors for Amish Harvest. You sure have been busy. What wax did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanaE Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 Sorry, should have put the wax in the first post. I'll modify it. I'm using 4045H for all the mottled and rustic pillars, and OK6228 for the light dusty rose pillar.DanaE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debscent Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Oohh Ahh (sorry don't know how to type that sound). I love those. I only do solid pillars and chunkies--you have given me inspiration (after the fall/winter rush). Thank you for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
