suzanneg Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Okay! Here it is!!!!!!!!!! I used CS Starburst Palm wax, wick-CSN11, Mold -Metal 3 x 3, Fragrance is Black Cherry, Coloring - suppose to be a darker blackish/reddish color but it turned out too light! LOLNow I HAD to light it to test burn it, so this is the start of the test burn! nice looking melt pool so far!!!!! at least it is nice and round and not warpy!!!!! I will send other pics when the melt pool reaches another hour mark! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grama Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Very pretty and that is the same wick I use and works most of the time in my pillars that size. You will probably need to burn it for about 3-4 hours to really get a good idea of how that size wick will work. Mine makes a real pretty shell. Of course once I light one it burns forever. I am a power burner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Suzanne, that's a pretty pillar! Don't fret too much about the color - getting the "feel" of coloring palm wax takes time because the crystals make the candle appear lighter. With an 11, you should get a nice shell. Be sure to turn it every so often... How do YOU like it? Does it smell wonderful yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebrownbug Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Nice pillar Suzanne.....Actually the color of your pillar shows off the starburst pattern very well.....now I want to try some of their starburst wax.I've been using their frosted palm wax in containers and still testing away with that.I also made a black cherry container using CS's burgundy liquid dye. It seems to have worked very well....now if I can just find the magic wick for my containers I will be a very happy person.Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grama Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Mike - don't know what size container you are using but in my apoth jars I double wick. The 10 oz usually burns good with 2 csn 11's. If real strong fo I go up to 12. hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorrie Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Great job!! I love palm pillars they are absolutely beautiful when burning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I think the color is very nice. I am interested in how it looks after several hours of burning. I have such a hard time with palm wax. Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleHippie Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Very nice! Palm can be a bugger to get the color just right. You'll get it with more play time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
