Guest Candelishis Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 It's a candle without a wick... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin146 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 You make them the same way you make a regular candle. Except no wick. I also use 8oz tins or 11oz tureens for mine Regina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForHisGlory Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 It's a candle without a wick...:laugh2:Sorry, Tasha. It's just the way she said it!!!:laugh2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasha Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 I understand it's a candle without a wick:) . Do you use more fragrance oil?, or is the process the same as making a candle with a wick. I'm thinking that since you are not burning it and the wax doesn't go away it would be a slightly different process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForHisGlory Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Tasha,Just wanted to reiterate that I wasn't making fun of your questions.

Jane42 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 We make our wickless the same way we make our wicked. The wax can only hold so much FO, so if you are at your "max" for that, do not add any more.We find using the same percentage of FO in the wickless as we do the wicked works just fine.HTHJane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's the same process, but you just don't use a wick. And I always use as much FO as my wax will hold, (keeping in mind some are just too strong to use a full load). Glad you smiled instead of crying about my comment that could have been taken as an insult Good to know you have a sense of humor!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasha Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 I'm a big girl didn't take offense to your comment at all:p. She asked me and I didn't know the answer so I posted the question for her. I'm a wick girl, like the ambiance a flame gives to a room.

Jane42 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 really? you use the max % for your wicked candles? what wax do you use?We don't always use the max...I was saying that you shouldn't add more FO than your wax can hold...even if it is a wickless.
