ValhallaGal Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I tried doing a search for this but it keep yielding a black page. Sorry if this has been covered already. And sorry if it is a dumb question I was asked to do a wickless candle for our community Yule Dinner. We are not allowed an open flame at the banquet hall so they want to use a candle warmer and want me to make a wickless. I've never done this. Is it just a matter of pouring your normally FO loaded wax into a normal candle jar? Just like I would pour a candle but without the wick? Is it really that simple? Am I trying to make it complicated?Thanks,Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonC Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Yes, it is that simple:smiley2: If you are going to be there for the event, you can use a regular wicked candle as well, just make sure nobody lights it:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValhallaGal Posted December 14, 2007 Author Share Posted December 14, 2007 Thanks Don As usual, I was trying to over complicate things. So, I will have fun pouring scented wax in the morning I even get to pick the FO. It's rare that I get to do that. I'm usually filling an order and pouring what someone else wants, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vio Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Be sure to put a note for people seated not to lift and tilt the jar if it's full melted and bigger. If it's soy and clear looking while melted, it could like like a gel candle to someone. People who don't know wickless candles could lift it thinking it's something else. Sorry to say this, but I don't know why I just had to. LOL I just picture like my grandmother or something picking it up and tilting it to sniff it God forbid and it spilling hot oil all over her. I've seen people do stuff like this. Very smart people too. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Actually, most times an unscented candle is used during dinner so the scent doesn't interfere with the food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vio Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Well if that's the case, might as well not even turn the hot thingie under the jar on. I don't think anyone will notice an unscented wickless jar burning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logcabinmomma Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Just so you know, you can use pliers to pull the wick out from the wicktab and viola- wickless candle... that's what people do who don't want to wait for me to make one, but have to show that they aren't burning it (college dorms, work, etc).-Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Well if that's the case, might as well not even turn the hot thingie under the jar on. I don't think anyone will notice an unscented wickless jar burning. Hehe, I was thinking the same thing. That would be like making unscented tarts... hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimmeroo Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I read somewhere that vanilla doesen't interfere with food!HTH! Kimmeroo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValhallaGal Posted December 15, 2007 Author Share Posted December 15, 2007 Well, I'm going to bring several scents and just let them decide what they want. They wanted something "christmas/yuley", lol.So I poured a few that are kind of in the foody/cinnamony/spicey category. I think these will be ok with dinner. However, I would think that anything along the floral, musk, or ozone line would make me hurl my dinner if it were wafting through the air, LOL.you can use pliers to pull the wick out from the wicktab and viola- wickless candle... Yes, I actually have quite a few famer's market customers that do this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
