SoyKandles Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 After applying the decal onto a pillar candle, should I put a coating of something over the top to help secure the decal to the candle?I read in a search that someone did a over-dip of the pillar. I don't have equipment available to accomplish this. I tried to brush wax over the decal and that gave the pillar a brushed look, which maybe is OK, but not what I'm looking for right now.Maybe I don't need anything at all.?? I'm making a wedding unity candle and the church isn't air conditioned, so I'm afraid the decal will curl up on the edges in our humid weather.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks,Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went out last night and bought some modge podge. I will apply like you said - just a little over the edge. Hope it turns out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoyKandles Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 Just to let you know what I did and how it turned out . . . I painted 3 light coats of Modge Podge Gloss on the candle and it looks nice. Letting the modge podge dry for 15-20 between coats, it worked great.
