SOAPFREAK Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Not the color I wanted. I don't what I was thinking. I got it a little darker than I wanted. I decided to do the chunks so I wouldn't have to poke holes. I wish it would have been a little smoother on the sides. I went gung ho and did a huge candle. I love the big pillars. My friend BarbaraAL helped me figure out the wick size I needed. Thank you Barbara! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alajane Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Very nice! I love the colors. Pillars are also on my to-do someday list--along with about a hundred other things (including making beautiful soaps like yours!!Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzie Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Congratulations on your first pillar - very exciting. Lovely colour and fragrance. Chunks usually come out a bit rough on the sides because the overpour wax is cooling as it works its way through. If you want smoother sides next time, try heat gunning your mould for a couple of minutes after pouring or else do Donita's crackle finish after you've unmoulded your candle.

SOAPFREAK Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 I love that candle. The colors are great. Any chance of getting a hint to the wick size? I was told that 3- LX12 would work the best but I'm going to test it tomorrow night to see how it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
