mindy5140 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I just made my 1st Electric Candle and when it's lit after a few min. it will smoke. Is that normal, is it the FO, could it possibly be the bulb is to big???Mindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlena Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 What size bulb are you using, wax & how much FO? I've not had that problem with mine ever....hmm wonder what it could be?

mindy5140 Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 The wax is IGI 1313 bought it at C&S, I used 1 oz. of FO ( I made 1lb of wax), I used a 7w White Silicone Bulb, and my mold is 3" tall x 4 1/2" wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlena Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 My bulbs are 3 watt; wonder if its too big of a bulb.....I also use 1 oz FO but I use Feather Palm Wax.....**Forgot too mention** my bulbs are flickering...~Carlena~www.carlenascreations.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindy5140 Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 Where do you get your bulbs, I'll bet the flickering ones look neat.The place I bought the mold from said that I should use a 7w bulb. I'm going to make another one tonight but make it with less FO and see what happens.Thanks for helping, maybe I need to get a 3w bulb instead.Mindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlena Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Hi Mindy,I got my flickering bulbs from www.colonialtin.com I've never used anything else - they are just beautiful with that flickering - I'm sure you would really like those better.....I honestly dont think its the FO - I think the bulb is just too powerful for that grubby - mine is pretty much the same size....if you want to try just one bulb from me; I do have them for sale on my website...(just a thought)Hope that helps ya out any :highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
