radellaf Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 http://www.flickr.com/photos/radellaf/3457171519/Made from my (1st) own mold, out of Smooth-Sil 920 platinum cure silicone rubber, cast in a paper towel tube. Wax was recycled from a burned out 3x4" christmas pillar. Original was a 3/4" x 5 1/2" CKG lag bolt from Lowe's hardware. Have not tried to see if the nuts will screw on. Wick 4/0# SB, primed. Haven't tried burning one yet, but have made several more, this time using a wick pin.You have to unscrew the wax bolt from the mold when you're done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judette Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 It is a neat looking candle. What is the diameter? Just can't imagine how it would burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardLOZ Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Now that is definitely an awesome and very interesting candle. Will be interested to see just how it burns.I see that you made your own mold. Just wondering as you said you made it from a paper towel tube. I assume the tube was cardboard? How did the silicone release and did you also make the nut in the same fashion?CheersRichard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockmonkey Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Very unique. I like the name too. Some guy actually love candles and this would be perfect for any guy that thinks he's too macho for a pretty candle jar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
