ScentsandMore Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I have seen pictures of 3 different heights of candles that look really nice as a set.. I am getting ready to order some 4045H and molds. For those of you who make a trio set of candles in different sizes, would you mind sharing what size of molds you use? I noticed on Candle Wic's site that they have a 3 x 4.5, 3 x 6.5 and 3 x 9.5 molds. Do you think these sizes would make a good set? This will be my first time making any type of pillar and testing. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7Angela7 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 That's around what many people use. I think those sizes would be perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I use 3x3, 3x4 & 3x6 in both my square and octagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goosebay_1999 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 That's my most popular size when selling a trio of candles. A very good investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 We use 3x3.5, 3x6.5 and 3x9.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I'm sure you'll get a mixed response. My set includes 3x3, 3x4 and 3x6. I have 3x9, but don't sell many of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc26 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 If you are asking because you want to buy molds I say get a bunch of 3x9 molds. That way you are not limited to what you can do. I have several 3x9 molds. I like it because I can do pairs of candles at once or even trios, or whatever. I can also do the sets with different hieghts. I just measure and pour. You don't HAVE to fill your mold all the way to the top, you know! Yes, in sets the common sizes for me are 3x3 or 3x4, 3x6, and 3x9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Those 3 are great sizes. Personally I don't recommend trying to make very short pillars in tall molds. They can be very difficult to get out and mar up the surface. At least that was my experience. I just ordered more 3x6 and a 3x3 because of it.
