Sharon44 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Ok, so I was just poking around on a big suppliers website. They have all kinds of candlemaking instructions. I was reading about making palm pillars and NO WHERE did it say anything about how to eliminate voids in the candles. I was surprised by this. I'm assuming that palm wax candles form voids as they cool. Am I wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hard crust is notorious for leaving voids below causing flame flare ups that can get pretty high. There is a post about this maybe about 3 months old where we talked about various methods of relief in pillars and containers made of palm.
