Sharon in KY Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 That sounds very complicated. I can understand the layering and heat gun. But the sideways tilt looks impossible without the colors getting mixed. I'm going to retire from wholesale candle making soon so maybe I can play around with the 50 lbs of Glow wax I've had for-ever... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Sharon, one tilts the container, just as with pillar candles made like this. I secure mine in the bottom of a bucket with moist sand in the bottom. Other people have wonderful *rigs & jigs* to do this. You pour a layer, let it set up until it's solid enough to support the following one, etc.I have been working in my garage for these. So I have to use the heat gun on every layer to make it crystalize. Once you put the wax in, it frosts up the side, but no crystalsBless your heart!! It's hard to keep everything balanced when doing palm layers for the crystals to come out perfectly each time. You did a GREAT job!! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 That looks really cool. I have never thought about doing that. I think it might be fun! Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scifichik Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 That is gorgeous! Birds of Paradise is one of my favorite fragrances, too. With your candle, it would be the best of both worlds---something to delight the eye and nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
