chas38 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I ordered this wax accidently from "Candles&Supplies", for some reason I didn't realize it was a Palm veggie wax...which I wouldn't have ordered after dealing with soy pillar wax. However, it turns out to be fantastic. It looks good, seems to be 1 pour and has a smooth "silky" finish. It also seems to easily absorb FO (even Vanilla). After reading the boards I was expecting to have trouble with it sticking in the mold, however it actually begins pulling away from the mold and will slide right out even before the centers solidify!Scented: "Drakkar Type" from RA (Black Cube)."French Vanilla" by Peak (Yellow4" Round)"Cool Water Type" by RA (Blue Cube)Happy New Year All Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Those look great! Are they Astorlite wax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Nice texture to those. I think you could go up a wick size on that yellow one, depending on what you're using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chas38 Posted December 31, 2005 Author Share Posted December 31, 2005 Should have been more specific: The Wax is called "All Natural Crystal Pillar".Right about the wick. I originally put in the recommended "LX German Coreless" brand LX20 (4 1/2" to 5 1/2" Pillar) which I saw recommended for Veggie wax... It tunneled and drowned in no time! I replaced it with my trusty Heinz Coreless Pre-tab CD-18 (4" to 5" Pillar). In the pic the CD-18 hasn't had time yet to do it's damage to the pillar walls but it burns great. Dont have any CD-20 on hand, which is probablly what it needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smalltownscents Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Those are beautiful! I haven't got up the nerve to do pillars yet but plan on trying in the near future. I will definitely keep that wax in mind. Thanks for posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatinDucky Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Very nice accidents. I don't even like yellow in general, but that one is pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdevine Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 I use this very same wax and love it, but it isn't a 1 pour from what I've found. I thought in the beginning that it was a 1 pour and ended up tunneling when I burned it. Be sure you test those. Portia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
