Not too long ago I was browsing the web site of my local supplier.
I haven't done this for a while since I have my usual things to get there and
it usually doesn't take much time or effort....
I just know what I want.
But on this day I was happy to see that more wax options
have been added. All of a sudden I was thinking about the possibilities.
So many.
I asked my supplier if I could try a sample and they were more than willing
to give me a five pound sample.
I got myself a mold to make pillar candles and began to play.
So far I have made two pillar candles.
One is orange and in Tuscan Melon and Apricot scent.
The other is blue and in the blueberry muffin scent.
In the orange candle I used the wicking they included with the kit.
It failed.
The side of the candle blew out and wax ran out.
Not unusual for pillars but not what I want to sell.
I used one of my own wicks in the blue and
so far so good.
The results are still unknown.
It could be user error as I let that first candle
burn for many hours at a time.
I think in general the rules for burning pillars
are different....
but until I am sure I will not sell any.
Next up....votives.
Can't wait to try these with the palm wax.
Soy wax is just too soft to make these well.
Perhaps a blend is upcoming?
The options are endless.
What would you like to see?
Wood wicks?
Tapers?
