Dcroome, your candles are great!

Man, I want my house to look that clean!!! :-)

Me too!!

The candle looks great. The color is very vivid.

Here's a few thoughts on relief holes: (1) use something fat to poke your holes, say the fatness of a bic pen or a tad smaller. Fat holes are easier to fill than skinny holes made by something such as thin skewers. (2) with paraffin wax, I typically poke at least 4 relief holes. (3) with palm wax, I poke a lot of relief holes. When I make a palm piller, & it turns out poorly, for whatever reason, I remelt it in my presto, laying on its side rather than top or bottom. During the melt process, I remove the candle several times to check for holes. Sure enough, I often find caverns between relief holes, esp if I only poke 4 holes. This seems to be less of an issue when I poke a lot of holes (8 holes or more, depending on mold size).

I use a chopsticks.

If it does not burn long enough it will tunnel.

Those are beautiful...I bet they spell edible!

Thanks for sharing that, I have never done CP and your looks so smooth. When do we get to see the pics cut?

I tried some of the bday candles a while back. Saw them at the grocery store. Not sure if that are the same or not, but the ones we got had a major chemical odor when they burned and were very messy after wards. There was a liquid inside that makes them burn with colored flames but if you aren't really careful the liquid makes a mess. But they were neat

I have never experienced it first hand, but I have been told that the are really stinky.

Those look great!

What a great idea!
