I'm with you Kelly. Stick that baby on and twirl!

Works for me!

Are you using container wax? Not too many candles will scent the 'whole house', but container wax seems to have a better throw than pillar.

I also think it may have something to do with the wick. Have you tryed a smaller one?

HTH

WOW - Those are impressive!

I've gotten some really nice tins but they also have seams. I would definately put something on the seams. Someone suggested decoupoge/modpodge and that's what I've done.

I apply the decoupoge to all the seams, let it dry and then pour over it.

I have burnt candles in these tins without applying anything and low-n-behold, they leaked.

HTH:smiley2:

Very creative!

Just a thought..you can also use clothspins or the metal clips (thick paper clips)

Your mold should come with some clamps as well.

HTH

Your table looks great! Sorry you didn't do as well as you wanted. I just love those flag hurricanes in the middle. Good placement!

Nice Job! Reminds me of candy....

What happens if you warm the dye a bit? I've had some get a little thick, but if it sits on my oven surface for a few minutes, it seems to help.

That was my thought. Just warm it, should work! HTH

Woo - looks great and OH MY GOSH....what alot of work! You musta been working your butt off! That's a great selection!

Again...congratuations!

Thanks - Fern - that name rings a bell. I believe that's what I'm looking for.

Thank you both!

Does anyone remember where you could get about 300 bags for about $25.00? I seem to remember something like this last year but can't remember the company. I thank you in advance for your help!

I only clean them if I have a tough time getting the votive out. Then I put them in the oven on a cookie sheet covered with paper towels. I turn the oven to 150, put them in the oven, turn the oven off and let them sit in there for about 15 minutes. Pull them out, wipe em clean and wah - lah! clean votives! HTH

Yeah - I went to the web-site and they sure look like the baked aroma beads.

As long as you are using the same scent, I don't see why you couldn't use them over (for personal use)

HTH:smiley2:

How cute! I'm with Sharyl...maybe a couple stitches to secure it.

He's definately a cutie!:smiley2:

Pourette may have some. There is a silicon mold company, I think it's Fleximold. I tried to find their website but was unsuccessful.

Pourette.com has a hound dog and bull dog. The only thing is they are 2 piece. But they may be easier to work with then the ones you are currently using.

HTH and welcome to the board!:smiley2:

Very nice! I'm liken the one on the right! (but they both are great!):smiley2:

I sure like that look!

Wonder if that scent would be good in Air Fresheners?

Love the candles, Robin! Great job!

Looks good for a first! However, you could probably axe the vybar103 (known to kill mottling) and the UA (don't believe that helps mottling much either, at least I never had success with it and that wax lol). Adding, on your next mottle attempt, up the FO a bit if you can. 1 oz pp isn't always enough

Yeah, if you WANT mottle, don't use vybar. I like the color combo and am impressed with the 'lack of' bleeding.

Sharyl - you should be proud of yourself for this attempt! I can't imagine doning something like that for my 1st attempt! Nice job:highfive:

Those are wonderful marble candles there! Good job!!!:highfive:

That is sooo Cool! Steve - I just love that! You definately are thinking outside of the box!:highfive:

Lotta help you clowns are! :laugh2:

I'm wondering, maybe I should aim for a wick that would be comparable with a 4" pillar? Though the ball is 5", that is only at the widest point....

What a pain this big ball is

I think you are on the right track. Especially since it's only 5" in the middle.

But I do have to say, this thread made me laugh! A bunch of clowns:p
