Googs Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I'm having a heck of a time leveling off my candles. I've tried cookie sheets over boiling water, a non stick fry pan on medium heat, and a knife. I know the knife is not a good idea but I was trying to see if it would work. What do the esteemed members of this board suggest? I would greatly appreciate it!Thanks,Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltesta3 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 How about an iron and a cheap level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricofAZ Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I bought a meat slicer at Costco for $49.00 and used it to cut some wax. I was using it to cut sheet wax (probably should have used a hammer and a chisel) but I got to thinking that a pillar in the slicer, slow, would come out pretty flat. Probably faster than the heat type levelers.The gal that makes candles at Rustic Candles in Tucson has a leveler of some sort. I looked at the bottom of her pillars and they have a slicing pattern on them that is suggestive of a very large round rotating machine somewhat similar but bigger than the Costco meat slicer and probably with the cutting on the flat surface rather than the edge. Reminded me of the patterns from a large flat sander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
