Candle question - here's what I did

[Guest guest]

Thanks everyone, I knew you could help!

 

I was making the votive out of 1/3 bayberry, 2/3 beeswax blend. The

wax combo is plenty hard.

 

Here's what I have done. I had some square braid for beeswax votives

that was pre-waxed. It's from gen-wax, #3 if that means anything -

but it's bigger that the other pre-tabbed wicks. I cut to the length,

then pulled old wick out of tab, made the hole in the tab bigger, then

threaded new wick through and crimped. I've poured ONE, as opposed to

10, and will test it in a bit. Test test test - my new candle motto.

 

Will let you know how it turns out, maybe even post a picture.

 

Thanks,

Bayberry/beeswax combo? Is it fragrance or?

I bet it DOES... I got lots of bees too.... haven't tried the bay for the

very reason you mentioned... makes sense! ;-)

Cause bayberry is $$$$, and i have lots o' beeswax and together they

smell really yummy.... Plus, as Janet pointed out to me, bayberry is

too soft for much other than tapers - but it's so far working well

blended with the b-wax in other shapes. An added bonus is the pretty

green color - and did I mention it smells divine?
