![How to make Pillar Candles at Home without Mould | [DIY HANDMADE FLOWER PILLAR CANDLES AT HOME]](/img/n.gif)
Thanks a lot.I have one more query....kindly make a video explaining best colour pigments and how to use for pillar and jar candles.
Can do! Both the liquid candle dyes and the candle dye blocks are great options but I'll get more info together comparing the two!
@@candlescience it will be very very helpfull and easy for me to understand.... Thanks.
Thanks for Sharing Pillars Candles making Technique. Can I use PVC Or Plastic Moulds for making Pillar Candles?
Possibly, yes! But it can depend on the type and thickness of the plastic. It should be ok if the mold is made specifically for candle making and has been tested for this use. Sometimes wax can cling to plastic a bit more than it does with metal or silicone, but plenty of plastics should hold the wax just fine!
Is it difficult to add flowers?
We generally do not recommend adding botanicals in candles as they can often catch fire but it can be especially difficult to add dried flowers to pillars as they will likely not stick to the walls of the mold as the wax is poured in. If you're going to test it out, I'd recommend not placing flowers near the wick or where the flame could potentially get to them.
Hello
How to clean the mould and can we use the same mould for different colour candles.plz reply
You can absolutely use the same mold for different colors! There shouldn't be much wax or dye left on the mold after you take the candle out but if there is it scrapes off easily and you can wipe the mold down with some rubbing alcohol on some paper towel. That usually does the trick!
you said the size and type of wick matters... what wick would i use for the All Natural Soy Candle Wax Golden Brands 464 Soy Wax?
The two main factors for determining the size and series of wick to use will be the type of wax you use and the diameter of your container or mold. The 464 soy wax is a container wax so it would not work well for pillars as it is too soft and will adhere to the sides of the mold. These molds have a 3" diameter though so the 464 in a container with a 3" diameter would call for testing with a CD 18 wick. For pillars, I'd recommend choosing a pillar wax and then checking the Wick Guide to see which wick would be best to start testing. www.candlescience.com/learning/wick-guide/
So the anchor just thrown away? Better use the spool wick then?
Spooled wicks are a great option, yes! Depending on how much of the wick is trimmed, it can also be used to make other candles. I always save longer wick trimmings for this!
Can unscented soy wax smell bad on burning? Could this be due to contamination with something else
Typically many soy waxes will have a neutral odor or no real detectable scent at all. Some can have a slightly stronger scent to them but it usually isn't bad or overpowering. If the scent is only noticeable while the candle is burning, it may be worth looking into the wick and perhaps testing a few other sizes/series first. If you're concerned about the wax being contaminated though, you can absolutely reach out to the Support team at support@candlescience.com and we'd be happy to look into it further!
@@candlescience thanks
Is it okay if the wick is pre-waxed?
Yep! Many wicks will come coated in wax but you can use unwaxed wick as well. You could even use the wax you'll be using for your candles to coat the wicks.
When should I add essence
How much wax did u use for the mold you're using
We use 15/75 oz of wax here for this mold: www.candlescience.com/molds/3x4-Round-Pillar-Mold-Concave-Top/
The mount of wax you'll need can depend on the type of wax you'll be using but this is a helpful equation to figure out how much wax you'll need for a pillar mold:

Is it an issue if the wick is shorter than the wax? I got a wick that was too short. Will this cause an issue during burning or just cause the candle to stop burning before all the wax is used?
If the wick is too short it may just extinguish as it reaches the end of the pillar. The wick tab usually help put the wick out safely. I'd recommend test burning one of the candles all the way down to see how it burns and goes out before giving any away just to be sure!
Which soy waxes are pillar waxes
All of our soy pillar waxes can be found on the Wax Guide here: www.candlescience.com/learning/wax-guide/
@@candlescience thanks. Do you sell in India
Unfortunately, we are currently only able to ship within the US and Canada.
@@candlescience ok. Thanks
hello. how do I determine the wick soze for different mold? For example, heart shape.
The Wick Guide should help! You'll want to enter the type of wax you'll be using and the diameter of your mold. It will then give you suggested wicks for testing!
Hi… may I know the melting temperature and the pouring temperature for pillar candles?
Hi! It will depend on the particular wax you'll be using as the recommendations can differ but all of the melt points and recommended pouring temps for our waxes can be found on the Wax Guide here: www.candlescience.com/learning/wax-guide/
What do you suggest for wax that is not dangerous to pets. I hear that Paraffin is one. Do you have other blends that are strong for pillar candles?
All of our products are safe and non-toxic when used as directed but we can’t really say whether one wax is more or less pet-safe than another - especially when individual pets may have their own unique allergies or sensitivities. To help you make a decision regarding which wax might be right for you though, we do list the SDS for each wax on the product pages and these can be provided to a veterinarian if you have specific questions regarding your pet. If you prefer a soy pillar wax, I'd recommend BW-921.
Hello so are these pillar molds the same as the silicone cakes molds? I came across a few that were 3'4 inches and it looks the same
You can use silicone molds with pillar wax for sure! Wicking may be a little tricky if there it no hole for the wick to go through but you could make one and seal it!
Are the pillar candles made of a particular wax? Thank you 🎉
Pillar waxes can be soy, paraffin, or a blend! You can see all of the waxes we carry and their uses on the Wax Guide here: www.candlescience.com/learning/wax-guide/
