Equipment Tips for Pillar Candles As we discussed in Pillar Candles Introduction, this type of candle is made using a mold. And a key part in successfully molding a candle is to spray a mold release on the inside of your mould prior to pouring the melted wax. You can either buy the mold release from your local craft store or use regular kitchen vegetable oil spray which works just as well.

 

 

 

 

Once your melting wax has reached your desired temperature please remember to pour the wax slowly into the mold, being careful not to hit the wick pin assembly.

Don’t forget to tap the side of the mold gently to remove air bubbles. Make sure to save a bit of wax for the re-pour (unless you're going to use a heat gun to top it off).

Pillar Candles are very popular nowadays and you can often see them used in home-makover TV shows, where they are used to great effect to give a room ambiance and warmth.
