When Good Candles Turn Bad

Posted by admin on Saturday, October 17th, 2009

Every once in a while we get a batch of Palm Wax in that just doesn’t have enough Stearic in it to make it release from the mold. It is a very frustrating experience to have all of your Pillars glued into the mold like a sea urchin clinging to a rock. It’s just not gonna budge. Here’s my parody.

……

This pillar thinks it has all the power…ouch!

…..

Oh yea, take that! You gonna mess with me?

…..

Ha ha ha! (said in an evil dr. Jekyll laugh)

Run, baby run!

Really, in all seriousness, I hate when this happens. Totally such a PAIN!! Now we have to spend hours chipping and heating these things out of the molds. Dozens of them… UGH! I had to make it a little comical or I’d probably lose my mind.

I loved the photographs, but i loved the modification too that you have put up in pictures, how you did that, did you used some High end tools like Photoshop ?

That must have taken some work to get that butter knife that far down in the candle. Who are the ghostly figures?
