johnpalmerWow... have I been untalkative here.
Good news: I got some new candle molds in time for holiday gift giving. Bad news: how the *heck* am I going to thread a wick through these two?
I opened up the box from CandleWic, and looked inside to see a six-pointed star candle mold (I thought I'd bought a *5* pointed one, but, oh well) and two... uh... well...
Two large, thick, unpointed... well, see, I think they're made of silicone. And they're molds for tapers. You know, long candles that people could jokingly call phallic-shaped?
Dirty-minded humor aside, there's a tiny, wick-sized hole in the base. I guess I'll hit a fabric shop and try to find a *really* long needle with enough of an eye to thread a wick through the base of these molds.
(Oh, great. And I'm just imagining going up to the saleswoman. "Let me show you why I need this really long needle." Do I have any Seattle friends who can stand bail for me, just in case, and whose senses of humor do *not* extend towards getting a friend listed as a sex offender?)
The star mold, that won't be a big deal; it's a clear plastic that's kin to lexan, I think. (It's listed as being polycarbonate, and IIRC, lexan is a polycarbonate.) But, the others, well... I just won't borrow trouble until I find out if I can find long enough needles.
