Well here are my votives....it has taken me forever to post pics. But finally here are some. I did some chunk and regular ones. Test burns on them all went well. Used the basic instructions on this site!

Thanks. I just slice them w/a utility knife when the wax is cooled down but still tacky. I have foud that I really can not cut a straight line though. They are all different sizes usually. I make them in a brownie size pan.

That's pretty much the same thing I do, but someone normally distracts me so that I don't get back to the wax until it's to cold to cut, and I end up chipping the chunks off... Someday I'll have peace and quiet, and spare time. But I'm happy with what I've got.

Thanks!!!!!
Well the only reason I made them is I was shorted a votive mold in my Starter Kit from Peak...so I had left over wax and didn't know what to do w/ it. It was a fluke. But Peak was cool and sent my the missing mold when I placed my next order!

Thanks for sharing,

I used the Peak votive wax that comes in the starter kit not sure what it is called exactly. It's really easy to work with. I just put the slab in a big garbage bag and gave it few whacks w/ the hammer to break it up so I could weigh out my portions.

When I want to make really small chunks, I pour a thin layer on a cookie sheet and use a fork to cut long strips. I then take the long strips and break them up in a bag.
Just something that has worked for me and maybe now for you.

have you tried one of those pizza cutter wheel things for cutting out chunks. It works really well for me.

Pizza cutter! What a great idea! I use mine for everything I don't know why I didn't think of it for chunks!
