I've been asked by our Pastor to cast a 3" x 22" "Christ Candle". I haven't
been able to find a candle mold this big. I have a few feet of new 3" PVC pipe that I can make into a mold, but the inside is rippled from the extrusion process. Any suggestions as to the best way to make the inside of this true and smooth so that the candle can be extracted after molding? I''ve thought of running a cylinder hone down it, but this will probably not do exactly what I want, and will leave a grooved surface. I've thought of buying a piece of 3" copper drain pipe, but this will be expensive and may be unobtainable in a two-foot lenght. I don't have slip rollers, so I can't see how I could roll a mold. Any other suggestions? Thanks for any help or advice you can offer. -- Bob (Chief Pilot, White Knuckle Airways) I don't have to like Bush and Cheney (Or Kerry, for that matter) to love America |
