The pillars I used, burndown themiddlewith themajority of thesides remaining.Quite honestly, I haven'ttried multiple brands of pillar candles.That's why, the battery candles for thisproject are such a good choice...we allknow that they won't burn down at all.Youbringupaverygoodpoint!Testingthebrand of pillar that is chosen to see howthey burn would definitely be a factor...Iknow my candles just burn down themiddle.This iswhyyouare thebest,MissMustardSeed!!!!Thankyouverymuchforyourinput!Stilllearning,KarenReply
