Just finished and delivered holiday votive candle bases to a local candle shop for Christmas sales.
Made using premium MDF. Painted with Enamel colors. I'll probably switch to a lacquer finish for the next run.
Enamel takes too long to cure. I wasn't really pleased with the look of the finish even though the candle shop was happy.
They sold several pieces the day after delivery.
Originally tried using MDF LIGHT but it was extremely labor intensive to get the edges sealed to stop the finish from soaking in even after repeated applications of a sealer.
There are several other holiday designs I'm working with. I'll post them after I finish the prototyping.
