How to make a candle?
I need information on the wax, wicks, dyes, texture and content (all) Many websites please!
Candle making is not really that difficult but you have to be cautious (making candles involves high temperatures, flammable substances and chemicals potentially bad). The beginner should start with candles container (usually in cans or glass jars) as this will give some experience working with waxes, wicks, dyes and perfumes. Note that there are many different types of waxes (container, pillar, soy, gel) and scents (not all are safe together). I would recommend that we set in some of the sites that provide links to take a lesson, or buy an introductory book / video. There are plenty of good and bad information out there, please be careful.
