Candle Pour
Tips
Candle pouring is a fun and creative way to make candles. It is also a great way to use up small amounts of wax. The following tips will help you make the perfect candle every time.
The most important factor in making a successful candle is the temperature of the wax. The wax should be hot enough to pour, but not so hot that it will cause the wick to flame. To achieve the correct temperature, use a double boiler.
The type of wax you use is also important. Some waxes are better for beginners because they are less likely to cause problems such as air bubbles. Paraffin wax is a good choice for beginners.
Before you pour the wax, test the wick to make sure it is the correct size and shape. The wick should be about 1 inch longer than the candle is high.
When you are ready to pour the wax, hold the wick in the center of the container and pour the wax around it. Be careful not to get the wick wet.
If you get any air bubbles in the wax, use a needle to pop them.
When the wax is cool, trim the wick to 1/4 inch.
