    @FlOpPiNgGoLdFiSh We use industrial hot plates in our lab that are great but expensive. If you don’t want to invest in one a double boiler is less expensive and still very safe. We use the double boiler method in our new video: Simple Paraffin Container Candles.

    @carsten4mary Unfortunately we do not ship to the UAE. You might want to try searching for a local supplier.

    @ericpresley119 We offer the pouring pitcher for $9.99 on our website. Click the link in the video description and browse to the equipment section.

    @oldfryrice We used a hot plate in this video, but we switched to a double boiler in our new video: Simple Paraffin Container Candles

    Tha’s my idea to save money! I bough a candle making kit because i am a beginner and love candles very much,but they are too expensive,so i am hoping to save some money by learning how to make my own. So here I am looking for some good videos on candle making.

    Where can I get the pot that you melt the wax in? At my local craft stores they are close to $50

    Hi..I am residing in UAE and I love candle making as a hobby or for business in the future. I tried to find a supplier of materials for candlemaking here but unfortunately didn’t find any. How can you help me, thank you very much.

    When I let the candle cool overnight does it help if I freeze the candle?

    Where did you buy that hot plate that you heated the wax on? or where can you buy anyone any stores?

  16. candlescience   |  Monday, 29 March 2010 at 6:25 pm

    These are container candles – not to be removed once poured.

  17. MrQAFLOVER   |  Monday, 29 March 2010 at 7:17 pm

    u didnt show how to take the freakin candle out of the container once it dries out…mine gets cracks in it :-( ””

    Your wicks may not be large enough 4 the container u r using (thats why u have a well)..always save a lil bit of wax after pouring, sometimes 2nd pours are necessary. Just pour along the top & you should have a nice surface. Or a hairdryer on a low setting can flatten it out 4 aesthetics. Hope this helps

    Can you tell me why my soy candles are sinking when I burn them instead of burning straight across? Also, they have a bumpy texture on top they are not smooth like I’ve seen before??? I am using 100% SOY WAX

    This is exactly what I want to do-start my own business. But, I have nervous for some reason. I have potential customers at my daughter’s school already-without product. Where and how do I begin?
