    First time candle making-need tutorials!

    You can make tarts with any wax, tarts should be made with a pillar or tart blend... a specially blended wax which does not stick to the sides of the mold... so you can get them out of the molds. I use soy wax and love my results.

    Is this normal?

    It looks like lizard or alien skin... lol I like it too. I believe it is water, it doesn't feel oily, and as it sat exposed to air, it seems to have evaporated the surface of the soap is still a bit pitted where the liquid was sitting. (I didn't expect the soap fairy to magically smooth the...

    Is this normal?

    It was in the oven the oven wasn't on or warm, I put it in there so the cats and kids don't get into it. :) It only did this inside the mold, the top looks perfect.

    Is this normal?

    My soap looks like lizard skin and is wet! I used aloe in the water mix but added the aloe to the oils instead of the lye water because I didn't want it to scorch or discolor.

    Does this drive you nuts?

    It took me a year of experimenting and perfecting to develop my candles before I was comfortable selling them to strangers.

    Does this drive you nuts?

    I had a woman come up to my booth at a market and asked a ton of questions about how I make my candles. 1 month later she showed up at the same market selling candles and set right next to me! Lol I totally get what you are saying.

    Cleaning Wax tools in my sink?!

    I wipe my equipment down with paper towels and use mold cleaner also. Stearic acid is used to increase hardness and help with scent throw. Your candles will be fine without it.

    vanilla f.o in candles color change?

    It depends on the fragrance. I have French vanilla and regular vanilla, the French comes out a light tan, the vanilla comes out a cream color. I've never heard of a vanilla stabilizer.

    My first HP!!!

    I made this batch on the stove. I began by goofing up the amount of lye I was dissolving. Thankfully I had soapcalc on my laptop and increased my batch size from 3 lbs to 3 1\2 lbs. Then measured out the additional oils and added them to the pot to melt down. I added my lye water and used my...
