I finally tried making candles for the first time. I actually winged it because it had been awhile since I read up on things. Candles came out fine considering. My problem wis the double boiler.

Hi, I am kind of busy so I can't really go into details. Wish I had more time. If you are serious about dipping Bees Wax candles I can give you a link that will most likely save you quite abit of money. Most places want to sell bees wax at over $10.00 a pound.

Thanks for information. I am curious though....My mold is very narrow. 7/8 th of an inch wide and tapers. Any ideas on getting it in there. Thought I'd ask ! I Should have said something earlier. Thanks again for information...

What is best ? Synthetic or Vegtable Oil ? How about Cooking Spray ? Would it work? Thought about using vegtable oil or spray in my molds for bees wax candles. Bees Wax is already sticky enough on it's own and hard to get out of the mold. Don't want to spend alot of time especially with stuck...

Read recently that a company Hand Rolled their Molded Candles after they came out of the molds. Any particular reason for doing this. Is there an advantage to it ? Are they rolling on any particular surface ?

Appreciate the Information.............Thanks !!

Anyone out there know where I can find this stuff. I know it is rare and protected but it still for sale some where. Strahl & Pitsch want $25.00 a Kilo ! That is about $ 12.50 a U.S. Pound. Problem is they only sell in large quantity. 40 kilos. I only want a few pounds.

170-180 Degrees sounds pretty good for Pariffin Wax. Thought maybe warm would be low enough for Bees Wax but I guess not. 170 is to high for B.Wax. Oh well. Thanks For Information !

Thank you for the info on containers ! These Presto pots..........How muck wax can you actually melt. Is it 7, like they say. Also they say about twenty minutes to melt ?

Thanks ! I will have to check out some things. Have never created a PDF File. Supposedly MS Works has something to create this type of file. I am still in the dark ages for running system.... ME.... haven't upgraded so am limited in what I can do.

How about labels in general ? Do you buy the label and print them yourself or do you have them also printed for you. This is the one thing I have not done any reaserch into. Would appreciate more into it ! Thanks !!

I'd say Thanks for the E-Bay link. If I don't have to make it myself...Cool !! What about Containers? What are you all using ?
