Lets talk basics.... Wax

Since wax is a basic for those of us that make candles, and it has a big effect on the way the molding process works and ends up looking in the final product. I wanted to mention how very important it is to be using the correct wax and correct wax formulation. This can be differant between mold types. Silicone, 2 piece Plastic, rubber, etc. As well as the type candle you are making.

But ALL Candle Makers should have basic formula's they have developed and use time and again. It shouldnt be left up to chance. this can cause problems with the finished product.

Remember. Test, find the formula that works for you and the mold type and write it down........ and keep it handy to be used again and again!

Happy Candlemaking!
