Title: Making candles Post by: charleyrogue on November 29, 2008, 06:24:43 PM Someone has probably answered this somewhere else. If they have I apologise in advance!
I'd love a tutorial on how to make candles! Title: Re: Making candles Post by: Helen on November 29, 2008, 07:56:41 PM First of all, I would just like to say a big thank you to EJ for moving all the related threads to this and the other new board. Thanks EJ!!!
CR, I think Keilly said she would do something along the lines of a tutorial - she's at Sandrigham all weekend and I know she has a really busy time up until Christmas but hopefully ;) Unless anyone else would like to do one ;D ;D Title: Re: Making candles Post by: Suegardner on February 17, 2009, 11:40:19 AM Just an aside-has anyone seen CR lately? Hope she is ok!
I just wondered has anyone any recommendations for a candle making site? I want to use my trillions of excess fragrances for something, so I fancy candles or melts, although I dont know when I will get round to it. I am not au fait with all of the waxes and my last attempt at a pillar candle with parrafin wax ended up with my setting fire to the kitchen wall. Butr that was 8 years ago now so I shall brave another go. I think I fancy the soy wax though.

Title: Re: Making candles Post by: Michelle on February 17, 2009, 04:59:18 PM Soy wax is lovely but can be a bit unpredicatble at times.And whatever you do dont try making a deep red in it. I volonteered to make scented soy was hearts as wedding favours for my sons wedding last Oct. He wanted Black , Red and Ivory ones. Ivory was easy , black i had to mix bl and red in, the red eeeeeei think it was red and navy liquid candle colour i used in the end but he only got 1 batch of 48 as I couldnt get the same colour again. :tantrum:
Holds fragrance beautifully though. Title: Re: Making candles Post by: Suegardner on February 17, 2009, 06:03:26 PM wow-even scarier than cp soap for colours misbehaving then!
