  • Did you heat the glasses first? I'm surprised that not a single one cracked when you poured in the hot wax.

  • @sweetelesue - that is why you use thick glass mason jars.

  • this guy has 3 videos of making candles which are all the same pretty much

  • @Backwoodsboy350 - whats your point Backwoodsboy350??

  • @survivalistboards - why did you type my name out twice survivalistboards?? lol

  • @Backwoodsboy350 - youtube put this new quote system into effect, and I was not sure how well it worked.

    My name is Kevin, survivalistboards is the name of the forum.

  • x2 on where to buy wax in bulk

  • I have been wanting to make candles.

  • where do you buy the bulk wax and the die ?

  • is that paraphen wax or however you spell it? thats what i have, and im afraid to heat it that way because it seems the wax is still directly on the burner even though theres 2 pans

    But do us straight paraphen wax or a mixture of beeswax?

  • where do u find wics??????????i wish they would respond to our questions!!!

  • where do u find wics??????????

    

  • @flytyer232 I like container candles because they hold more fragrance and the jars are refillable. Less messy.

  • @cynan48 But soy doesn't smell as good.

  • @theheathmould Making them too thick?

  • @alexandriatrejo looks like lone star
