  • which is best, the melting pot straight on the heat or in a double boiler? I have always been told to use the double boiler, but if you accidently get a drop of water, errrrgh! But I thought it would discolor the wax on direct heat?

  • I've learned that this is a perfectly normal wax thing--the wax will leave a weird sloping shape around your wick. To fix the prob, let the candle cool for about an hour, then pour a little more of the same wax into the top. The wax will congeal together naturally, and the wax cave will be gone. :)

  • @Oreocremerocks ive watched lots of videos and they said easiest to use pitcher thingo

  • can you just put it in the microwave instead?

  • (T_T) woooooooow that was too fast...

  • One time my science teacher was making soy candles (she's a craft lady) and she accidently spilled on the floor, so for the rest of the week everyone was falling all over the place haha!

    But yeah, this helped :]

  • 14 times!!!! bahahaha

  • @chauncy424 i counted 6 XD

  • someone should count how many times he says wick tab.

  • This is what I love. A candle maker will give you all the help you need but I have yet to find one candle maker to say what their exact recipe is. There is many types of soy wax so of you really want to help be specific.

  • What is your website address? I cannot find it by typing in Blue Creek Candle Company.
