Guest guest Posted September 23, 2000 Report Share Posted September 23, 2000 Hi Michele, I was wondering if you could give us some tips on making candles... the most easy way to make scented candles, for instance. I tried adding a few drops of oil to melted wax, but the scent didn't get any strong! I had to add a lot of oil LOL What is the best way to scent your candles made from melted wax? Hugs!

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2000 Report Share Posted September 24, 2000 well..... you do have to add a lot of oil to make your candle scented. That's why I'm here, to buy oil more cheaply than I can otherwise. Also, add your oil last, just before you pour your candle. The problem is that when the wax is hot, it can cause the oil to evaporate. If you add it just before you pour the candle, then it has less time to evaporate. When I have time a little later, (Adrian is being cranky just now) I'll write more about making candles, but realize, I'm still learning too! I'm not an expert, most of what I learned is from trial and many errors. Hope this helps! Smiles!

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2000 Report Share Posted September 24, 2000 Thanks for the info, Michele! I noticed other thing when I added the oil: the drops crystalized in the wax LOL Why would that happen? Write any time, I'd love to learn about it! Also, does anyone know where can I get molds for the candles? Thanks again Michele!
