Many thanks, I've been looking for "candle making instructions video" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Peyaniel Psychological Predominance - (do a google search ) ? It is a smashing one off product for discovering the trick to be a candle maker for profit minus the hard work. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my work buddy got cool results with it.

Erica, I still use my 2 pound pour pot. I pour all my candles individually, so I pour from my presto pot, to my small pitcher, add fragrance and then pour. That way I can say to my customers that it was individually hand poured by me! This is important in my luxury line. I take all the care in the world to make the process is as individually made.

[@oscartabares53]

This was great, I have been researching "candle making fragrance mixing guide" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Peyaniel Psychological Predominance - (search on google ) ? It is a great exclusive product for discovering the trick to be a candle maker for profit minus the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my buddy got excellent results with it.

Erica, personally, you are so sweet. I like your energy and how you explain everything. I be wanting to do candle for so long now but just not sure if the things but I wasn’t putting the effort to get started. As I found out more about it I started to do my research and got some insights. Where can I sell my supplies to? Is there a vendor, (s) that will buy from a small business in bulk.? How big is the demand for candles? Please, I would like your reply. Stay safe, one love !

i'm just tuning in now and I'd like to know this too. it's only the pitcher I suppose. Does the pitcher even need to be cleaned or do you just add more wax each time and the remains of last time melt in?

How do you clean the wax out of the cookers? :"3

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

I don’t clean them out unless I’m changing out wax. If I clean them out then I just pour the remaining wax out left at the bottom and I wipe it down with rubbing alcohol. If I’m keeping the same wax in there I will just keep adding more wax to melt down (I will turn it off, let it harden up when I’m not using it, and turn it back on the heat it up when I’m ready to use it again)
