Welcome to my site! We have the Making Wax Candles information that you are looking for.
Where to find wax for Candle making?
Or what are the ingredients to produce wax for candle making?
i'm planning to put up a candle business but i don't know the basic ingredients of it.please help.
There are several different types of wax. All of them have their pluses and minuses.
I recommend you spend some time on various candle forums or other professional candle makers asking questions. I don't recommend the kits if you want to make a quality candle. They are expensive and don't really produce a high quality product.
What type of candles are you going to make? There is different wax for container candles, pillars, votives, and tarts.
There are also different blends of wax. For instance, one type of wax may have reduced shrinkage and allow you to pour containers in a single pour while others may reduce wet spots.
We use a turkey roaster ($29 at Walmart) to melt our wax. It has a thermostat and the melting point of wax is between 125 and 180F. Or you can use a double boiler to melt the wax on the stove. However, some of our customers that have tried to make their own candles got bad burns because they melted the wax till it was boiling and it spilled on them.
There are also some additives that must be added to the candles.
Wicks are very important. The size of the wick depends ofthe type of candle aswell as the size. If the wick is too small or too large, it won't burn properly.
Scents - Buy the best that you can, but test, test, test. Many distributors will provide testor bottles for a small fee ($1-2). Smell them, make candles with them, and test burn the candles. During our last big review of scents, we tried 60 scents, test burned 20, and finally ended up using 12. Just because the scents have the same name, the scents may be very different. Even the distributor will change suppliers and that may affect the scent.
Colors can be either solid or liquid. We prefer liquid because it give more options.
I recommend high quality metal molds. They will be used frequently, so pay the difference. You'll save money in the long run.
As you can see there are many options and choices. Be aware that many buyers buy only on price. We spend a lot of time educating our customers on how we make our candles and why they are of such a high quality. Don't try to match the price of the Walmarts or other low cost stores.
