Looking for some advice on a wax melter. We bought a small one at a craft store just to test it out, and we like the ease that it provides. Kind of have my eye on a Vevor brand that has a 10 liter capacity and a 9 level temperature control. Any thoughts on this or other models? Any advice is appreciated.

I usually work with Palm/paraffin which is super forgiving, but I wanted to try this gradient effect with Paraffin 140. Lots and lots and lots of tiny bubbles. Next pour I’m going to
Pour at 180 F Heat mold up to 160 F Turn my Nest to 70 F (I keep my house at 62 usually) Pour slowly
Any other suggestions?

Lately I been having issues like mild cratering and this sort of frost residue on the surface of the wax. I use 444 and 464 golden soy wax. Does anyone else run into that and know any ways I can prevent that from happening? Maybe I should use another wax?

Hi everyone, I got these neat video store candles off etsy a while back and they are very cool! I was reading the top note scents on the description, and they had a strange one like VHS/ Carpet. I thought that was interesting and I would like to make my own to make for myself and friends/family. I was wondering if anyone knows what fragrance oils I could mix to acquire that sort of scent? I can find the buttered popcorn and candy ones fine.

If you use a heat gun on candles for the top to fix sink holes do you need to wait another 2 weeks for the candles to cure?
And if you waited 2 weeks for them to cure and you use the heat gun after the 2 weeks to fix the sink holes do you need to wait another 2 weeks for them to cure since you applied heat?

How do people relieve themselves when there are multiple stressful or unsettling situations in our lives?
At first I listen to music, put on my headphones and allow myself to immerse myself, think freely and slowly relieve my mind and body. It would be nice to have a green, natural environment. Later, when I was introduced to scented candles, I would light a jar of candles and burn them while listening to music in an environment where the scent I love would bring more relief to my body. The combination of the two makes me feel more relaxed.

I bought a few molds that have very obvious 3D print ridges. I’m curious if anyone has any advice on how to smooth it out without losing any of the shaped candle detail?
