FAQs About Candle Making Supplies

Basic candle making supplies often include wax (paraffin, soy, or beeswax), wicks, fragrance oils, dye, moulds, thermometer, and containers for pouring.

Soy wax is popular for its clean burn and eco-friendliness. Paraffin wax is widely used for vibrant colours and fragrance throw, while beeswax provides a natural, honey-scented candle.

The wick size depends on the candle’s diameter and wax type. A wick that is too small will not burn properly, while a wick that’s too large can cause excessive soot or uneven burning.

Yes, fragrance oils are added to the melted wax, typically at around 70°C. Always use candle-specific scents to ensure they burn safely and effectively.

Candle dyes or colour chips are added to the melted wax to achieve the desired shade. Stir well and ensure the colour is fully dissolved before pouring into the mould.

Tunnelling occurs when the wax burns down the centre, leaving unused wax around the edges. To avoid this, ensure your wick is the correct size, and allow the candle to burn long enough for the entire surface to melt.
