Prepare Your Materials - Make Basic Molded Pillar Candles
Weigh the Wax

Weigh the Wax

David Fisher
For this project you'll need:
  • Pillar Blend Wax (I'm using IGI 4625)
  • Appropriate Wick (I'm using an HTP 105)
  • Pillar Candle Mold (I'm using a metal 3" x 8" mold)
  • Fragrance or Essential oil
  • Colorant, dye chip, or dye
Figure out how much wax your mold will need, weigh it, and put it into your melting pot.
