Depending on what sort of mold you're using will determine what sort of preparation you have to do.

If you're just using a milk container, just make sure that it's clean and intact. If, like I am here, you're using a regular candle mold, be sure to seal up the wick hole (if it has one) with mold sealer. Make sure to press it down well and evenly. You want to make sure that the candle sits level on the counter.

Start your wax melting. You want it to be about 200 degrees when you pour it!
