Equipment Tips for Container CandlesDon’t forget, as we discussed in the Container Candles Introduction, it is very important that you choose non-flammable containers, so remember – no plastic or wood containers. Maybe try, old jelly jars, small drinking glasses, or perhaps even an old used large Marmite jar. |
When making container candles, in fact when making any type of candles, wax temperature during the melting process is very important.
So make sure you have a specialized wax thermometer or use a candy or cooking thermometer as long as it has the appropriate temperature ranges on it.
The thermometer needs to register temperatures between 100F and 300F for candle making, but this is completely dependent on the type of wax you choose to use. Full details relating to a wax's melt point will be included with the wax when you purchase it.
