Here are a few things about making candles that you should know. If you want to make truly fragrant candles, candles that will just blow you, your friends and/or customers away, then there are just some things you must approach with extreme care and caution. Things like wax, fragrance oil, and wicks.
It is a fact that the quality of most candle making supplies will vary greatly from company to company. I get emails confirming this from our customers every day. There are some items (wax, fragrance oils, wicks) that I recommend you never purchase at your local craft store. Here's why, you will run into the problem that the sales clerk(s) in craft stores just can't answer any technical questions regarding these products. It's not a reflection of them, they're just simply not trained or knowledgable with regards to candle making supplies. That's all we do.
For example, most wicks in a craft store aren't even primed or tabbed or, if they are then you'll pay top dollar for only a few wicks in a bag, you'll also pay over $5 for a 1/2 oz bottle of poor quality fragrance oil that no one knows how old it is. Now, You can buy a slab of wax at just about any craft store, but try to find out what additives you'll need to make the candles you want to make, is the wax for container candles, for pillar candles, etc, just ask the clerk what the wax is recommended for, what is the melt point of the wax, ask what additives you'll need in order for the fragrance oil to bind properly with the wax to give a decent scent throw, what is the wax flash point, melt point, what temperature should the wax be melted when adding the dye and fragrance oil, etc. Is it a straight paraffin or a blended wax, if it's a blended wax what type of candle is it recommended for? If it's a straight paraffin wax what additives would you need to use to make container candles, pillar candles, votive candles? I'm sure when you ask some of these questions you're going to see a huge blank look come across the clerks face. Thats where we come in, we have answers to all those questions...and more, regarding our quality candle making supplies. At Cajun's Candle & Soap Supplies, all you ever have to do is ask a question.
