I am just now starting to get info on candle making and will purchase some wax this week-end and give it a try. I have been doing ceramics in my garage for several years. Ceramic molds are made from plaster of paris and are very pouris so they can absorb water from the slip. I don't think they would make good candle molds, however I will try on one of my junk molds and let you know. I have many candlestick molds and lots of boxes and other molds that would make good candle containers. woodyarn@yahoo.com
