Hi everyone! I have been browsing these forums for a while now, and I realize many questions get asked over and over and over again, so I do apologize if this is a pain to read lol. I LOVE candles! I love incense, I love making my own bath and body products! I recently spent over 100 dollars on yankee candles, only to have one slightly scent the room. This has led me to researching how to make my own candles, because that is just ridiculous to me. I am grasping everything, but there is so many opinions on what works, what doesn't, so I know trial and error will be huge! So I wanted to share what I have purchased, and ask if you guys feel that I am on the right path? I already have a scale to measure everything out. I have ordered a candle science pitcher, various fragrances, and this wax http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81zdFjePggL._SL1500_.jpg And these wicks http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0092RN1C6/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i03?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Will those wicks work in 8 oz mason jars, and 4 oz mason jars? I got these ones http://www.myworldhut.com/product_images/h/ball_8oz_regularmouth_60000__16083.jpg and http://ace.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pACE3-957278enh-z7.jpg Also from what I have been reading, I will be melting the wax to 185 degrees, let it cool to 180 and stir in 2 oz fragrance oil (for 1 pound wax) for about 2 minutes, and then pour at 170 degrees. How does that sound? Thank you SO much for taking the time to read this, I am really excited to start doing this!
