Hello All, 

I am new to candle making and have been surfing the web with tons of information and of course varying preferences. I’m beginning with the intent to start a business. My questions are as follows for anyone who can respond is most appreciated. 

1) preference in candle wax with the best burn longevity and fragrance

2) preference of wicks that work best with the corresponding wax

3) containers, I’m thinking about wine bottles?? Where can you purchase specialty containers for a reasonable price? 

4) can your pour candle wax in pottery as it can be pourous or can you coat the inside with something to keep it from breaking when lit? 

Sorry for so many questions and I appreciate any recommendations of where to look that provides greater detail on these items in question.

Regards, 

Tammy
