Yea I just found out about that , good to know.Thanks

Yes for dipping my carved candles. They say to use pigment dyes to dip or else other dyes will bleed together and not look good after a while, is this really true, what dye should I use that's really a think nice white for candle dipping.thanks sherry

Yes I am doing cut and carve candles. Sherry

Hi all, I have a ? About my white pigment dye. It says to melt the dye in about 170 to 180 degrees F. Which I did, and than I tried a higher temp, when I stir the white dye up every now and than it comes to the top like little dye circles why won't it completely melt. And I added a lot and it's still not white like I see other pp videos, what am I doing wrong. Thanks Sherry.

Hi all, after carving my fancy candle I dip it in wax than the glaze but I see a few don't sit flat like most of mine do. My ? Is can I level a already dried glazed candle on a old electric pan with glaze on it. The spinning method way, thanks for yr answers. Also does anyone know if you can mix chip dye with pigment dye I bought some new pigment dye but still have a 3/4 vat of the chip dye, thanks again Sherry.

I can try and help, but need to no what kind of candles u r trying to make, I make the fancy carving candles, cut and carve ones. And haven't been doing it a long time yet but have learned a lot so far, I use paffafin wax and get the 138 melt point or the 140 melt point and I also add microcrystalline just about three table spoons for a 3/4 full pouring pot the tall pot. And than add my wax to that and stir to make my candle molds. If you need any other help let me know, sherry.

Ya I think yr right. My hubby can make that he said for me, so thanks anyway.

I bought the tools from him but don't see this tool in my pic. He doesn't have this one, can someone else tell me what the name of this tool is in my pic and where I can order it thanks sherrry

Hi everyone, I'm looking for this tool to buy but can't fined it online anywhere does anyone know where I can buy this tool for carving candles I will try to attach a picture of it. Thanks Sherry.

I just bought mine from urkrine and I spent 800 for 110v ten vats and it works great. Took 12 days to come cuz I'm in upstate ny but two days where because of the storm Skylr. Love it so far, best price I found.

Hi I'm Sherry from upstate NY. I'm new to candle carving. And just got all the nessary stuff for carving my candles, with trial and era I've learned a lot so far. The 140 melt point wax I ordered when making my candles was still hard and crumbled a little when carving. I added some steric to the wax and it seems to work much better for carving. Now I have to make more candles with that added and than can practice more. Anyone out there have any tips on other tricks for carving and making a better candle for carving and where is the best place to order wax for carving I got my wax from Candlewic. I read 140 was the best for carving and other places say 126 to 132 is better. Which do you guys use. Thanks

Candle wic

Got it from candle Wil just said 140 melt.

Hi I just started making candles with metal molds and using Paffafin 140 melt. I warm my molds up first than heat the wax to around 185 add my dye and stir goodthan pour my candle a 6 star mold. All my candles are not coming out clear, they all have some snow flaking or spots on them. What am I doing wrong. I don't add anything else to them. Thanks sherry
