Have you priced quality supplies? Look at the supplies in your kit to see what you should look for. Not saying you have to invest thousands to start with, but it does take a decent amount for testing to get a good quality product (if it's not safe and good, you wont have any return customers). I don't mean to sound negative, but if your income doesn't even cover your rent....this will probably harm more than help your finances. Good luck to you though, whatever you eventually decide. Making candles is as fun as frustrating. I wouldn't trade it for anything
