    I'm new in the candle business. I'm looking to see if anyone is making candles with the technique of pouring wax into water?

  1. I use micro for a candle I call WOWcandles (Wax on water) not sure if it's gonna work just yet! I have been playin around with several waxes for the past year, with different melt points to find the right one. "I need strength" is it, "The higher the melt point the stronger the wax". I pour the wax into water, around and away form a 1 1/4 x 2"x10"-12" taper to form walls. I've got some Vybar haven't tried it yet. I found a Cal-wax product that worked very well, but it's pricey. Any suggestions?
  2. I'm sorta new in the candle business, I'm making a candle that I haven't seen for many years. It useta be called "Water Candle" but not to infringe on the name I'm calling them WOW Candles. (wax on water). The process requires pouring wax into water around a tapered candle that is replaceable. All you do is replace the taper. When these candles are completed they look like little castles or sometimes ships. There are no two candles alike in color or shape. This way the candle holder for lack of a better term can be used for many years. I currently have one of these candles that was made back in the 70's and I only need to replace the taper to continue to use this work of art. Does anyone know of anyone making these?
