I would have to agree with Scents for Me About the pre-blended wax. I started with the pillar kit from www.peakcandle.com as you get 10 LBs of 4625 pillar wax, a 3x6.5 pillar, 5 2oz bottles of Fragrance oil, 24ply flat braid, dye chips, a 4LB pour pot,,they also have kits for votives and containers. The kits are well worth the money if you add everything up individually. JMO,,,,:rolleyes2 also write everything down that you do,,,read a lot,,ask questions and above all TEST< TEST<TEST
