Hello all. I'm a newbie, I asked a few questions a couple of weeks ago, and now I have another question. I received my soy candle making kit in the mail today (woo-hoo). But before getting overly excited and rushing to make my first candle, I read the directions from where I got my soy kit from and I also re-read through the basic instructions here. I noticed that one step is to heat your container. I don't really hear people talk about this much, so I'm just curious.... Do people normally heat their containers? If so, do you use a heat gun or the oven? or something else? And finally...am I reading correctly, you heat the container right before you pour? This confused me a little because I was under the impression that once I've added my scent and dye, I should pretty much pour shortly after. So I didn't know if I took the extra step to heat my container, would that mean I'm waiting too long too pour. Thanks for your help! I've decided to wait until tomorrow evening to make my first candle. This way I have time to make sure I've got all my questions answered. :-)
