Here's a quick chuckle for the weekend..... On our local CraigsList a chandler had decided to go out of business and listed all of her soy candle supplies, plus bath/body, for sale. In her listing, she had stated, "If you want to learn to make candles, I can teach you in 10 minutes how to make them." My sister and I went, and did buy some fragrance oils, containers, and a case of wax she'd just purchased. It was a Golden Wax that I'd used before with success, but I was still mentally chuckling about the "teach you in 10 minutes" thing, so I asked her what she typically used as her top temp to melt. She had these plastic melting machines (that looked like what my nephew uses to make crayons with), and said she really didn't know what temp. She just loaded up the melters and when the wax melted, she dumped in a few tablespoons of fragrance and poured. "There's really nothing to it. Anybody can make candles and sell them cheap. Just stick a wick in whatever jar you want, and you're done." My sister laughed in a good-natured way and said to me, "Well, we've been doing it all wrong by monitoring temperatures and testing wicks with different containers and fragrance." The lady didn't understand sarcasm. She waved her hand. "Oh, yeah. Complete waste of your time, girl." She was serious! "I hear some fools take years doing all that testing." I guess she didn't realize we were some of those fools We didn't offer any debate points, paid for our items, and giggled a considerable bit on the drive home.
