#Candle Making Dos: -Prioritize safety: Ventilate, monitor temps, have extinguisher ready. -Use quality materials: Candle wax, proper wicks, fragrance oils. -Melt wax in double boiler; add scent at 180-185°F, stir well. -Secure wick centered; pour slowly, cool undisturbed. -Cure 24-48 hours; test burn each batch. -Trim wicks to 1/4 inch before use. #Don'ts -Rush cooling or curing—causes defects. Use non-candle items like crayons or perfumes—fire risks. -Overload fragrance (>12%)—poor performance. -Pick wrong wick size—leads to sooting or tunneling. -Add flammable decorations inside wax. -Overheat wax—scorching or fires. -Ignore issues like frosting; note and adjust techniques.
