Necessary materials:
- The form for casting wax or wax;
- Cream for easy separation of the candle from the mold;
- Wick;
- A special needle or stick to fixing the wick;
- Paraffin;
- Pigment or paraffin wax.
Pre-casting.
On the inner surface of the mold with a thin even layer, apply the cream, so that later, when the wax hardens, the candle can be easily removed. Fasten the fuse. One edge of his reserve in a recess shape (this is the top of the finished candle), the other edge of the tie (or cheat on needle).
Preparation of colored wax.
The container pour paraffin pellets (pellets are very convenient to use, no need to cut or crush ordinary household candle), immediately adding a pigment (it will melt together with paraffin).
You can add stearin (20% of the total weight of the wax) to the finished candle burned longer and less melted, but you can do without it. The whole mixture Melt in a water bath. The water does not need to bring to a boil, but if it happened by accident, it's okay. Stir with a spoon until the mixture turned into a homogenous liquid with evenly distributed color. So color the wax is ready.
Fill it to the form. Pour slowly need into one place, it is better closer to the middle, not to raise high. Leave the wax to harden for a few hours, but the longer, the better.
We took out a frozen candle from the mold.
It is very easy to do, because pre-form has been lubricated cream. No need to turn sharply shaped to spark accidentally slipped out of it and do not split. A candle can be washed with soap and water (a little and warm water), as its surface may be slippery due to the cream. If you still difficult to remove the candle from the mold, it may be briefly put in a cool place, for example, in the refrigerator, and then try again. When the candle was taken out, it is necessary to cut off the unnecessary part of the wick.
Candle is ready!
