The technology of manufacturing transparent candles

Two elements of tannin, dissolved by heating 10 glycerin elements, are added to it. A cloudy solution forms, but the cloudiness disappears with further boiling of the mixture. The ready-made mass is poured into ordinary candlestick forms. These candles burn calmly, also without the undesirable odor.

To make thin candles it is enough to make the wick also lower it into the molten mass. Then raise, give it time to solidify the mass on the wick also lower again. And also so several times, until you get the right thickness of the candle.
