Beautiful candle.

Nice demonstration , I had taken an apprenticeship with Cady's Candles in Wisconsin Dells some 22 years back and ran my business successfully for 10 years before taking a job that gave me a pension. I still have all my equipment and supplies in my home and look forward to getting back into it when I retire, so relaxing and best job I ever had.

Additionally I paid $6000 U.S. to learn which included all my suppliers and all those little secrets. And even as the seasons changed , cold hot humidity all the problem solving :)

I am 61 and loved watching candle carvers in the shops in Nashville Indiana. I live in Shelbyville Indiana and I hope I can find a place where I can my very first candle.

Glad I found this I wanted to get into another form of art.💜

Love this

This is just sooo helpful! Thank you. So many tips that will make my carving life ever so much easier. One question I do have though is where you buy the glaze and does it have to be heated? Could you use a dip of clear wax instead?

It's something I've always wanted to do

Hi ! Very beautiful candle. I am from another country. I want to know what kind of gloss do you use. Just can you give me more information. So that I will buy the right one. Thanks a lot.

Hi , I live in a country that we don’t have professional wax melter tank , or we can’t order one online , I wondered can we make a heater like yours ? what it is made of ? Is the big water container made of wood ?

Hi JP! Unfortunately we did not make the melter or have the electrical knowledge of the components inside the heater. There is a heater that is wired underneath to stay to a specific temperature making it perfect for craving candle. I'm sorry we couldn't be of more assistance!

Hi, thanks for your detailed video and moreover to the good heart of replying.....I have couple of questions.. I found that microcrystalline wax has different grades.. laminating, coating and hardening...which one is best for carving? How do u mix the pigment to wax....is it direct or mixed with oil? Thanking you in advance and eagerly awaiting for your reply!!!!!

@CandlesandSupplies

The microcrystalline that we use is one designed to make the carving paraffin less brittle and more flexible. I'm not sure what other industries this microcrystalline is used in - we love it for carving! Just mix the pigment directly with the wax and it will blend nicely.

@CandlesandSupplies

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Alla! Stearic acid hardens a wax and micro wax actually helps make the wax more pliable so they do different jobs. No need to add stearic to carving wax. You don't want the carving wax too hard otherwise it won't carve well. The micro adds some stretch so to speak into the wax so can carve and maneuver it.
