roughly 1/3 of the total candle weight. In this video each cavity holds 160g total. so each layer is around 53g

Hello, thanks 😊 ! Well it depends of the type of wax you use (soy, paraffin, wax blend...). But not long in my case as you need it to bond with the next layer that will have to be poured at your usual temperature.

It is about the texture of the wax than the time between the layer. You want the layer to be in a jelly texture.

Hi Camille, from what you are describing it looks like you have used a container wax. For any moulded candles you need to use a pillar wax. Specifically designed for this type of candles, the wax gets way harder and allows a good finish. I hope it helps.

Thank you so much, it means a lot! Good question, I have tried the hairdryer as this is what I had at home to begin with and i would say that it can be done BUT you will struggle as the hair dryer actively push a lot of hot air out. you get two issues: 1) the hairdryer is not hot enough (you'll get there, but it will be long) & 2) because of the air coming out the melted wax is gonna go everywhere. I'd say spend the £15 on a heat gun.
