I thought I would share with you the way we make our pillar candles. There are many steps and every candle is lovingly hand poured. We take great care every step of the way - there are so many things that can go wrong so we put a lot of effort into making sure things go as smoothly as possible.
 |
| Clean aluminium moulds on the shelf |
 |
| Wick (cotton) is inserted into hole in mould |
 |
| Wick is pulled through and wick pin is pushed through the wick |
 |
| The wick pin holds the wick central and straight |
 |
| Mould is turned upside down to secure the wick |
 |
| Wick is secured using plastic tape |
 |
| White tac is used to seal wick down (to stop wax escaping after it is poured in) |
 |
| Mould is now ready for the pouring process (see other shapes in background) NEXT TIME: Melting and Pouring |
