All I ask of you is give yourself some time and before you know it, you’ll be producing exquisite candles.

Is that fair?

What are the two most important how to make candles equipment?

Here’s the two basic candle making equipment or tools of the trade for your candle making craft:

1. Large pot

Preferably, you’ll want to use a double boiler or a large pot and smaller pot to fit inside.

If you’re not using a double boiler, you can use two sturdy aluminium pots or suitable containers (or empty cans) on the bottom of a large pot.

Simply put a smaller pot inside a large pot.

The large pot is directly on the heat source, this is filled with water and the candle wax is placed in the smaller pot where it slowly melts.

Tip: You’ll want to keep the smaller pot at least half inch above the base of the large pot.

There’s only once exception to using a double boiler and that’s when you’re using gel wax.

In the traditional sense, gel wax does not melt. However, gel wax becomes a workable medium at approx the 200 and 220 degrees temperature range.

2. Thermometer.

Wax melts quickly and has the potential to literally explode if it reaches too high a temperature…

To be on the safe side, you’ll want a thermometer because it really is an absolute necessity.

If you don’t specifically use a candle thermometer, you can use a candy
thermometer or any thermometer that shows temperature ranges from
100 to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

Whatever you do, don’t try to guess the temperature of melting wax.

A few other candle making supplies you’ll need include:

• Candle molds
• Dip can
• Food scale
• Baking or cookie sheet
• Hammer and utensils set
