Overview

Most candle making books show you what to do. This one shows you what you are looking at. Every technique is photographed at the exact moment it matters. Melting, measuring, blending, pouring, burn testing. The instruction and the photograph carry equal weight, and neither stands alone. Soy wax behaves differently from every other wax. Pour it too hot and the surface cracks and sinks. Add your fragrance oil at the wrong temperature and the oil separates from the wax on cooling. Choose the wrong wick for your container diameter and the candle tunnels on every burn. Understanding why those outcomes happen is what this book is built around, from the first chapter. What This Book Covers: Wax science - the practical differences between Golden Brands 464 and 444, container grades versus pillar grades, and how fragrance binding capacity changes between them Wick selection - the CD, ECO, and CDN series by container diameter, and how a higher fragrance load shifts wick behaviour in ways most guides do not address Fragrance loading - flash point safety, calculating load by weight, and selecting soy-compatible oils that bind correctly and throw well The pour - exact temperature windows per wax grade, reading surface defects, and the second pour method for sinkholes Inside the Burn Testing Chapter: A complete multi-session protocol for evaluating melt pool diameter, flame height, and wick condition The one-variable rule for diagnosing real problems without losing your working formula You finish with a full guided first project, from raw materials through to a confirmed formula you can reproduce at any batch size. Your first correct pour is waiting.
