My first candle · The essential guide to making candles at home (PDF)

Everything you need to make scented candles at home, in 20 pages

Making a candle isn't hard. Making it the same way twice is. This guide gathers the essentials of the first module of our online scented candle course (taught in Spanish): the full process, the calculations and the judgement to make your second candle better than your first.

No “magic temperatures” or industry secrets: we explain what happens at each decision so that you can choose.

What's inside

• The candle in nine steps: from empty glass to cured candle, with the numbers of a real candle.
• The recipe: how much wax fits in your glass and how much fragrance it takes, with a reference table.
• What you need, and what you don't: what to buy, what you already have in the kitchen and what never gets used.
• The wick: how to choose the size and what the flame is telling you.
• Temperatures for mixing and pouring, and what changes at each extreme.
• The wax: soy, rapeseed, coconut, paraffin, beeswax. Which one suits you.
• The fragrance: how much to add and why a candle sometimes doesn't smell.
• Defects: wet spots, cracks and sinkholes. What they are and how to avoid them.
• The burn test: how to know a candle is safe and burns well.
• Two printable sheets: the recipe card and the burn test sheet.
