Thank you for sharing it as I made some wedding favors at a wedding just recently for my friend, and one of the bridesmaids wants me to do a candle party Another video I saw because I don’t have my own shop while people are waiting. She was playing golden girls bingo so that’s another idea to do is play games whether you have a shop or you’re in someone else’s home.

For most waxes a smaller vessel is great so you don't have to deal with sinkholes unless the wax doesn't do it too bad., Plus a smaller vessel hardens up quicker.

@@shareekascreen6346 No, for this application, the wax, the wick, the vessel and what ever oil we use it is going to work almost 100% of the time. If anything it might burn a little lighter with some oils but not enough to ruin a candle. This vessel and wax combo works perfect with the LCS 45's and the LCS 50's, for the classes we error on the side of safer and use the smaller wick for all oils.
