One of my reed diffuser clients just asked me to make them two XL outdoor candles. I do wax melts, but have never experimented with candles, let alone 14.5 inch wide outdoor ones! so that's quite a fun challenge to take. Before purchasing material and diving into the actual candle making, I am obviously doing plenty of research, and your video has been the most helpful resource for me on this journey, Julia. You should really add a super thanks button! + If I may humbly add a point or two from my noob position, I think it's worth experimenting with different wicks before comitting to one type, making sure to test them in the intended use case, in this case, outdoors. As I understand it, some are surely going to perform better than others. I also think it's worth noting that not all beeswax are hard, and not all soy waxes are soft. Lastly, for those of us who ship our products, especially in summer, I believe it's worth looking into waxes with high congealing points, to minimize the risk of deformation during shipping. The one I went for has a congealing point of 120-129° F. I'd love to hear your thoughts on these.

Those are some great tips! I've started making candles as a fun activity with my kids, but failed having even looking shapes. Now I know why 😅😊

Haha yeah, my first few candles looked super wonky!! It takes a few tries to get the hang of it but the great thing about candles is that you can always re-melt the wax and try again 😃

Would ramekins work? Many are $1.75-3 at Daiso Japan.
