Advanced Techniques & Finishing

Six pages on the techniques that separate a homemade candle from one that looks like it came off a shelf.

Inside:

• Glass-smooth tops: pour temperature, ambient temperature and the heat gun method
• Layered and gradient candles without a visible seam
• Wood wicks: sizing, sealing, and why they drown
• Double wicking: spacing, and the container sizes that need it
• Embeds, dried botanicals and the fire risks that come with them
• Repours and second pours done invisibly
• Labelling and finishing so the candle survives shipping

What you get: instant digital download. 6 pages of content, supplied print-ready in both A4 and US Letter inside the same PDF. Not editable. No physical item is shipped.

Safety: candle making involves hot wax and open flame. Every recipe states melt and pour temperatures and fragrance load limits — follow them. Never leave melting wax unattended, and always burn-test a new recipe before selling or gifting it.
