What to Expect & Avoid At a Candle Making Class in NYC
Ensure Adequate Fragrance Oil Quantity
Pay attention in your candle making class to the instructor's guidance on the right ratio of wax to fragrance oil.
Adding too little fragrance oil results in candles with no aroma, while excess can hinder proper burning.
Choose the Right Wick Size
Exercise caution when selecting wicks, as a one-size-fits-all approach is not applicable.
Different wick sizes cater to various candle types; avoid getting swayed by designs and consider the impact of fragrance oil changes.
Wait for Proper Wax Solidification
Exercise patience and allow sufficient time for wax to solidify before proceeding to the next steps.
Inspect both the top and bottom layers of the candle to ensure complete solidification, considering variations in solidification times based on wax types.
Avoid Rushing the Candle Making Process
Resist the temptation to rush through the process; waiting for complete solidification is crucial.
Different wax materials, like soy and paraffin, require varying durations for solidification, and the instructor will guide you through the specifics.
Don't overlook the importance of burn tests; it's not just about appearance and fragrance.
Burning candles before display ensures they not only look and smell good but are also safe for use, a step often neglected by beginners.
Prioritize Learning Over Appearance
Focus on learning the intricacies of scented candle making rather than just the aesthetics.
Understand that a candle's quality goes beyond its appearance and fragrance; it's essential to ensure proper burning and safety.
Avoid Uniform Wick Usage
Recognize the significance of wick choice concerning changes in fragrance oil or wax quantity.
Failure to adjust wick size when modifying other elements can lead to candles that don't burn evenly or intermittently.
Commit to Perfecting the Craft
Acknowledge that crafting exceptional candles requires dedication and attention to detail.
Avoid common mistakes by staying committed to the learning process and continuously refining your candle making skills.
