1. Pot
Holder
|
If you are using
a can without a handle, a pair of pliers or vice grip tends to
work ok.
|
|
2. Wick Cutters
|
When you're just
starting out, a pair of sharp scissors works ok, but to get a
smooth cut, you'll want to buy a nice set of wick cutters.
|
|
3. Thermometer
|
This is an
absolute necessity. A candy thermometer works fine.
Any thermometer that will clip to the side of the boiler will be
ok.
|
|
4. Wooden Utensils
|
To stir and tend to the heating wax.
|
|
5. Vegeatble Oil
|
You'll need this to spray or spread on
the inside of the mold. It makes the wax release the mold
after cooling.
|
|
6. Double Boiler
|
Doesn't have to be fancy. One
smaller pot inside one larger pot will usually work ok.
Commercial boilers are the best, however.
|
|
7. Dowel or Ice Pick
|
You'll need something like this to
bore relief holes in the drying wax.
|
|
8. Candle Molds
|
|
|
9. Various Pots and Pans
|
Make sure you have several different
sized pots and pans nearby. You'll have 1,001 different uses
for them.
