I bought hundreds and hundreds of dollars on candle making supplies, only to find it too hard for me, so I moved on to soaps. But I hate that I have so much stuff for candles, a lot unused and unopened. I did read thru the threads here, but in case I missed a few I want to ask what I did wrong.
My problem is I *always* had a little line mark from where I topped the candle off after the well was formed. I thought I did it right every time, used a heat gun to melt the top, it just always left a little line and a very slight difference in color. And when it hardened after I topped off the well, there was always a 'ripple' on the top of it. And the last problem I had, unless I made a tealight, the burning candle always had a one in diameter of meling wax, while the outside stayed rock hard. I found it annoying that a small glass votive didn't melt evenly. Any advice?
