[Nfb-krafters-korner] Candles

[Shelbi Hindel]

I have not tried soap making for the same reason. I am nervous about the
lye. I also like my candles to be in jars. Also a bit worried about pouring
hot thick liquids, especially if there is something across the top of the
container such as a pencil to hold a wick up. I am sure that there is a
method to do this I just can't think of it.

Oh, candles. Do you use soy wax or natural wax such as from candelaria nuts
or the paraffin which I heard is dangerous.  I have heard of people doing
candle carving or sculpting.  But not for me.  I just wanted to use
interesting found objects, old jars, etc. to hold them.

I emailed for a time with Delores Boone who wrote a book about soap than
BARD did.  But the lye scared me.  It gets very hot.
