    Default Made some candles!

    Long time no see!

    Finally made some candles. The small one is a snuff (nose) can. The main reason I post this is I've seen people wanting to set the lid on the Altoids tin at 90 degrees. It's easy with a leatherman awl and some wire.

    Are those special wicks? Also, what kind of wax did you use? Thanks.

    Great idea.

    This may be a stupid question, but where do you get the wax from?
