    As a candlemaker, I greatly enjoyed this content! Mica isn't great for candles because it clogs the wick, but it can be used in wax melts and as an exterior coating for pillar/taper candles. Evan's candle drowned because of two reasons: the diameter of the wick was too small for the container, and the mica clogged the wick, limiting the flame. The cheap kit is very close to a real candlemaking set up, actually! The pots I use are taller and have a plastic handle to avoid heat transfer. I could see you guys doing pretty well at your next candlemaking attempts!

      @@nicholekam5527 wax expands when warm and shrinks when cool. The edges cool faster, and thus hold the shape of it, but then as it center cools, it shrinks.

    As someone who makes candles, I was just waiting for them to discover the wax collapse! Also, in my experience, usually the "bottom plug" of molds is actually the top of the candle, so after demolding you flip it over and have the nice flat surface as the top, and the mountainy pour over is hidden underneath.

    The reason why the wax in katelyn's kit took so long to melt was because it was beeswax, whereas the wax evan was using was soy wax. Beeswax has a much higher melting point than soy wax, which is why it took so long. When I make candles with beeswax I just cover the lid and chill, occasionally stirring.

    I used to work for a resorts activity center. We would offer candle making to our guests. Def. Prefer the metal pot option. We used a thicker vessel directly on the hot plate and it worked great. We could melt large quantities at once . Also highly recommend picking up candle vessels, such as tealight holders, at the dollar tree. Works like a charm. Embeds are fun to add as well. Plastic & clay charms or even natural options like fern leafs with spa scents and soft pastel colors. So many options! The fan favorite was hidden "surprise" items. We would use the little gashpon(sp?) plastic eggs, hide a toy or charm then hide it in the candle. The lower melting temp of soy was is best for embeds. :-)Thanks for sharing, LOVE your content!!

    I feel like the expensive kit would be perfect for children. The low temperature warming means that, depending on their age, they'd only need very light parental supervision or none at all.
    Perfect for kids and preteens who want a baby step into candle/soap making. Then if they start outgrowing the warmer before they use up all the wax and wicks, they can just migrate those over to a more "adult" setup using kitchen appliances.

    No worries. It was funny if a bit awkward.
    As for why the center of the candle collapsed, most materials shrink when cooled (except water because water is weird). The wick may have absorbed some wax but I think that would be a negligible amount.... Perhaps not.

    This reminds me. As a kid, I tried candle making. Using mostly leftovers. Mixing white and colored to create new colors.
    One time I was too lazy and the wax began to set at the wall of the can. With a whisk, I mixed it. But instead of melting the setting part in the molten part, the consistency I achieved resembled ice cream.
    With a scoop, I made a few balls and put them in an ice cream bowl. Leaving it out on the dinner table, after a while some people started poking a finger at it to see if the ice wasn't melting. Yes, foolish me forgot the wick.

      Like how they think you can use mica and soap colorant in a candle lol. Sure mica shows up, but it's not by far the best when it comes to coloring a candle. I thought it would just sink to the bottom tbh. Also, how they thought you could get away with just a few drops of an essential oil and it would still be just as strong if you burned it later. People have to use more fragrance than they realize when it comes to candles that will actually throw a scent.
