5. Know the safety techniques of candle making.
- When heating wax, it should be tended at all times.
- Have a fire extinguisher handy when heating wax in case it flares up.
- In the event of a flare-up, you may be able to extinguish the flame by covering the pot with a lid, cutting off the oxygen. If this fails, you will need a fire extinguisher.
- Wax should be melted in a double boiler rather than with direct heat. A double boiler can be improvised by placing the wax in a large tin can and then placing the can in a pot of water. The water is then boiled and the heat is transferred to the wax, causing it to melt. An added advantage to using a tin can for this purpose is that it can be discarded when finished.
- Hot wax and boiling water can burn you. Exercise appropriate caution.
