Candle making is an OUTDOOR activity. Yep. Ask any fireman. If you heat wax on a stove, and kids or the phone sidetrack
you, and the wax overheats or boils over, you might as well
have a major firebomb go off in the kitchen.
The closed lid of a barbecue works fine, so does a cheap
single element electric hot-plate, or an electric frying pan.
With an electric frying pan you can even set the temperature.
It is quite safe to put different cans with different colors
of wax side by side onto the electric frying pan. Pyrex
measuring pitchers are fine too.
For ALL candle making, except sand candles, use the lowest
temperature at which all the wax melts. Otherwise it shrinks
too much when it cools, and you wind up with air pockets
and other problems.
Have FUN!
