"My
candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But oh my foes and my friends-
It gives a lovely light"

Melting
the wax:
1) Read instructions provided.
2) Cover work area with freezer paper (wax side up) and
use an apron to protect from wax drippings.
3) Prepare your molds. Spray with Mold Release to ensure
easy removal.
4) Have wicking ready and inserted into the mold. Note
the "T"
pin on the bottom of each mold, insert the wicking using
a large eyed darning needle. Most molds are split to
make removal of the candle very easy. Your mold comes
with rubber bands to hold the seams together. Beeswax
at the proper temperature will not leak through. A large
bobby pin will hold your wick to the center of the mold.
