To begin I'd like to start by telling you that when you first begin crafting your candles it’s more than ok to ask questions and it’s important that you do so in order to ensure you're not only crafting safely but in the best way possible! It’s also important that you know there are many waxes, wicks, fragrances and candle vessels out there for you to use but here I'll tell you what products are best to use when you first begin making candles.

1. G1 Superior 100% Soy Wax: Start by first choosing your wax, we recommend that a good reliable and natural wax for beginners is our G1 Superior Soy wax. Soy wax is a very good wax not only because it is a natural product but because of its clean burn and great adhesion to glass containers.

2.  Fragrance Oils: Here at General Wax & Candle Co. We carry a variety of different high quality fragrances that are GMO free. Both of our regular and ultra fragrances are great for beginners.

3. A standard Melting pitcher and Pot: are used for double boiling.

4. Monticiano Clear Glass Container is the perfect starter candle jar for new candle makers

5. 105 HTP Wick: Our 105 HTP is a great standard high quality wick to begin with when using our Moticiano 9.5oz candle vessels.

6. Glue Dots: Highly adhesive Glue Dots are the easiest way to keep your wicks perfectly centered in your jars.

7. Wick Bars: Our wooden wick bars are great for candle-making as they will help center the wick while you pour the wax.

8. Thermometer: A thermometer is an essential tool for candle making, as wax is very temperature-sensitive.
