It has been a lot of funning putting my site together. I'm not an expert on html so have adopted some software called Mr Site to simplify matters. It works pretty well although there are one or two features I would like it to do better.
Anyway enough of the technicals. My interest is candles. When I was younger I went through s stage of making candles at home. My basic process (and this is very basic) was to find an interesting mold (my favourite was a Buda) and then heat up a fair quantity of wax pellets. Next was to add some stearine (makes the candle set harder) and dye and let it all melt down.
After that, it was time to thread the wick through the end of the mould, invert the mould and place it in a holder. Next wax was poured in and it was left to start cooling. I needed to add wax every now and again as the liquid was contracted while cooling. After a few hours a fantastic candle appeared out of the mould.
So interests nowadays are selling candles rather than making them. The more unusual the better.
