The advice below will be very helpful if you truly enjoy candle making. Try using wick tabs and make sure the wax and wicks are prepared before starting your first floating candle. Keep a watchful eye on the wax as it melts and when the time is right use a thermometer to see if the wax has reached a temperature of 180 F. You can drip the wax into the mold once you have added the scent or scents of choice, be very careful that the mold does not get filled to it’s capacity as it will not float. Pop the candle form the mold when it’s cool enough, trim the wick, place your floating candle into the water and see if it floats.
