One Aluminium tube mould length 33cm, Internal dimensions 1.5 x 3.5 cm

Needle to thread the wick

Suitable wick 3X4 sold by the meter

Method of use:

Thread the wick to the needle and punch a hole through the plug at the centre pull the wick through the plug and through the tube-mould. Insert the plug and attach the loose end of the wick to a support (for example to a tooth-pick). Take care that the wick is tight.

Melt the paraffin wax by heating at 85 degrees C and add colour and fragrance. With a hair drier heat the tube so that it is warm to the touch. Fill the tube with wax at 85C leaving some 20% for topping up later. Allow to harden, then fill the gap with the remaining wax and wait a further few minutes for it to cool to room temperature. Release the wick, remove the plug and then by gently tapping the tube on a hard surface and pulling the wick the candle will be released.
