How do you light up a bulb with a candle?

Answer 1

By wax molded into a shape by heat
Candles are made using wax. Wax can come in many forms such as soy wax comes in a flake form and there are other type of waxes that come in a block form. You measure out the amount you need and let it heat to the proper temperature, you then add the fragrance oil of your choice that's used for candle making.

You will also need wicks and dye blocks or liquid colors to color your candles.

On most candle suppliers websites they will have instructions for you to follow step by step.
Making candles is fun but also a long process and do require proper techniques if you want your candle to burn properly and put off a scent.

If you are just starting out you can go to your local hobby store and grab a kit with the materials to make your first candle. Most candle items purchased at a local store don't have the higher end candle making equipment.

1. Use a heavy pot that you no longer plan to cook with for melting the wax.

If you purchase a Candle kit most of the Candle kits will have a pouring pot which are also used to melt your wax in.

There are different types of wax available some include: beeswax, soy wax, and regular candle wax.

Wax has to be poured at a correct temperature and it also has to be heated to the proper temperature.

2. You will also need a fiber for the candle wick.

There are different types of wicks. Wicks are most made of cotton. You can also use organic cotton for the wicks that are more environmentally friendly.

Wicks come pre-tabbed already in your candle kit or you can tab the wicks yourself.

3. To create a candle in a container. You need a fire resistant container to pour the wax into such as the pouring pot which comes in a candle kit or can be purchased seperate

4. next pour a small amount of your heated wax into the bottom of the container to set the wick.

Make sure you measure your wax, Usually if you are making scented candles you would want to melt 1oz of wax per lb of fragrance oil.

5. You can also purchase wick holders which holds the wick in place while pouring your wax into the container

6. Pour the wax at the proper temperature, if you pour it too hot you will not have a smooth top.

It you pour it to cool the tops still may come out bumpy.

That is some of the basics of candle making. A lot comes along with making a good quality candle unless you are doing it for fun or as a personal hobby.

Below are things that you must take into consideration.

To make candles you will need these supplies, wax of your choice, you will also need to purchase wicks, dye blocks or liquid dye and fragrance oils to make your candles.

First you will need to melt down your wax using the proper temperature.

Next you also will want to have your jars set aside and already wicked so once your wax cools down you will be ready to pour your mixture in your containers.

Once your wax gets to a proper temperature you then will need to add your color and after that your fragrance oil.

Mix well.

The coloring has to be added at a proper temp and so does your fragrance oil.

Let it cool and pour it into your waiting container. Candles also take a few days to cure.

It is a lot that goes into Candle Making so make sure you follow the Candle Making directions listed on your suppliers website.

Here are a few things to take into consideration.

Proper size wicks for the diameter of each jar.

Pouring temperatures- When to add the oil and when to add the color.
You buy Candle Making supplies, Choose which ever type of wax you prefer to use. Then you buy Fragrance oils, wicks, jars, labels & other Candle making equipment. When your supplies arrive you melt your wax to the melting temp, then you add your color which is called dye blocks or liquid dye, then add (fo) fragrance oiland pour the finished melted wax into a container and let it sit and cool for about 2 days then test burn it.

Keep in mind you have a melting point, and a pouring point, you have to use so much oil per lb of wax for your candle to smell and also you have to use proper size wicks for each size or style container you plan on using.

When making Candles you have to have techniques proper or your candle will not come out right.

Answer 2

When you try to light a piece of solid wax, it melts, but it does not burn. If solid wax doesnt burn, how does a candle burn? Is it the string wick that is in the middle of the candle that burns? String will burn, but it doesnt burn like a candle does. How then does a candle burn?

When you light the wick of a candle, the wax at the top of the candle melts. The molten wax is drawn up the wick just like water soaks to a paper towel. As the wax flows up, the wick gets closer to the heat of the flame, then evaporates. The wax vapour mixes with the oxygen in the air and burns

Answer 3

The fire uses the carbon in the wick to fuel itself, and the wax blocks the fire from all but the exposed piece of wick, so as the heat slowly melts the wax, only a little bit of the wick is exposed at a time. This way the fire cannot reach the whole wick, so it burns for longer.

Answer 4

I once made a candle from rolling a wick onto a stick, dipping the wick in the wax, and in water, in the wax, and in water, in the wax, and in water, repeatedly, moving it to shape it at times.

answ2. Candles are commonly referred to as 'hand made' or 'machine made'.

Hand made candles can start with a length of wick, dipped in molten wax, then hung up to cool. Repeat and repeat as necessary. It is common to make them in batches of a dozen or so.

Machine made candles are made by positioning a wick in a metal mold, filling the mold with wax, and allowing it to cool.

It is possible to make them by extruding the cooling wax through a mold and chilling quickly.
