When using Acrylic Molds, make your candle in accordance with mold instructions. Use a good general candle making wax such as Walnut Hill CWl 34. Add stearine or crystals to make the candle harder and longer-burning. Choose a color to match or compliment your room decor. Be sure to add the color and scent just before you are ready to pour the candle, so that the color will not be altered and the scent will not dissipate. Wax should be poured into acrylic molds at 200°F to 205°F and stirred lightly with a wooden dowel while touching the sides of the mold to achieve the best finish.

The Candle Critters are made in two-piece Groove Lock plastic molds. Be sure to follow the mold directions and add the hardeners and additives as stated above. The wax must be poured no hotter than 180°F or you will destroy the mold. These candles can be detailed with acrylic paints to achieve an attractive, lively character.
