Lost but not Found?
« on: September 04, 2016, 10:57:20 pm »
I can't find the post that tells how to make stored candles shine again? I remember rb saying to use a soft cloth, but didn't someone say to use heat someway? ??? I want to take some to the farmers market next Wednesday. and want them to look good. Jack

Riverbee....

"beeswax, and beeswax candles develop what's called 'bloom', a whitish light covering on it........just take a nylon or a soft cloth to a beeswax bar or a beeswax candle and polish it, looks shiny and new again!"

Apis....

"Heat also works, Use a heat gun to warm the candle sides This works well on candles with a lot of details, like pine combs and skeps."

shine them up!  be careful if you decide to use a heat gun jack, you can easily mess your candle up! 

what type of candles are you selling jack? 
am starting to think i need to get going on candle making again........just plain whooped out from extracting honey the past few days and still don't have my mess cleaned up........ :D
