sfx56 asked:


just started making candles for my own use at home and don’t know how to clean wax from used containers(jars,etc.)Also i am on a very limited budget(retired)and was wondering if you can use food coloring rather than color made especially for candles? I really enjoy making the candles but i can see the price of supplies is going to make it very difficult to enjoy this hobby. If anyone has any ideas on less expensive options(colors&scents) i would appreciate your advice.Thank You

    I don’t know about using different things for your colors or scents, but when I want to get that last bit of wax out to reuse the container I always put them in the freezer for a while and the wax just pops out.
