And Kirstie goes back in time and embarks on a bit of rag
and boning for the local Women's Institute's bring-and-buy sale. She also does
a spot of gilding.After a candle's been poured, air can
become trapped inside, so over the next few hours the skin must be regularly
broken to release any bubbles. Use a fat needle or cocktail stick to do this.
Releasing the air bubbles will eventually make the candle sink, so you will
need to top it up with more melted wax.Step Six: Remove From The MouldIf you don't have a double boiler, use an
empty coffee can to hold the wax. Place it in a saucepan that leaves at least 1
inch all the way around the can.
For a lacy effect,
fill the mold with small ice cubes or chunks before pouring in the wax. As the
ice melts, the wax is left with tunnels and holes that make an unusual design.
