The core candle is dipped in vats of HOT WAX (160 degrees) with pigment dyes which offers the best colors. The core candle is dipped in HOT WAX of various colors (some customers choose solid colors) some 25 plus times. Once dipping is completed. The Chandler has only 15 minutes to carve the design before the WAX becomes brittle and starts to crumble. The result is a beautifully crafted piece of ART that combines function and beauty for many years, a gift that is sure to please.
