A great project!!! I think that this candle looks like a storm. Some points are: - have a big bucket with water, with more than you think you will need. When I dropped it in, a large chunk of wax came off, as it was not deep enough to set it above the other wax. - if you use a plate, rather than a bowl as i did, then the edges won't be so rounded at the bottom of the candle. - use the detergent to line the bowl/plate WELL. even around the outside, so that it will come off easily. - so the bowl that your wax is melted in can be easily cleaned, also line it with detergent. - you may need a knife to gently 'pop' the wax off the bowl/plate, but be gentle when handling. REMEMBER- if it doesnt turn out as planned, remelt it and try again!!!
