Dipping Can

Dipping cans can be used if you decide to use the dipping candle technique. You can use any size dipping can, provided that the can is at least 2.5cm (1in) taller than the height of the candle you intend to make. There are special cylindrical containers which are specially designed for candlemaking. However, if you do not want to spend too much money, you can use a pet food can or anything else that can hold the liquid wax and can be placed in direct heat. Ensure that the can or cylindrical container is sitting in a pan of simmering water, with the level going as high up the sides as possible.
