Thank you for all your help! I have been able to make a bunch of candles
over the weekend…my husband thinks I am nuts but hey that is normal!

OK I was curious about what you were asking. I just started in making
candles so I might not be the best person, but I did research it a
little I have seen a few websites that do say to warm your containers in
a 200 degree oven to make the candles stick to the sides. Also that if
your wax is too cool that it will pull away. Also not to put your
candles in a drafty place because that will make them pull away also. I
am impatient so I have put mine in the fridge and I have not seen a
problem. So I don't know.

Okay, you guys. I have NOT made candles since high school!!!

I seem to have acquired a job of helping other people clean out their houses before they put them on the market. So today I was given a tin FULL of candles, gold, blue, red, blue, green, mauve, and even 2 beeswax. These have all been used some, but there's about 1/2 here. So what do I do with these?

My candle storage is stuffed, overflowing.I can't add them to that. I could toss them, but I don't want to. I keep thinking they'd make beautiful chunk candles, but I sure don't need them. And, yes, I (of course) have some candle glasses I could use. I have 2  tall straight sided ones and one or two rounded side ones (like brandy snifters without a base). The tall ones were tossed by the local church & I snagged 'em out of the dump. Put a bunch back there when I figured out how many I thought I could use. The rounded ones are part of a batch save for a lamp project (someday).

What I'm hearing is that I just talked myself into making chunk candles. Huh.  I'll go look at Suzanne's write up. If it works, i'll see if I can't take a pic (our camera died) and I'll give at least one of them to the friend of mine who gave me the tin with the candles.

Sigh. I did NOT need another project, really!
